Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Does anyone know how to combine cafepress links? Our link ( [link] is broken, because putting the commas between the stores doesn't seem to work anymore, but it looks like each store still works.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
So in Bitches the other day, I had an idea - to have a thread, and/or some other place, to collect the good advice we Buffistas give each other. I'm kinda thinking it could be sort of like the funny stuff in COMM(A) and the BRQG, only instead of accessing it randomly, we could have some kind of index. It was suggested that we could make de facto tags to make such a thread more easily searched by topic by including something like !dogs or !prescription meds. Or perhaps someone (me, I suppose) would collect and index it elsewhere. How huge a PITA would it be to do, do you think? And also, how many people would think it a good resource?

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
Sounds like a really good idea.

How about a wiki?

Our wings are not tired.
I like it. I often Mark posts I find useful, but then forget I have them marked. No clue what the best way to do it would be.

I've considered a wiki. My hurdle was the idea of duplicate authentication mechanisms. If someone is willing to recommend a package where it's easy to swap that out, or someone is willing to do the work to put B.org authentication into an existing package, I think it's a great idea.
Two separate authentication mechanisms is a nightmare.
I think a thread seems a good idea at first blush, and then I realised I need to get YA SFF recs for an 11 year old and I can't even work out how to search the thread we've got for that...11? Eleven? Fantasy? YA? Juvenile? Young adult? Our search engine only does 4 characters and longer.
Are you going to want to take the advice out of where it happens organically and put it into a thread, or COMM it and discussions there? I prefer the idea of maintainable articles, myself. Because an index isn't very searchable, and searchability is key. Plurality of search terms.
Just the authentication thing. It should be Buffista only, at least for edits.
