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.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
How will we decide which month?
Preferential voting.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
I'd say October by default.

Because books.
I was going to say January -- post-holiday blahs and boredom, new year, etc.

I like October. It's a nice low key month when it's not the holidays, not just getting over the holidays, not just getting back into school, not during the summer doldrums, etc, all the things that distract people from posting or following along. And sort of a lead in to the holiday (and television!) season, so a good time for people to dive in.
And also because it's now!
Amy - Sep 24, 2009 5:55:18 am PDT #9353 of 10289
Because books.
And also because it's now!
That's what I was thinking when you both said October!

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
Could you put the month in your proposal, ita?

Official wording so far:
I propose October as an annual delurking and locating thread where everyone is encouraged to stop by, lurkers and regular posters alike, and say a little bit about themselves so we can learn about the people we don't post with, or the people who read but don't post. Also, people are encouraged in that month to enter or update the location field in their profile, with the note that they can be as vague as their country or as specific as their street address, with the options inbetween of state, province, zip code, city, and the like--whatever feels comfortable.
