Voting Discussion: We're Screwing In Light Bulbs AIFG!  

Site Administration

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!

"Don't think of yourself as an organic pain collector racing towards oblivion." Dogbert to Dilbert

And I think Jeff is saying that he's looking forward to having his name verbified to something that's not an insult, but I defer to him of course.

Sorry about the confusion. Yes, this is what I was trying to say.

It's pronounced Mu-HEE-uh. Mexican origin.

Our wings are not tired.

Thank you! I really prefer to read with proper pronunciation. (Also, easier to say than the odd pronunciation my mind was using)

A fellow makes himself conspicuous when he throws soft-boiled eggs at the electric fan.

That's 1) or 2), erinaceous? I doubt any of my posts'd be long enough to qualify, but I am 2) and not 1).

Yep, 1 OR 2. And the corpus is supposed to cover American and North American English, both. I'm not sure if they're tagging Canadian material, or just hoping it will sort itself out ... poor Canadians, they're always caught between the Brits and the Yanks ...

Anyway, this will all be marked "online", so it's not as cut-and-dried as it would be if I were soliciting published novels ...

So, do UnAms vote?

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

I'd say yes. The board is "owned" by ALL its users. Everyone should have a say, even if not everyone's posts will be used.

Yes, please, the unAms should vote! Nobody should be disenfranchised just because they put extra 'u's in things.

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

Just make sure you don't use a butterfly ballot.

with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi

Isn't the Fan Fiction thread for *discussion* of fanfiction, rather than posting of it? You should be able to use that thread, if not either of the workshop threads then, no?

Other than that, I love this idea.

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

Quotes would have to be stripped, since fic is quoted there (in smaller amounts than the workshop threads, natch).

Quotes are being stripped, right? I'm not sure if most of the snippets in thread are using the caret for demarcation.
