I am so never going to be able to open that thread on my work computer...
I'm just waiting to see if I pass out. Long story.

About the voting -- what happens now? The ballot link gets posted in Press? I can't remember.

I know discussion is closed on this, I just want to clarify something - does "announcements" still mean the same thing as the Annual Upfront Presentations even though we're not specifically using that term anymore? Or does that encompass more?
Steph, when Jon B has the ballot ready he'll post a link in Press and Lightbulb. Probably later tonight, I'd guess.

Our wings are not tired.
Jon puts up the form, ita directs the mail. Let the voting begin (and end which will be nice). At least I think that is the way it happens.

brenda - I'm not certain. I suggested the language, because Jim needed a definition of the upfronts. But, since what both are announcing is off-season changes (additions to and departures from) the cast of major, regular, title credit characters, does it matter?
I mean, if at the Upfronts, they said Seth Green was joining A:ts as a regular for the upcoming season, and a week later, they said Nick Brendon was joining A:ts as a regular for the upcoming season, would it matter? (That's a sincere question, not a scolding, btw.)
It seems to me, this boils down to whether or not we can approach a new season, acknowledging who makes up the man cast of a given series, right?

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
I will upload the ballot late this afternoon, board time. For simplicity, let's say voting will end Friday night at Midnight? That's just over the standard three day period.
I liked the "Upfront" language because it was specific. I was intending to add a sentence or two below the proposal explaining what the Upfronts were. But I can go either way.

This seems to me, to be the phrasing that tells what is and isn't allowable per Jim's proposal:
This only includes cast additions or departures that occur over summer hiatus only (not midseason) . Any plot points related to the character's (not the actor's) arrival or departure are to be treated as spoilers. The Main Cast are those characters who appear in the opening credits."
In other words
- Main Cast only
- Only changes that occur during the summer hiatus
- No plot points are allowed
Oh also, although it's not in the bit I excerpted above - in the proposal there is the bit about it being thread-show specific. So you can only talk about the Angel main cast in the Angel thread, not in Bitches, not in Buffy, not in Firefly, etc.
