I do think The Guild fits best in Other Media... unless we want to start an Internet Media thread. ::ducks::
Could just be a hoax, though. I fake some headaches, everyone gets used to poor helpless Spike. Then one day, no warning, I snap a spine, bend a head back, drain 'em dry. Brilliant.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Actually, OM makes a lot of sense to me.
It's not TV. It is other media by virtue of being developed for the internet. If it ever gets picked up for TV, then it can always move into an appropriate thread (I don't watch it, so I've no idea where it would fit.)
It's definitely not Joss or Tim product, so it doesn't belong in either B/A or Minearverse. It doesn't sound like it's a genre show, so I reluctant to say Boxed Set. Even so, it's not TV. It's internet based. Walks like OM, talks like OM, is OM.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
If it ever gets picked up for TV, then it can always move into an appropriate thread (I don't watch it, so I've no idea where it would fit.)
It was recently picked up by (IIRC) XBox Live, and so could theoretically also go in Gaming. But I agree that OM is the best fit.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
There's no point starting a Dollhouse thread. I actually owe the people here an apology, as a few people tried to tell me it would get fucked up and I was all 'It's a huge show! It's launching with 24! It's a fall show! The network love the idea!'. Also known as 'I'm a clueless idiot!'.

So if I wanted to talk about a video on YouTube, or a podcast, or a magazine article, or something I heard on on NPR... that could go in Other Media?

Our wings are not tired
I'd think those would go in Natter.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think the point of putting the discussion in OM is because extended discussion is expected of more than one episode. Not so much the case with a magazine article or something you heard on NPR, or even most YouTube videos.

But a regular discussion of, say, This American Life on NPR, would go in OM.

Not unless it was about something touching on the Jossverse. I think this qualifies, barely, but it's not all other media.

I don't think that's correct. OM contains all comics discussion, whether Joss-lated or not.
