Mal: How come you didn't turn on me, Jayne? Jayne: Money wasn't good enough. Mal: What happens when it is? Jayne: Well... that'll be an interesting day.

Hey, Schmoker, welcome to Buffistaville. You might want to take a look at the FAQ and the quickie etiquette page before you post if you harbor concerns about being blasted for being new. We don't do that, but we do have standards. (Not the Bart Simpson in the Simpsons credits kind, the keeping the community warm, fuzzy and lovable kind.)

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Spoiler is whited out, but I'm not 100% certain we're THAT dogmatic on this season BtVS and AtS spoilers. I also reserve the right to let things stand if the shows ever start effecting each other again.
I really want to revisit the policy, because it changed from, IIRC, being able to discuss Buffy in the Angel thread and Angel in the Buffy thread around the time that we started having Firefly discussions, and I think it's stifling show discussion on the shows that are actually related and set in the same verse.

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

I disagree. That the shows are related and in the same verse, for starters, but I don't want to throw tape-fairied people out of the one show thread they're live in.

I'm not saying that we can't have a holding time on discussing it, but a reasonable one seems fair, like 2-3 weeks or something.

I vote for white-font discussing. I can hardly remember what happened S3 versus 4, much less how many weeks ago an event this season I want to talk about happened.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I'm fine with white fonting, but I do think it's going a bit overboard, like spoiler fonting the fact that Glowy Cordy ascended. Wasn't that last season?
PS--like my exemplary use of spoiler font?

If I only had a brain...
You whitefont that because I burst into tears every time I see it.
Make it go AWAY, Joss!
