Woot.
Just cause I really wasn't in the mood to revisit all the decisions we made last fall...
Spike: Ladies. Come on in. Plenty of blood in the fridge, don't be shy. Dawn: You mean like, real blood? Spike: What do you think? Dawn: Mostly I think, 'Eew!'

OK. As far as I can tell, we have dealt with all the process type stuff we need to deal with. Go team us! Now we can vote on the sorts of things we always intended the process to be used for. (I'm sentence-ending-preposition-guy this morning.) Like thread creation.
Allyson's "All Tim, All The Time" thread got the requisite secondses, yes? Here's the thing -- I'm leaving for L.A. tomorrow, and will be gray while I'm there. Unless, the ballot language is finalized today (which I don't think is fair to Allyson), I'll need someone to set up the ballot. ita? Any other stompies with basic html knowledge?

Our wings are not tired.
Overnight I received another 5 votes so I have adjusted the totals to allow for slackers inclusion of those who may have been impeded by slow mail servers.
Vote results follow:
Total votes cast: 72
Total Yes: 52

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Any other stompies with basic html knowledge?
Jon, send me the template, and let me know what to do.
edit: Although to be honest, might it not be better to hold off until after the F2F? There really is no rush.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I was about to say that since I'm not F2Fing, you can send it to me, but then I remembered that F2F is next weekend, not this....
Anyway, I agree with DX that we might want to wait until afterwards. Seems like people are already starting to drift off LA-wards, and I'd hate for them to miss it.

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

I think it's purely Allyson's call .. and we've put it off a long time already.

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
Proposal: To add a new thread dedicated to the works of Tim Minear. The purpose of the thread will be to discuss past, present, and future series and episodes, and also to honor one of our own. Suggestions for thread title can be discussed in Bureaucracy if the proposed thread passes.
