I still think some sort of voluntary check box for major show titles that would put a bold inset of the show name before a post would be useful. However, I am not wed to it and just skip and skim and hope I see any posts of subjects I am looking for.

In other words, it would be nice, but I can live without it. I've been on the participation side of W&P of my favorite shows, so I figure I can let others do the same. Who knows? perhaps I'll watch SPN some time and get hooked, myself.

We are going to need a bigger boat new Boxed Set soon, though.

Also, we should probably remember to name the show we're posting about at the beginning of our posts. (I know I forget to do that myself.)

I think it's more important at the start of a discussion, or when someone is posting about a different show (e.g. suddenly switching to Eureka when the most recent string of posts has been about Dresden Files).

Also, I wanted to direct people to this post in Buffista Fic: Anne W. "Buffista Fic 2: They Said It Couldn't Be Done." Apr 7, 2007 7:42:48 am PDT (Basically, I'm wondering if anyone might be interested in a b.org only fic exchange or ficathon)

I would be REALLY strongly opposed to discussion of another show taking over our Buffy & Angel thread, even if it is low volume. That would feel disrespectful of our origins to me.

Matt is me.

The W&P'ers seem to be having such a good time. My only problem, and it's very minor, is that if you post about something else during a W&P, it's likely to get lost.

This is sort of off-the-wall, but if people start wanting to do this with other shows that have recently come out as DVDs, maybe we could just establish a W&P thread. (B5 W&P, anyone?)

I don't watch SPN, but this is the right thread for it, so having the w&p here is cake; having a link to the end of it for the convenience of skipping would be icing.

Very much this. And sorry if my original comment was read as a "get-thee-elsewhere" statement. I just remembered that during the HEROES lightbulb discussion there was supposition that SPN probably had more posting going on for it and the current numbers bear that out (the fact that HEROES went on hiatus so soon after the thread went live, coupled with the lack of DVDs, is a major factor - I'm curious how the numbers go in HEROES since there's so much antici....pation for the next round of new episodes).

When I notice the big jump in posts in Boxed Set it means suck and skim time. It brings a smile to my face to skim the flailing. It amuses, doesn't annoy. I may even watch the show some day.

The only time I get frustrated in this thread is when there is a lot of show discussion overlap. My brain gets confused! If SPN and Eureka add characters named Lee brain will explode. At those time a show note at the beginning of the post would be most helpful. If someone has a sudden Eureka or BSG question or comment in the midst of the flailing they should post away with a show tag.

Also, next week SciFi Friday returns! Whee!

My point about putting the name of the show in your posts is that you can then search through combined W&Ps for the show that you are talking about.

I think it's more important at the start of a discussion, or when someone is posting about a different show (e.g. suddenly switching to Eureka when the most recent string of posts has been about Dresden Files).

Sometimes there is a flurry of posts on more than one show simultaneously, so there is occasional mix-n-match. If we work to develop the habit of labelling our posts, that will be less of a challenge.

If SPN and Eureka add characters named Lee brain will explode.

How do you think I feel?

My SPN DVDs came yesterday! They're so shiny and wrapped in plastic.
