I don't fancy spending the next month trying to get librarian out of the carpet.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

But who gets/has to kiss Spike?

I didn't want to put Dollhouse stuff in Minearverse, is all

I agree. I'd rather not automatically put it in Boxed Set either. To me, both those threads have distinct cultures and communties. I can't say whether it should have its own thread right off, but I feel somehow that a Joss show should be more available than that. If that makes sense.

I'd like to see it in its own thread and to see it created soon cause I want to know what all is going on with it. SO EXCITED!!!

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

I'm of the school that it doesn't warrant its own thread right off the bat, and if it doesn't, Boxed Set is where it lands.

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

I'm of the school that it doesn't warrant its own thread right off the bat, and if it doesn't, Boxed Set is where it lands.

I'm of the other school ("Your Kung Fu is weak!" "How dare you insult my master!") and I think that a Joss show will inevitably draw enough local interest to sustain a thread. Also, with GC I think it's good to get it going now to have a place to speculate and chatter about it.

My finger is itchy to put forth the actual proposal but I will hold off a bit to allow some counter arguments if anybody wants to dissuade me.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I can barely think of it as a show at this point. I can't comprehend there being another actual addition to the Joss Whedon oeuvre. How will it fit in my brain?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

do we know an airing date?

FWIW, I don't care one way or the other about a thread, I am thinking that we may have a few dozen carts out in front of the lone horse.

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

I think it should have it's own thread, but I don't think the thread should be opened until the show at least has a scheduled premiere date or when promos begin airing.

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

I'm of the school that it doesn't warrant its own thread right off the bat, and if it doesn't, Boxed Set is where it lands.

This.
