Yes, but regardless of what you think about how much traffic it will get (and you certainly have more experience with that than I do, since I have...none), shrift is a Buffista, and shriftweb is her site, and there's a lot of stuff for Buffistas and the fandom at large on that site. It just would have been nice to ask.
Poor Buffy. Your life resists all things average.

Discussion of the Mutant Enemy series, Firefly, the ensuing movie Serenity, and other projects in that universe. Like the other show threads, anything broadcast in the US is fine; spoilers are verboten and will be deleted if found.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I hope a brazilian people read Nilly's review, because I think it's lovely. I don't hope shrift takes that bandwidth hit.
But hey, there's a reason we s/slashdotted/whedonesqued/g around here.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
Dana - I had no idea what shiftweb was, is the thing.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Because we're so pretty?

Allyson, it was somebody here who suggested it should be put in front of JW's nose. If somebody doesn't want something putting on the internet, they probably shouldn't put it on the internet.
But here, we're polite.
I'd be interested to know if Nilly is remotely bothered by any of this.
I wouldn't dream of speaking for Nilly, ordinarily, but if experience tells me anything, it is that Nilly will say this is all her fault.

Curse wee Nilly for being brilliant!
Going home soon, will check bandwidth after I watch CSI... the show, not the Hodgeberries.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
In general, I'm a fan of the "look, if you post it publically on the Internet it's gonna get linked and forwarded to your Great-Aunt Ethel" argument. In this case, though, b.org has specific negative history with being linked to on Whedonesque--didn't they crash us a couple of times?--so we try to avoid advertising our existence in that way. Just one of those cultural things.

And the awesomest mod, Simon, always asks about it, makes sure we're cool if we get a link or a cite. Which is the awesomest.

I still remember the ridiculous kerfuffle when the Serenity board first got created and was linked on Slashdot. Fanpimp was woefully underprepared, and it showed. But people tried to blame it on the story submitter.

Well, you see, now I know this unspoken etiquette I'll follow it. I didn't link here because I figured there might be database type problems here for a bunch of people, I just mentioned it from a politeness point of view.
Kernel: Chris Bridges got an email about the last time he linked to SerenityMovie.com from Slashdot last month from Spec Ops Media.
