Pfft. Of course you're in the anti-cape cabal.

Hey. New board.
Capes are so in right now!
(...but I don't read the thread, so I don't think my vote counts.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Have a thread name and slug that actually matches the content of the thread? That flys in the face of everything Buffista!
How many of them actually confuse you, ND? Jossverse is/was the only one with a "wrong" description/slug, if memory serves.

The status is NOT quo.
Not ND, but I believe it was Boxed Set that pinged him earlier. I also think he was mostly being facetious (as difficult as that may be to believe).

You know, I forgot about the ND-Boxed Set thing. My assumption that it said "genre" and "etc" was made easy by already being inside it talking about any and every genre show. Maybe it was in the description and not the slug. Or something. Maybe I was just dreaming.

I couldn't tell ya. I don't think it was something that bothered him in any significant way, though. (He's not home yet, but I'm sure he'll chime in later if I'm wrong.)

It was the Stargate thing long ago and then some more confusion with Boxed set, but I can't remember what. Basically is started with the fact that Stargate was in the Due South thread, which made no sense and wasn't notated, and then with Boxed Set there was another odd set of what goes in there and what doesn't. Also, what specifically makes a show a "genre" show, I may be a bit dense but I'm not clear on that. There is also the unwritten fact that ANTM and TAR both get discussed in Natter. Where these things are is fine for me, but it is all kinda undocumented and confusing until you stumble across where everything lies.

As is CSI, and NUMB3RS and any other TV show which doesn't have a thread that includes it.
I've never been sure what's unclear about "genre." I know some people don't like the appropriation of the word, the intimation that sci-fi is a genre and romance is not, but it's always seemed clear that supernatural/fantasy/science fiction/glayvin were what the term was (inaccurately) referring to. And glayvin's there because there are so many terms--but for the bulk of the contents, people agree.

Huh, okay. Yeah, I didn't know that genre=Sci Fi/Fantasy/etc. so that would certainly be a part of the confusion for me.
