Voting Discussion: We're Screwing In Light Bulbs AIFG!
We open it up, we talks the talk, we votes, we shuts it down. This thread is to free up Bureaucracy for daily details as we hammer out the Big Issues towards a vote. Open only when a proposal has been made and seconded according to Buffista policy (Which we voted on!). If this thread is closed, hie thee to Bureaucracy instead!
OK - One definite yo (as in yes) for a Tim thread. Other ME alumni - maybe they'll end up here, maybe elsewhere - that will shake down on its own.
But as far as I'm concerened, Tim is
Gabba Gabba Hey One Of Us
and since he's not going to be an Angel factor this year (x-fingers for what he wants - no jinxing here), he deserves it.
Correct me if I'm wrong - but isn't Allyson Fury's "bitch"? And she's in here pushing hardcore for Tim? May not be logical, but it adds to my argument pro in my own head.
Edited because it's late and I'm a bit lit.

Yes. Love him verra much. He's not a Buffista, and has a very different body of work. Doesn't have his own show, and current plans are between him, his agent, and the morsels he tosses me, from time to time.
I hope that there will be enough support for a Fury thread, someday. He's my Big Daddy, yo.
Allyson, please confirm that's OK.
Confirmed. I need to rework the ballot tonight with a start date and such.
Fury IS a big burly bear o' fun. But I get the Tim thing totally. Whether he never comes and posts again, he's a Buffista as sure as anyone else who ever contirbuted significantly.
deleted because it doesn't really go here
Revised to include the date of the thread.
Proposal: To add a new thread dedicated to the works of Tim Minear.
The purpose of the thread will be to discuss past, present, and future series and episodes, and also to honor one of our own. Suggestions for thread title can be discussed in Bureaucracy if the proposed thread passes.
If the proposed thread passes, it will be added to the Phoenix the first week of August 2003, at the convenience of the sexiest Stompy.
If he hadn't left Angel, his stuff would have mostly just fallen in there.
Okay - WHAT?!? Tim's left
Angel? Damn, I really am far behind in the Angel thread.
It seems to me that you're saying you want the thread, but only if other people want it for the same reasons you do, which I feel is a bit unfair.
Well, yeah, when you put it that way. If I wanted everyone to agree with me on what the thread should be like simply because I'm egotistical, sure. But persuading everyone else to come more in line with one's opinion on matters up for voting is the entire point of this thread, yes?
Anyway, I'm feeling much less conflicted about the matter than I was earlier. Some reassurances and sensible arguments later, I think it ought to pass. I do agree that it would probably be best to wait until August or September to create it, though.
Do we have a votecounter?
And can someone remind the feeble-memoried (me) when the vote starts?
Sophia's counting, at addy: ntlr at mail dot rochester dot edu
Voting starts tonight.
I think.
Ta muchly. E-mail address is pointed in the correct direction, Allyson's exact wording used ...
Skimming back through the last discussion, it looks like there was some debate on when the voting starts. The discussion opened May 23, 2003 10:08:18 am EDT which means voting isn't starting before May 27, 2003 10:08:18 am EDT, right? And that tradition has it going up at midnight EDT, which would be end of day Tuesday ... am I consistent and sense-making?
