If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Actually, that would go in Cable now, wouldn't it?

I like your "quirky drama" suggestion earlier. I'd prefer that to just "other stuff."

Yes, it would -- I saw an ad for it during the 4400 tonight.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

::grin:: I hereby amend to Quirky Drama then. Those totally weren't going to be thread titles, though. I am crap at making up titles.

Wouldn't a drama thread be a no for the next 6 months due to the proposal that was just voted down?

Yeah, that would be another problem with the "other stuff" thread. Otherwise it all seems kosher to me.

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

I guess we have to determine if a slightly different drama thread is enough different from the previous proposal to fall under the prohibition.

If it is sufficiently different I really hope we can decide clearly what is different enough so there's not an unending cascade of thread requests, for which there'll be no doubt that the proposer sees a bright line between it and one that failed.

Drama We Watch That Isn't Procedurals.

and

Quirky Drama

are both basically Drama threads. So I would hope that people would respect our voting procedures and not re-propose until the 6 month moritorium is over.

I agree on the first but I think the second would depend a lot on how it was defined.
