A thread to discuss naming threads, board policy, new thread suggestions, and anything else that has to do with board administration and maintenance. Guaranteed to include lively debate and polls. Natter discouraged, but not deleted.
Current Stompy Feet: ita, Jon B, DXMachina, P.M. Marcontell, Liese S., amych
Maybe they could just fit into what we have now. What DO we have now? We've got a thread where we recommend, and another where we post bits of what we're writing, yes? Perhaps that's enough. Personally, I enjoy the badfic mockage thread but I'm not gonna stamp my little feet about it. I guess in our two threads we do all the same things that happen at TwoP in about five separate threads. So yeah.
Of course if I go over there and tell people about here, Ace will probably ban me or something. ;)
No posting boxes anywhere ita. Thanks.

We've got one for discussion "Fan Fiction: Readers, Writers, and Enablers". And then we've got Bitchy Fic and PPO for Buffy and Smallville.
I don't want to come across like I'm high and mighty about the badfic. I mock the badfic. But I don't necessarily want to institutionalize it.
The badfic thread is hysterical, but I feel mean about it.
I like the badfic mockage as a running joke with the DRTBF, but don't really want to see a whole thread of it.
also kind of fear an influx of many TWoP posters, but that's just residual trauma from when I hung out at MBTV
This is going to sound horribly snobbish, but perhaps people on TWoP could just privately nudge the posters they like over here, without making board-wide announcements? Because I'm all for new people, as long as they're exactly like us.
I'm with Angus, which isn't strange because otherwise we're twins in every aspect of our lives. Well, sort of, by which I hardly at all. But I agree with him anyway.
Angus, I like your idea. Certainly, rescue people from the sinking ship and help them get to the dry land and beautiful climate of our island. But TWoP gets an enormous number of hits and I fear a stampede if a link is posted to the message board there.
Please no links on really popular boards! We can handle a trickle, but I don't know about a flood. Of new people, that is.
I'm with yall since I had to flee the TWoP btvs boards due to the very disturbing atmosphere.
