I've seen some masterful whitefont, where the poster managed to leave behind complete sentences with a completely different meaning to what the full sentences read.
I wish I were that good.
Mal: Yeah, well, just be careful. We cheated Badger out of good money to buy that frippery, and you're supposed to make me look respectable. Kaylee: Yes, sir, Captain Tightpants.

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!

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

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
ita, you are a master of the teasing whitefont. The kind one can't help but highlight (even when it's a show one knows nothing about).

ita could probably be that good if she wanted. She is so smart, it is scary.

Our wings are not tired.
That's not wrong.

Up with the sun
Based on the feedback I've gotten, I am tabling the proposal for one week. When/if I bring it back, it will be about starting specific threads for specific shows.
During that week, I would like to conduct a poll to see which shows we really are most interested in discussing. Because the poll will be nonbinding, I would like to include as many shows as possible, and discuss combining shows into single threads after we know the results. Voters will pick their top three ("no new threads" will be one option) in rank order, because I agree this is a good way to try preferential voting. The show or shows with the most points will move on to the actual ballot.
What I need help with is deciding which shows to include. My preliminary list would be Lost, Gilmore Girls, Joan of Arcadia, Survivor, Alias, Jack & Bobby, Dead Like Me, 24, Veronica Mars, The Daily Show, The OC and The Amazing Race. What else needs to be on the list?
ETA; This post will be updated to reflect suggestions.

Veronica Mars? The Daily Show? 24?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Maybe Veronica Mars, if it survives until then.
x-post, of course.

I second the "24" suggestion (which is slated to start in January)

Veronica Mars and 24 are added.
My problem with starting a thread for The Daily Show would be that it would be hard to keep it from turning into a political thread, and we've voted that down. On the other hand, I do want this to be an inclusive list, so maybe I should just add it and see how people feel.
I would add nip/tuck, but the season is over. Ditto Six Feet Under.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara
I can't think of any you haven't included.
