A ghost? What's the deal? Is every frat on this campus haunted? And if so, why do people keep coming to these parties, cause it's not the snacks.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

My reflex is that the recommended fanfiction should point to rec pages or to archives.

To individual stories there you mean? Because a list of archives isn't really that helpful, to me anyway, but individual story recs would be.

I'm trying to get away from (on the links page, anyway) from linking to individual stories, because of sheer volume. So I think there should be a fan fiction section that points to recs and archives.

On the links page, absolutely. But if we're to have an actual recs page (and I'd be glad to assist with the upkeep, btw) I'd like to see individual stories.

That's also under discussion on the BBaBB thread somewhere, about the scope, etc.

Plasmo, brings up a good point. We circled around the banning process and came to a general consensus of warning, suspension, banning, but we didn't nail it down and make it specific. Which we should probably go ahead and do.

Again, I'm going on record as get much more specific than that and you're asking for trouble.

Your asking for it either way, mind, but you're asking for worse trouble when you go into more specifics.

But that's the bitter old BBS queen/sysop in me talking.

Thanks for all the fish.

The quote that just came up in the header (That's disturbing. You are emotionally scarred and will turn out badly.) is attributed to Dawn, when, in fact, it is Anya referring to Dawn.

Just for accuracy.

Thanks, Elena. It's been corrected.
