'Buffy meets chinatown' is how I always describe to friends. Do I have to make a speech after a successful vote?
The money was too good. I got stupid.

A thread to discuss naming threads, board policy, new thread suggestions, and anything else that has to do with board administration and maintenance. Guaranteed to include lively debate and polls. Natter discouraged, but not deleted.

so am I late to the title thread party? (sigh)
Do I need to start the discussion of the Fall TV thread?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
You should make a proposal -- a little more detail than upthread -- for what you want. The seconders will be here anon, I'm sure.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Oh, you mean I need to add specifics? Whoever would have thunk it. oh my, I guess I do need hand-holding! :-)
Here's my proposal that I think needs discussion:
I would like to become a bit more involved in some of the TV discussions here, but I can't get to Natter in time for anything I have to say to mean anything. I know there are/have been discussions about thread proliferation and when individual shows need threads. I am interested in further discussion that may help address various peoples' needs/wants.
Embedded in this are two options as I see them: 1) A Fall TV thread which would cover new series that debut September, October, or November; or 2) a New Series Thread that could encapsulate all the new series airing from September 1, 2005-August 31, 2006.
The second option could capture discussion of "Prison Break", "Reunion", mid-season replacement series, and summer series.
I know a thread for Option 1 may be short-lived, however, knowing y'all buffistas, we might be on thread #4 by the time Christmas comes.
So essentially the two options proposed differ in terms of what folks may most desire: long-running threads (option 2) or more concentrated discussion (option 1). Neither thread, in my view, would cover continuing series.

Seconded, with a preference for option #2.

That's a lot to chew on. But I'll Second because I think somewhere in there is an option that might work.

Hmmm, if we go with option #1 -- it looks like the last Fall series to premier, debut in the first week of October.
But Option #2 is very interesting too.

I thought LeN already got a whole bunch of seconds yesterday?
But if those didn't count, I'll second.

She got seconds for a vague idea -- this is a proper proposal.

Ah. That makes a little more sense.
