I'd put B-tech into the community category.

Why? I mean, it isn't one. If the category name doesn't help you find the thread, then the thread shouldn't be in it, should it?

Firefly's not only not on TV anymore, it's a movie. Into a media folder, sure. Into a TV folder ... I don't think so.

I'm not trying to be a naysayer, but despite the upcoming movie, to me FF is always going to be a tv show. Yclassification-of-canceled-series-made-into-moviesMV.

That's not something I'd even try and argue you out of. Firefly hasn't stopped being a TV show just because they're making a movie. But I don't think it's scandalous to suggest that the thread discussion even now is on-topic broader than TV, by a good bit, and will get broader yet once the movie goes into wide release.

Hmm. I think maybe the initial distinction in my head was things people would come here for versus things people who are already here would be into. But then that puts the music thread into my community pile, which seems weird, too.

Just having TV and Other doesn't feel all that organizationally useful to me, although I guess if you add the spoiler threads and etc. it's a good chunk of our stuff.

What about fanfiction?

This is along the same idea as Liese's suggestion, but I don't know how to do the table things, and the breakdown is a little different... Notes in parentheses wouldn't appear. They're just there to make it clear what's what.

FOLDERS
We began as a single Buffy the Vampire Slayer discussion thread at Salon's Table Talk forum. When Salon went pay-for-play, we fled to World Crossing, while our resident techno-stars built the Phoenix. Not only have we risen from the ashes, we've grown exponentially, so we've added some organization, to help you if you're looking for Buffista discussion on other topics, as well. Take a look.

I like Liese's categories. I thought ita was still advocating a purely TV folder.

I like Liese's categries, too. I will point out that Buffy and Angel were in a different folder from Natter at WX (and TT, for that matter, although for different reasons).

I only feel a need to organise the TV threads. They're the ones that grow (randomly to me -- I don't think it's so much "VM's like Buffy!" as much as "Buffistas like VM!" -- that's fine, but it's a bolt-on or modification to our original thesis, not a growth like Minearverse of Firefly (IMO, natch)). I don't see there being too many more movie or fiction related threads, so large with the not caring.

I don't see any logic behind putting Tech with the literary arts, Cindy. PDAs have nothing much to do with arithmetic, for most of their users.

Oh, and the second part of my last post should have been, so I was thinking about categories from scratch and more broadly.
