Fred: It's the pictures in my mind that are getting me. It's like being stuck in a really bad movie with those Clockwork Orange clampy things on my eyeballs. Wesley: Why imagine? Reality's disturbing enough.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

We're spending a ton of time on a disclaimer for people who don't "get it" from the name of the site and the "A community..." blurb. Which is all to say I think Holli's note should be under the "A community..." blurb.

How has registration been in the last couple days?

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

15 registrations this weekend, 640 users total.

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

FAQ question...

If you're looking for fanfiction in general, you might want to visit Fanfiction.net or the Buffy Fiction Archive.

First, do we want to make the BfA a live link, and second, do we want to keep the horror that is ff.net in there?

Shawn, from a quick look, it looks about normal. DX would be able to tell you more.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

DX would be able to tell you more.

ita has better information, though, because she can look directly at the database. Based on the system messages, we had 3 on Thursday, 9 on Friday, 12 on Saturday, and 3 yesterday. Friday and Saturday were the two biggest days for new users since Christmas Eve.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

What was the average number of new registrations per day, before Joss posted?

Thanks for all the fish.

Could someone please change the address of my story page from
(http://bifictionalbedlam.slashcity.tv/guests/elena.html)
to
(http://bifictionalbedlam.slashcity.net/guests/elena.html)
in the Buffistas links?

Thanks.

Never mind, ita is too quick for me. Thanks ita!

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

Can we have a thread called Food so all of the dieting people can go there and make the rest of us not feel bad about refusing to diet due to lack of self control and general laziness?

Oh wait. Food might be a bad, non supportive name. Maybe we could call it Famine.

edited to add: I'm joking. Mostly.

I post at a board where we call the thread, "The Incredible Shrinking Ass"

The thing is, it gets overwhelming, and I don't use it. I think as people get used to their resolutions, they'll talk about it less.

I'm all for a thread about hypochondria, though.

"Hi, I have a pimple, but it could be skin cancer. Soothe me."
