What Nutty proposes works for me (but, obviously, I'm on Fay's side of this; I'm sort of assuming that people quite like reading my "Oh, wow, shiny! Isn't this wonderful?!!!1!!!" posts, which may not be correct); but I could live with Cindy's answer, if it was done *soon* (this week. Today. Tomorrow. Not long enough to take it to a proper vote).
And what's the fun in becoming an immortal demon if you're not regular, am I right?

I like the UK posts including yours Am. They make me remember loving it. I don't care about being spoiled for Firefly. I was just trying to propose something that didn't limit anyone. But I'm going to back out, because although I still read the threads, I seldom post in them.

Thanks for all the fish.
Something else to keep in mind is that Canadians will be getting the 3 unaired episodes on Space before the DVDs are released. Would we have to go to Spoilers to discuss? Are there other things being discussed in Spoilers? Movie news?

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
There is currently nothing else being discussed in Spoilers other than the unaired-in-the-US episodes. I can't imagine that there would be any spoilery movie news before Xmas, but I'm not an expert on the speed of film production.

ou know what strikes me - NAFDA was orignially North American oriented because the U.S. got the joy first. When Canada was an exception by only one day, Canada was given it's own thread to avoid spoiling people in the USA. But I think this was because of the "only one day" thing, plus Canadians are used to deferring to the U.S.
Bottom line. I think now that UK has gotten firefly and are getting ahead of USA on episodes, I think they ought to be able to discuss them in main firefly thread, and not have to go to spoilers. White fonting strikes as a reasonable compromise .

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I don't see white fonting as a compromise, mainly because it's too much the same as not whitefonting, for the volumes that will probably exist. It'll end up the same way for me ...
However, since all the cool kids (you know what I mean) will be watching the unaired eps, I have a feeling all the FF discussion will be wherever that is. So there wouldn't be anywhere for me to be anyway.

We can always discuss it in Atl. Canadians...

Oh, that's a *very* good point, Sue. Yes, we should do that.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Main thread. No whitefont.
Not an order, just my opinion.

I like the idea of keeping the unaired episodes in the spoiler thread until they come out on DVD in the U.S. That way, those that want to stay unspoiled, can.
And I'm all for the idea of not discussing or whitefonting the unaired eps in the spoiler thread until the Brits see them. It's only for a couple weeks, and I've been enjoying their enthusiasm so much!
