My only thing with a mailing list (against it I mean) is that it's easier for me (and possibly me only) to have this type of discussion on a board. Or I possibly don't understand mailing lists. Also, it's more of a commitment for anyone who might just want to lurk, or not want to read every single book.
Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

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!

Heather had me right up until Chris picked TIPY...
Michele, however, has a firm grip on her JC characterization.

TIPY is the name of the song? Huh. I'm calling it TWWTAWDGATABITF.

I have a neighbor who is a popslasher! I'm taking notes.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Preferential voting, perhaps?
You just got my vote.
Of course, I was going to vote for it anyway. Such was my preference.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I would prefer not to.
(See, it's funny, because it's a literary quote, see, and refers to preferential voting, see, and it's also Melville, who wrote Moby Dick, which was a big point of contention previously, see....
I'll stop.)

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Aww. That wasn't my preference.

Okay, Allyson here is my NSYNCified version of what JenP said:
Let's imagine for a moment that instead of a Book Club Thread, we were talking about...a Popslash Fic Round Robin Writing Thread. So instead of "genres" you have pairings. The first month, we're gonna write JC/Justin fic. Everybody throws out ideas on what story we should write for JC & Justin. So one person says they want a Coming of Age/First Love Story in Germany. And someone else says they want a present day "Justin is an evil diva" fic. And someone else says they want a "JC is a kinky motherfucker with a heart of gold, yo" fic. And Plei wants this cracked out AU where JC is Batman and Justin is the Boy Wonder and Chris is, like, Alfred or something. And ita keeps wandering around saying, "Why isn't it a Chris month yet, damnit?"
*ahem*
So after everyone's shared what they'd like to write, the field is narrowed. Plei's cracked out AU is tossed because, you know, CRACK. And everyone ignores ita because, hi, it's JC & Justin month. Which leaves us with three options. Those three options are put up at MrPoll or what have you and the slashers vote.
Most votes win. And everyone starts writing about how JC is a kinky motherfucker with a heart of gold, yo.
Next time around, it's the same thing only we're focusing on ideas for the pairing of Lance & Chris.
I think.
