Ah! Okay, thanks. Just making sure it wasn't me.

I don't know if there's a queue of proposals, but since I just saw a casting spoiler for House, it occurred to me that it might be a good time to float the idea of a Network Drama bucket thread before the gathered populace.

I'm for it, but are we still too early? Is discussing it now before premieres start nipping at our heels a good idea? Non-Fiction seems to be doing well.

We have to wait for the other proposal to be settled, Connie to propose something else.

Also, FTR, I am game to have the book club opened for Pottermania.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh yeah, I'd love the HP stuff to go into the book club thread.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Add my bull.

I think that there isn't anything else that's been waiting for an open, so you'd not be cutting in line to go next, Connie.

I agree with the cowgirl.

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

Stompies? Can we just reopen the book thread then? I think we have a full on consense.

Can we open it today?

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

Why? I think pre-book discussion has been co-existing fine with other discussion in Literary, so far.

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

Well, since we've bullshit consensed on a decision, I see no reason why not to implement that decision immediately. Especially since it's been asked for multiple times from the Stompies at this point.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Also, as noted in Literary, the book is already both on teh intarwebs and in some rare cases on the ground. I think a bit early is better than a bit late.
