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!

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

Thanks for clarifying Katie. I hope I didn't sound like I was jumping on you.

Nah. I just figure that when it comes to bureaucratic discussions clarity all-round is a good thing.

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

Good ballot.

The only part I don't like is closing them all and archiving. It makes more sense to my brain to just close and archive PPO, and perhaps change Bitchy Fic's title to Buffista Fic.

This. If we can change the name, and close and archive PPO and Anthology (?) I think it would be more sensible.

The only change I'd request is sneaking in the Ikea thread name for due South/Smallville.

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

Due South/Smallville/IKEA/Farscape sounds good to me. :)

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Due South/Smallville/IKEA/Farscape/ would be hilarious.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Why Ikea? Is there some significance to it other than it's fun to say for some people?

Of course, I'm picturing HoYaytastic natter interspersed with "So...is this where I post a question about my ELLNE desk chair?"

It's a semi-pun on "Fannish TV" which sounds like "Finnish TV" which is close enough to Swedish to remind someone (Kat? Katie?) of IKEA.

Which is just kind of stream-of-consciousness humour that appeals to me.

Well, rats. It was such a good proposal up to that point, too...

I bop to Wittgenstein. -- Nutty

Previously is an important hang out for UnAmericans, like me (it's where I first found Buffy discussion at a higher level than 'Spike iz cool' 'No, Spik suX'. I want to keep it; I'm perfectly happy to have Angel in there as well. The main Buffy thread... I don't know. Residual hang-up about spoilers, or something; plus not knowing the community there. I don't read it often, and when I do I find skipping the natter annoying. Which is odd. And rambly. Sorry.)

Plei is right-- rename Bitchy Fic (or don't: are there any PPO posters who are unhappy to be included as Bitches?) rather than opening new thread.

Edit: and while of those three, SV's the only one I'm interested in, including IKEA in the title will keep me reading the thread, I suspect.
