To ask someone to do it?
Um... I have a site I'm barely using at the moment (it's meant to be my fic, but isn't). I could post a general Buffy FAQ there, if someone will help me write it- possibly to the point of HTMLing it, if it contains season 7 spoilers.
I'm willing to help draft it.
Can we inundate you with questions?
Please do, but you might want to hold off till I post an initial list that we can add to/change.
I know I'm going to need help compiling and fact-checking answers.

You got it for the second part. Just let me know what you need to be checked.
Thanks Nilly!
Okay, here are some ideas for questions. Any additions or subtractions? This is just brainstorming right now, but I'm trying to stick to mythology and avoid things like the Ripper series and the status of S8.
1. How do you get to be a slayer?
2. Why are there two slayers right now?
3. Where do slayers in training come from?
4. Why wasn't another slayer called after Buffy died in The Gift?
5. Whatever happened to Faith? Oz? Drusilla? Harmony? Joyce? Riley? Hank Summers?
6. How old is Dawn? How come she's just starting high school in S7 when she was 14 in S5?
7. Is Spike's sire Drusilla, or Angel?
8. How old is Spike?
9. How old is Angel?
10. Didn't the same actress play Halfrek and Cecily? What's the connection between them?
12. Why did Spike get his soul at the end of S6? Didn't he want his chip out?
13. How come Buffy could close the portal at the end of S5?
14. When is Buffy's birthday? Wasn't it different in Season 1?
Do we actually want to be doing this in Bureacracy? Or is it a matter for, say, Previously?
I was thinking crafting a new FAQ was a bureaucratic matter, ergo bureaucracy. I definitely wouldn't put the discussion in Previously (tho we probably should do a call for Qs there). Should we do it by email, maybe?
I'm not sure. Just raising the question. And the list seems to cover most important points.
I think the crafting is a useful project to discuss in Bureaucracy. I'm just not convinced the actual writing should take place in Bureaucracy, since it's likely to be a thread-intensive one. The writing could take place elsewhere with suggestions & corrections posted to Bureaucracy, perhaps?
