There's more than one way to skin a cat. And I happen to know that's factually true.

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!

"What kind of magical sunshine and lollipop world do you live in? Because you need to be medicated."-SFist

How about something like this?

In these 3 the header can remain the same, but the slugs should be what's apt to be discussed in the coming months:

Procedurals 1: Anything You Say Can and Will Be Used Against You.
Slug: Thread for discussion of procedural television shows, including, but not limited to, ?, ?, and ?. [NAFDA]
Header: This thread is for procedural TV, shows where the primary idea is to figure out the case.

Comedy 1: A Little Song, a Little Dance, a Little Seltzer Down Your Pants
Slug: Thread for discussion of comedy television shows, including, but not limited to, The Office, ?, and ?. [NAFDA]
Header: This thread is for comedy TV, including network and cable shows. [NAFDA]

Premium Cable: The Cursing Costs Extra
Slug: Discussions of HBO and Showtime original programming including, but not limited to ?, ?, and ?. [NAFDA]
Header: A thread for the discussion of all HBO and Showtime original programming.

These two would need some tweaking of both slug and header:

Cable Drama: Still Waiting for the Cable Guy to Show Up with the Thread Name...
Slug: Thread for the discussion of original cable drama, including, but not limited to ?, ?, ?. [NAFDA]
Header: Thread for the discussion of original cable drama--but not scifi/fantasy (that's Boxed Set!) or pay-to-play (that's Premium Cable!). Psychics, detectives, surgeons, and firemen welcome. [NAFDA]

Non-Fiction TV: I Reject Your Reality and Substitute My Own
Slug: Thread for discussion of non-fiction television, including, but not limited to, Project Runway, So You Think You Can Dance, and ?.
Header: This thread is for non-fiction TV, including but not limited to reality television, documentaries, and sundry. [NAFDA]

I’ve changed the slug to be similar to the others, but both the slug and header should probably be changed to update the shows, and maybe the genre mention:

Boxed Set, Vol. V: Just a Hint of Denial and a Dash of Retcon
Slug: Discussions of sci-fi/fantasy shows we watch, including, but not limited to, ?, ?, and ?. May contain HoYay.

Header: A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.

Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.

This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

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

The thread is closed without a proposal being put to the vote.

Further discussion is for Bureaucracy.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

We are discussing the proposal first mooted (and enthusiastically seconded) at NoiseDesign "Bureaucracy 4: Like Job. No, really, just like Job" May 29, 2009 8:51:22 pm PDT

Given the special circumstances of this proposal, the votes will be counted by the original proposer. I trust that there will be no election fraud, Mr. Design...

Nobody seems to know what to get Millie Pix or Jimmy ND for their wedding present. We're dealing with a lot of shit.

Or maybe a place setting.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

OH MY GOD this is the best image ever - a bunch of Buffistas in Prom gear on a pitcher's mound, Discussing.

Also, WHOO! Yay Pix & ND!

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I'm trying not to wear out the refresh button.

Thankfully I just got a new keyboard today. Needless to say F5 is getting more of a workout than normal.
