Any stompy could do it in seconds. I guess the issues are: (1) Does anyone object to the concept, and (2) would anyone object to having their post edited by a stompy to add this info?
Simon: You are my beautiful sister. River: I threw up on your bed. Simon: Yep. Definitely my sister.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Anyone who would object could just be sure not to be the first watch-n-post poster, no?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I think a stompy adding a line of "Watch-n-post ends here" is a great idea. (And I can't imagine anyone objecting to that kind of edit, especially to a post as content-free as the watch-n-posts usually are.)

You can avoid this by just having a Stompey make a post just before 8:00, then they could just edit their own post.
Although I will go on record as saying I wouldn't care at all if my post were edited to include a link.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

That's not a bad idea (although as the Stompy Least Likely To Be Home On a Tuesday, I shouldn't just volunteer the others). Are there any admins who are regularly around at that time and willing to do it?

I've never seen an instance of a sustained analysis that would take both shows into account. They have very little in common these days.
I've seen a lot of it, just not here, unless its in Spoilers, because the task of whitefonting the various points is too much of a pain in the ass for any sort of in-depth thing. Hell, I was reading some good essays about both shows earlier today.
I refrain from it because of the white font policy, fwiw. Thematically, I've always discussed the shows together. I'm glad we're making a move to limit the white font time period in NAFDA. Either the weekend or the week is fine with me.

Just make the edit specifically state that it is an edit. That should placate any potential drama queens.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
And add something to the FAQ or the slug, in the event that new people who were not a part of the discussion make the first post.

Also, does WUTW mean Friday night, Saturday, or Sunday?
How about the end of the week, board time? i.e., after midnight Eastern time Saturday night/Sunday morning.

Just because it would be incredibly weird and quirkily Buffista, I propose that "weekend" in this case mean "whenever Nilly's Sabbath is done".
