Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That's weird, and I have no idea why that would happen. I don't think there have been other problems.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

okay, I just sent it. I think I had a typo (believe it or not) before.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

What are the white-fonting rules for the Un-American thread? The description says any non-American, but specifically mentions Australia. That wasn't supposed to be just for the Australians, was it?

Here's the description:

Discussion of episodes currently airing in Un-American locations (anything that's aired in Australia is fair game), as well as anything else the Un-Americans feel like talking about or we feel like asking them. Please use the show discussion threads for any current-season discussion.

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

We needed to draw a line, and Australia was where we picked.

It doesn't apply so much with Buffy and Angel off the air, but it's never been officially changed, so if the people whitefonting have no problem, I figure it can stay...or be voted on, I guess.

So Australia is the rule, not an example? That's cool by me. I just wasn't sure how to interpret the description.

Yep, it was picked as the rule.

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

I think at the time, Australia had the most Buffistas waiting the longest to get Buffy & Angel. (Not that we counted or anything scientific like that - it was a consensus based on a hunch that by the time something had aired in Australia everyone else had probably already seen it.)
