now I'm expecting someone to slash Kissinger and Churchill, and for Mr. Bubble to play a very large part.
T.C. Boyle wrote a funny short story slashing Mamie Eisenhower with Kruschev. I guess that's technically not slash, however. But it was RPS.
Book: Yes, I'd forgotten you're moonlighting as a criminal mastermind now. Got your next heist planned? Simon: No. But I'm thinking about growing a big black mustache. I'm a traditionalist.

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
COMM should be a must-read. I mean, really.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
But what do we call the sections?

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 anybody who says otherwise is WRONG. Wronger than a hot tub full of Henry Kissinger.
Ooo. Plot bunny. OOO! And I can loop it in with my "The Kid Stays in the Picture" idea. Thanks, Betsy!
Ahem.
Sections?
Announcements and Amusements
Administrative Issues
Archive and Quick Links.

RPS is Real People Slash. RPF is Real People Fic.
We now return you to your regularly-scheduled discussion.

with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi
As the person who arranged the threads in the first place, let me explain what the reasoning is.
The top bunch are meant to be urgent matters, the things people will need to know about the running of the community in order to be fully informed members of the community.
The bottom bunch are meant to be pointers to archives, discussions, and things that make accessing some of the content on the board easier. The top bunch are about running the community -- the bottom bunch are about the things that make the community fun.
I do not think COMM is "a must-read." It's cute, it's funny, I read it sometimes, but suggesting that it's more important than Better Board? I'm really, really against that.

Plus, change the name of the Voting Thread to something short (and all the names of the right-column threads were meant to be short) and give it a short slug, and the "problem" goes away.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Wronger than a hot tub full of Henry Kissinger.
I would just like it noted here that once you have the concepts 'hot tub' and 'Henry Kissinger', 'full of' becomes rather redundant. And yes, I am specifically thinking of Bad Girls.

When you call it announcements and amusements I realise I agree with Michele. COMM is great fun, but it's not the same.

So we tighten things, it comes back above the fold, and all is well.
