A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

I like "Maybe the even years are better."

Seconded.

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

Done.

All is well that ends in pizza.

So whereinthehell do we discuss "Sherlock" now that it's back?

White font in procedurals?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Is it airing in Britain and not here? Then I'd say Unamerican, right?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Unam.

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

Right now guest star information is considered spoilery even if there is no character information conveyed in it.

I don't know how this came to be designated a spoiler. Does anyone have background for that? James Marsters showing up on Angel is one thing, but showing up on Torchwood for the first time something entirely different. I don't think it should be whitefont mandatory, and with the upswing in portable devices, it gets more complicated to read spoiler-fonted information.

So I'd like to be sure that what's mandated to be spoiler fonted really is considered sensitive by people, especially in a NAFDA thread.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

Sometimes knowing the guest star conveys the character information, even if it's not a big name. I spoiled by accident once by saying that someone was going to be on a show that I had recently started watching, and it turns out that the guest star had been on the show before and mentioning him let others know that the character would be back.

So, you never know when you're going to spoil, and I think that our philosophy is better safe than spoiled.
