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!

Art Crawl!!!

But where would we discuss?

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

And what Teppy said on the spoiler policy. I think it's sound.

I think OC discussion had been primarily in Natter.

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

But where would we discuss?

It's clearly well loved, so it will be discussed. Heck, go ahead and discuss it in the Ikea thread. Me no care.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

(Wouldn't The O.C. be included?)

Dunno. And now I'm all skittish because an Ikea thread looks too much like a general TV thread.

So what does that mean?

Facts:

I'd like for us to find a way to consolidate Due South/Smallville/Farscape.

Questions: Is there a way to do this without creating an overly general thread?
Is an Ikea thread specific enough?
What would it be used for and how?
Is my dehydrated brain creating contingencies for problems which don't exist and most likely won't?
And how did bo-bita and I both coincidentally wear pink today? Is that about planetary alignment?

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

Fannish TV as a name takes me right to Ikea. It goes like this in my brain:

Fannish TV. Finnish TV. Finns are near Swedes. Swedish TV. Swedish Furniture. IKEA!

Okay, if we do this I want this in the blurb.

In the ever-popular Universe Of Which I Am Queen, we would handle spoilers in a Fannish TV thread by having no future spoilers, posting allowed as soon as aired, West Coasters read at your own peril during those three hours. I'm very strongly against any kind of a whitefonting time limit.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

The OC isn't genre.

But it's got fans. (And a rudimentary fandom with fanfiction and fansites.) So is it "fannish TV" or not?

I'm really not clear on how we'd keep this from becoming, as Askye said, a junk drawer. To me, it feels like creating a General TV thread with a different name. [massive x-post]

I want Katie as my queen.

Maybe we need to call it Genre TV.

ita wore pink? Oh dear. Either msbelle is wearing black, or there is a serious imbalance in the universe. If we don't act quick, the FC (the First Chartreuse) will take advantage of this rift and try to take over the world.
