I had not thought my suggestion through and I have now joined the "no spoilers" club. I'm normally a spoiler whore, even for books, but this is a special occasion.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

There have to be other places to discuss the spoilers. I kinda think we need to be ok with saying that about some things brought up.

It's two sides of the same coin to me, with the low # of yes/no voters on some recent issues.

why does this site have to house a thread for every discussion 10 people will vote yes for?

yes, hyperbole.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

This is like the prologue to the Potterdammerung.

I have the Sigfried's Funeral Music on the stereo right now AIFG!!

POTTERDAMMERUNG!!

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Agree that we need to be ok saying we can't be all things to everyone, but it's hard to bring this up in practice. Everybody wants everyone else to be happy and we're getting to a tragedy of the commons here.

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

Not to interrupt perfectly good and interesting Bureau talk where I finally don't have a big dog in the fight, but what needs to happen to get the Supernatural vote going?

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

Jon does his HTML stuff and posts the link in Press.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

cass, I think it's all in place, just waiting for the appropriate time.

Also, I need to call you. Let me go do that.

Six o'clock, let's vote.

Reading in Bureau that you need to grab your phone and have it already be buzzing? I love this board. A lot.
