OK- I will work on something short. Is there any reason this is not up already, though-- my memory is failing?
I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

I think we were talking about making that part of the FAQ, or at least a link.
I just turned in my last set of confirming pages for this nightmare project.
I will turn in my proposed revision of the FAQ by the end of next week. I feel I must warn that my cuts are radical. I find much of it completely irrelevant at this point.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Yeah, why is it called cheesebutt?

I think we were talking about making that part of the FAQ, or at least a link.
I kind of figured that out once I started reading and though a) this should be part of the FAQ and b) this is really long.
I think that the "rules" should be clear and separate from the document that gives us all the history. megan, have you put this information into the FAQ already, perhaps in a less wordy form, or is it worth it for me to de-wordify it?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The cheesebutt refers to the author's ass, if memory serves.
It was never approved, if memory also serves, and it was never formatted for presentation, and it's now way out of date.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Dudes, if we've established a voting period, we established a voting period. This is why we need a cheesebutt document posted.
There's no point having a quorum if you just leave the vote open until you get it.
I'm with ita on this one, especially because there is no reason that we can't call this vote a flop and use the November schedule anyway.
I think doing that is a much better precedent than to start bending the rules all willy nilly.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I agree with ita and Perkins.
