We die horribly and painfully, you go to hell and I spend eternity in the arms of baby Jesus.

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.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Current:

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion that sometimes gets enthusiastic, bawdy, lusty, lewd and raunchy. Mature audiences only.

Suggested revision:

[NAFDA] The girl-talk thread -- a virtual slumber party where we try on corsets, braid each other's hair, talk about boys (and girls), and nothing is TMI. Oh, and some of us think Spike is hot.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

You might mention that some boys occasionally stop in on the girl-talk.

You might mention that some boys occasionally stop in on the girl-talk.

And some more than occasionally (Hec).

t edit I don't like "girl-talk" because a lot of it isn't -- like the body image discussion, the Am I Crazy? discussions.

Plus, we should keep the line "Mature audiences only."

What about:

[NAFDA] A virtual slumber party where we try on corsets, braid each other's hair, talk about boys (and girls), and nothing is TMI. Oh, and some of us think Spike is hot. Boys are outnumbered, but we love you anyway.

I'd still add "Mature audiences only" as a caveat lector.

If I only had a brain...

I agree with Steph.

(Leaving out the "only" because I don't like the flow of the double 'y' of "anyway" and "only" in the last two sentences if it's left in.)

[edit: So I suppose it could also go:

[NAFDA] A virtual slumber party where we try on corsets, braid each other's hair, talk about boys (and girls), and nothing is TMI. Oh, and some of us think Spike is hot. Boys are outnumbered, but we still love you. For Mature Audiences Only.]

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

No input on content, but I think that may be too long to be the slug on the front page.


Steph L. - Oct 09, 2002 2:34:23 pm PDT #433 of 10001

To abbreviate, how about:

[NAFDA] A virtual slumber party where conversation ranges from Spike and sex to serious matters. For Mature Audiences Only.]

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

Yup. Too long.
