Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

We've got a thread where we recommend, and another where we post bits of what we're writing, yes?
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.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
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.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
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.

love's a dream you enter though I shake and shake and shake you
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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
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.

I was thinking the same ting. The people who post in the fanfiction thread seem to avoid the rest of the btvs board for the same reason as you, candy, but a link would be a little too open.
