A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Is Jane doing Gilmore Girls, the Jesse spinoff, or both?

Were we thinking just one thread for all the 'graduates' or one per graduate?

I like the idea of starting with just the one thread, spinning it out if specific shows take over the thread.

Quesion -- what will the spoiler rules be? It would be irritating if we had to whitefont pretty much every discussion.

Once everyone sees the finale, there's no need for more than one general Buffy (not General Buffy) thread. I kind of hate to see it all called Previously because of the idea that fiction lives on, and when you refer to a book, you alway say, "the author writes" not "wrote". I'd just like to see it carry on the NAFDA numbering, too, because I'm HAVING A HARD TIME DEALING WITH LETTING GO. *cough*

Plei's right about the hard-core spoilers thread; we won't get rid of that, as long as Angel lives. We'll just change the name. I have no preference as to whether we get rid of the BtVS quote thread or not, but we probably should think about it.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Is Jane doing Gilmore Girls, the Jesse spinoff, or both?

Both.

I think that if it has aired, we shouldn't need to white-font. It'll get too complicated otherwise.

t edit Thanks Allyson.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Yes a Graduate NAFDA thread with no whitefonting.

Another problem is that this could end up being a general teevee thread, and I believe there was great resistance to that.

Eh. I'm neutral on the idea of a general TV thread, but a "we can have threads for TV shows if ME people work on them or there's HoYay! involved" policy strikes me as unfair. ISTM that about as many Buffistas watch Alias as watch Gilmore Girls -- why should it be okay to discuss one here and not the other? (And what if Jane moves on midseason? Would we have to close the thread?)

Also, what about actors' projects, like the new Eliza Dushku series? Okay to discuss, or no?

Depending on the US and Canadian broadcast schedules for Angel (may it air forever, or at least a couple of more seasons), we might be able to close Atlantic Canadian Monday Madness, too.

Trying again. Up for closure/merger into one general Buffy thread are:

  • Spoilage Lite: Buffy
  • Buffy NAFDA
  • Previously

Also potentially on that list are:

  • Atlantic Canadian Monday Madness (depending on A:ts scheduling)
  • Quotable Buffy

QUESTION: Do Un-Am's want to keep the Firefly spoilers thread? It seems to me they could use the NAFDA thread when they want to discuss spoilers. Do NAFDA types need it until the DVDs come out, to discuss unaired episodes?

Eh. I don't especially want a general TV thread,but I'm not crazy about the diea of having a "we can have threads for TV shows if ME people work on them or there's HoYay! involved" policy.

I don't know, some of those threads were grandfathered in, from back in the days of WX. We haven't had a new thread for, say, Fastlane or Stargate, just because they have a lot of watchers (well, Stargate does) and a lot of HoYay!--they're just discussed in the DS:MFA thread, where the excess HoYay! from Smallville spilled over.

I think that it does make sense, with the MEverse winding down, and many of us very writer fixated, to have a thread to track those writers, and what they're up to.
