A thread to discuss naming threads, board policy, new thread suggestions, and anything else that has to do with board administration and maintenance. Guaranteed to include lively debate and polls. Natter discouraged, but not deleted.

What is even happening?

Shouldn't sustained discussion go in the other media thread?

Or Natter?

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

What's the rationale behind having it in Buffy? Is it because Dr. Horrible went there? I think Other Media is a more logical place for it.

Oh, look! Pretty post #.

Is Other Media not comics-specific? I always thought it was.

I could make a case for the Comedy thread since, from what I can tell, it's a comedy. It is not a TV comedy, but it's not Buffy or Angel or a comic or a game, either. So mostly I am with Jessica; Natter's blurb says it's for off-topic discussion.

Well, Other Media does have the "and more" on the slug, so it's not excluded by either the title or the slug.

Comedy is implicitly TV (or film) by virtue of being in that folder. So a case can be made against it.

OM was originally intended for all non-broadcast Jossverse efforts (comics, board game, whatever) but morphed into the general comics thread pretty quickly. (And now that Gaming is its own thing, I can't really think of any other "other media" that OM would cover. Buffyverse radio plays? Puppet shows?)

At any rate, it doesn't seem to belong in the Buffy and Angel thread.

(Their love is so pure.)

I don't have a preference, but I do think the "and more" in the OM slug might cover it. OM isn't specifically Jossverse anymore, and this is media which is other, so...

That's my pick. I suspect we started in BA because of random.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

I'm sorry, lost. What is OM?
