I'm not sure Farscape belongs with the other two; Due South and Smallville could become the Hoyay thread easily enough, but I think Farscape is a distinct cause.

Betsy, I'm not sure either. But someone mentioned it in here earlier like that.

Also, what about the fic threads? Consolidate or not? In what manner? Any ideas?

Quick question -

It's not the number of threads, per se, it's the number of posts, right? So 2 threads with 10 posts per hour would use as much resorces as 1 thread with 20 posts per hour? So is there really much benefit to consolidating threads?

I would also sugest that, for archiving and searching purposes, it might make more sense to close threads then re-open the newly purposed threads than change the names of existing threads.

Yes.

The general consensus from the Farscape peeps that have spoken is that they are okay with it becoming a sci-fi TV show thread, though that's not really a housecleaning issue as it stands.

I think the voting on this issue will likely be unanimous (well, except for one vote, maybe...)

I could agree with their being a general HoYay Thread with Due South and all the shows that get discussed there (Due South, Highlander, Stargate) as well as Smallville, but I don't think Farscape really fits in.

Bitchy Fic and PPO could be combined, I think, since Bitchy Fic has different types of Buffista written fanfic that isn't Smallville or BtVS or Angel.

However Fanfiction is a discussion thread and not where actual works in progress are posted and I'd like that to be kept seperate. I have a hard time keeping up with Bitchy Fic, I try, but it's nice to know I can go to Fanfiction and find discussion about Fanfic trends or find recommendations and things like that.

This is where I read earlier today about combining Smallville, Due South, and Farscape: Consuela "Bureaucracy 2: Like Sartre, Only Longer" Aug 19, 2003 9:25:28 am PDT Again, I'm not wedded to the idea of having Farscape in the group.

askye, can you help me with the fanfic stuff

Edited to say I found Cindy's post.

Ne'ermind, askye.

Found it:

The Great Write Way (original fiction)
Fan Fiction: Writers, Readers, and Enablers
Bitchy Fic: It Could Be Plot Bunnies
Spike's Bitches Anthology Project
PPO (Smallville Fan Fiction)

Could we combine:
Bitchy Fic: It Could Be Plot Bunnies
Spike's Bitches Anthology Project
PPO (Smallville Fan Fiction)?

oops. sorry.

There is some evidence that threads are like counter space. No matter how much you have, it will all get covered with stuff. Whenever we've added a thread, traffic has increased. We don't know for sure that the converse is true, but it's worth trying.

The Fanfiction Threads are:

Bitchy Fic: It Could be Plot Bunnies (a fanfiction workshop). This started out as BtVS/Angel fanfiction only, an offshoot when Spike's Bitches was really mostly about Spike. This is where the actual stories are posted.

Fanfiction:Writers, Readers, and Enablers (discussion) this is discussion of fanfiction in any fandom and trends in fandom things like this, also links to stories. But no actual fiction is posted here, it's just for talking about it, mostly non Buffista written any fandom fanficiton.

PPO (formerly Pansexual Prettyboy Orgy) this is the Smallville Fanfiction Thread. Smallville Fanfiction written by Buffistas is posted here, I'm not sure how active it is since I don't watch Smallville anymore.

Can it be "adorable fluffy bo-bita"?
