It sounds like really the only thread everyone would agree to drop is Buffy Spoilage Lite -- I was thinking Previously as well, but I'd forgotten the Previously-on-Angel factor.
Very convincing. Makes me completely want to put myself under government control. Please take me to where you can make me unconscious and naked.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Toss out an idea here -- keep the Previously thread for S1-S7, and use the Buffy thread to create our own S8?
Just because ME isn't making any more eps doesn't mean we can't. And there's a lot of room for interesting arcs in an S8.

Is Spoilers kept on for discussion of future plots, then, FredPete? And Spoilage Lite is for people who only want to have a hand in the casting, not in what actually happens?

Where is Angel being syndicated?

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

Spoilers is being kept open for S5 of AtS.
I forgot about AtS syndication. So I guess Previously stays, but becomes an Angel thread in the fall.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Am-Chau, hadn't thought of that. We could use Spoiler thread for thrashing out ideas, then put the result in the main Buffy thread. Or do it all on the the main thread. As JPM points out, though, AtS spoilers will still be out there.
At this point, I'm just tossing out an idea. If there's interest, either I can make a formal proposal, or it can be rolled into whatever general housekeeping may be done as a result of BtVS and Firefly not making new eps.

The spoiler thread already has a use ... I don't think both mesh.
And the habitual denizens might be a wee bit territorial.

Fred Pete, it sounds like you're talking about a fic project. Which is a great idea, but not something that I would personally put in our main threads, if only for the "It's not NICE to confuse the newbies!" factor.
That's just my reaction, though.
