They should film that story and show it every Christmas.

Isn't it likelier that we'll be discussing it in Minearverse, since Tim will be working on it?

Err, isn't Dollhouse Joss? So wouldn't that be like, I dunno, a separate Joss thread? But I certainly wouldn't want to open it until the show actually was going to air.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

How soon after Firefly started did it get it's own thread? Was it voted on? Before this discussion started, I thought that a Joss show would automatically get it's own thread once the show started.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

"The Train Job" aired on Sept. 20, and the label on the archive for Firefly 1 says it began on Sept. 17.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Joss threads have been automatic around here as best I recall.

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

Joss threads have been automatic around here as best I recall.

Aren't we kinda in the singular there? Angel being pre "around here."

Swouncing

We had Firefly thread on WX starting on May 15 2002, so several months before the show started.

Having said that, I'm still with the "build the bridge only when you're near the actual water, and then merrily cross it" or whatever way I can mix some more metaphors there that look like taking a hike outside.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

There should be a clue as to the status of DH in May, as it happens.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

"The Train Job" aired on Sept. 20, and the label on the archive for Firefly 1 says it began on Sept. 17.

Sept. 17 is when b.org opened for business, so there have been NO Joss auto-threads.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Right - Firefly was a holdover from WX.

Uh oh. I'm sensing another "where do we go from here" discussion in the works.
