Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Bureaucracy 1: Like Kafka, Only Funnier  

A thread to discuss naming threads, board policy, new thread suggestions, and anything else that has to do with board administration and maintenance. Guaranteed to include lively debate and polls. Natter discouraged, but not deleted.

Do we have a Firefly quotable thread yet?

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

Name it, Kat.

"And a whore!"

Or: "Was it space monkeys?" because that seemed to get a lot of love, out of the entire first episode.

The space monkeys one is pretty good.

Lori likes

For sheer stupidity for people of a certain age who grew up with the Great Space Coaster, I'd recommend "The Great Space Quoter." Which is sort of my favorite.

Give me a minute and I'll be back with some more.

Okay, because I am a silly billy, and also haven't seen tonight's ep yet, that silence was intentional, right?

Also: so this is the place we choose NAFDA thread titles, right? Won't that be spoilery for UnAmericans?

Okay, other thoughts:

"And did I mention there's a whore?"

"Oh, my god, I'm a hack." which seems somewhat appropriate since we're talking about writing.

"Joss's first nonlatex show"

Man, Being creative on demand for a pithy one line epigram - too stressful to me. But if you want to know how to get 12 year olds to write a literary analysis, I'm your woman. Well not your woman, technically, more Lori's woman but you get my point.

I'm down with the whore.

In the same sense that Kat's our woman.

As in get your mind out of the gutter.
