I guess I'm about an hour late on this.
Where will talk of "Bionic Woman" go?
Boxed Set, I assume.
When the proposal for Boxed Set was made, was it for all sci-fi fantasy to go in it automatically? It happened shortly before I joined the board, so I didn't see the original proposal.
I don't know, but I'd say it's become more or less standard procedure, particularly for network and basic cable stuff.
It's become more than standard procedure, but I'm one of the ones who never realised anyone thought it wasn't automatic, so my word is tainted on it. Every thing I've ever said about or in description of that thread has been with that as the basic bright line definition. When we said "genre" I heard "sci fi." And when people said "What is genre?" I answered "Sci fi."
Nobody told me differently--the media fannish conversation I tried to follow seemed to run alongside without colliding.
FTR, I have also always assumed that Boxed Set = Where The Sci-Fi Lives.
Boxed Set is where I go to look for scifi (TV) talk.
