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!

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

Serpentine! Serpentine!

No other candidate is asking the hard questions, like "Did geophysicists assassinate Jim Henson?" or "Why is there hydrogen in America's water supply?" --defective yeti

3. The Previously thread will either be closed and an Angel previously thread opened or the current one will be repurposed for Angel. (open to a conversation on the merits of closing a current thread and opening a new one that does the same thing, or renaming a current thread with a new functionality. . .I am without preference.)

I agree with Liese S. It would work better for archiving and reference if we closed Previously on Buffy and created a new Previously on Angel.

Tech type people, does it matter if we close all of the threads we are consolidating and then open another thread? Is there a resource type reason not to do that?

Cause it would make archiving stuff more sensemaking.

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

Minimal impact on resources, and in the long run better for when the thread can be moved right to archives.

Okey. Then, as of now, that's what will happen until someone else sways me otherwise. I'll change it in the proposal.

Nobody

Did I mention easily swayed? Of course it can. Maybe even "adorable fluffy bo-bita, who loves bunnies as cute little pets and not dinner."

This. With the SMG-like punching addition.

t confident - because she is moving and nobody has new address

Kristen - tell me more stories about Monique and Spike. I always suspected Allyson was on acid, but that was a good one, too.

Okey. Then, as of now, that's what will happen until someone else sways me otherwise. I'll change it in the proposal.

This all sounds good, Kat.

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 my sense of things too.

I thought the "anthology project" thread was more about writing/publishing pr0n, but it's pretty dormant. Could the discussions there be combined in with either Bitchy Fic/PPO or the Great Write Way thread?

Also, are there any shows that Atlantic Canadians will still get earlier next fall? If not, could the social aspect of the thread be maintained in Un-Americans?

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

The Canadian thread is a separate community from Unamericans.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

So then maybe an Angel quotables thread since there would actually be new episodes,

There already is an Angel quotable thread, though it hasn't seen any action in quite a while (it's buried after some closed threads, actually).

Thanks, Jon. I know that's been the argument against closing it in the past -- I just wanted to see if it was still important, if there's no longer a practical reason for the thread, as there was when the Canadians got Buffy earlier.

But it and UnAmerican are both pretty active, so consolidating them might not make sense anyhow.
