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!

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I would like to request that it be previously on Buffy and Angel, but whatever the majority says.

I am still not sure that I understand why. Would you like this instead of a separate Buffy thread? And if you would like both a separate Buffy thread to discuss past Buffy episodes and a Buffy and Angel Previously thread to discuss past Buffy and Angel episodes, could you explain why? I am not trying to be dense here, I just want to know why to see if I agree.

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

I think, because Previously is already purposed to handle Buffy (and Angel) discussion about already-aired Buffy episodes, we don't need a Buffy thread. Which, okay, this is originally a Buffy board, and I can understand the desire to always have a Buffy thread. But I'm looking at what the original purpose of the thread was, and I don't see the need to repurpose or do away with it if it still serves it's purpose.

Also, some of the best and most intense discussion about past individual episodes has taken place in that thread. From what I've seen, also, different kinds of discussion takes place in the Buffy thread versus the Previously thread. Buffy thread takes on an overall analysis, where Previously often looks at individual older episodes. Not that either discussion hasn't taken place in either thread, but...there's a different feel. And I'd hate to lose that.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I propose some stompy change ita's name to "ita-bobita: fluffy bunny w/mouse punches" and then mess with some code so she has to figure out how to change it back and starts attacking fellow stompies in devious ways.

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

I'm quite flattered that y'all think I'm so mature and well-balanced that I'd handle it without rampant destruction.

I have no idea whose posts you've been reading, though.

Thrive to spite them

I'm not sure what to do about Great Write Way, I forgot about that. I think it should be kept seperate.

The discussion there has been discussion and posting on original work, aspects of publishing original fiction and that sort of thing, which is very different than fanfiction. Although it's a fiction thread it's a different type of fiction and I think it should stay seperate from fanficition.

It also houses poetry, ifI remember correctly. Very different atmosphere from the fanfiction threads.

I agree that Great Write Way should be kept separate.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

SA, I personally don't see why repurposing Previously to an Angel thread would suddenly make it verbotten to bring up a Buffy episode for discussion. But maybe that's just me & my liberal sense of thread drift.

Nobody

Kat - rather than renaming the Buffy/Angel spoilers thread, perhaps we should close it, and open a new Angel Spoilers thread, instead, for the same archiving issues everyone mentioned during the repurpose vs. close discussions for other threads.

I've mentioned this in the spoilers thread. There have been no objections, and I don't see any coming, but I only posted about it this morning, and could be wrong. I said (there) that if anyone knows of a reason it's not a good idea, to pop in and mention it here.

I didn't say it would be verbotten--but why does the title have to be specifically for Angel? Why can't it be both Buffy and Angel?
