And what's the fun in becoming an immortal demon if you're not regular, am I right?

The Mayor ,'End of Days'


The Minearverse 3: The Network Is a Harsh Mistress  

[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls and The Inside), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

Kat started whitefonting, and she's definitely on this side of the country. I think it spiralled from there, but was hardly consistent. So any west coaster trying to stay unspoiled would have been out of luck.

Blame Kat.

I whitefonted because, WTF? Who knows what the rules are and I hate the navel gazing that goes with the discussion of "is this the correct rule?" So I decided to err on the side of whitefont vs. not.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

Yeah. I'm doing a full episode guide for TI.org now, including all the guest stars yadadada.

I've picked up one interesting thing from IMDB about one of them.. (Which I'd picked up in the 'Questions asked' thing anyway).

I've mailed Tim to ask if he's okay with me reusing snipplets from here, if anybody is wondering. If there's any problem with it I'll remove it no questions asked.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Blame Kat.

It is all your fault. Or Nilly's. Sometimes I get confused.

If it says NAFDA in the slug/header, you don't need to whitefont if it's already been aired. Outside NAFDA threads, erring on white is good.

Slugs? Headers? People actually look at those? I just scroll past as quickly as possible.

But whatev. As often as someone has tried to explain NAFDA to me, it refuses to sink in. Thank god.

What is even happening?

Do we cross-show-thread white font? If people mention "Lost" in here, should they white font, and if people mention "The Inside" in the "Lost" thread, should they white font?

OH! I know why the confusion. If everything is open game here, then why did we ever end up with a Wonderfalls Spoilers thread?

Art Crawl!!!

Because people had seen the WF unaired episodes before the dvd release.

I got nothing, then. Whitefont away.

Please let's have NAFDA mean NAFDA. Please. Simply -- if it's aired on the east coast, it's legit.

Wonderfalls spoilers was for those of you who got to see episodes that never aired, long before the DVDs were released.

I found the NAFDA explanation, which answered my own question: [link]

We do cross-show-thread white font.

Everything aired. Spoilers still exist, but the rules are just like those for a Buffy thread, but for all shows.
