No, I think GB&GR would close March 31st and any remaining thanks for pitch hitters could go in beep me.
Bye, now. Have good sex.

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!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Oh. Hm. That idea troubles me, but I'm going to have to think about it for a bit to figure out why.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Should the pinch hitting plan kick in a week or two before the thread closes, so that it can be organized in thread?

Because books.
Well, everyone could still use GB&GR to post about their year, and a lot of people do long before they're gifted -- and some people don't participate, anyway. It still feels a little weird to me, too, and possibly not the best use of Beep Me.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
If nothing else, I think it points up late gifts more than the giver might like.
FTR, I think thank you notes via email would be fine.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I would rather not involve Beep me in this plan, however it works out. Using Beep me for things that could be cross posted or posted elsewhere except for a time limit doesn't seem right.

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
Just so I have this clear in my mind, at the end of March if anyone remains ungifted, Goodbye and Good Riddance would remain open for another month for the round of pinch-gifting (which would go on until the end of April?)
I like this. I think the threat of thread closing on 3/31 will be a bigger spur to people than a less formal "get your pinch hit requests in now" process a few weeks earlier, and keeping the thread for one more month wouldn't be too onerous. (And if a month isn't long enough to get your pinch hit gift out, don't volunteer.)

Could we move it back instead? Make the end of February the pinch hit deadline and close the thread at the end of March?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

This sounds good to me.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
