Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

How about using the lj Buffistas community for Spoilers lite?

Please, no -- That's got a pretty clearly defined role as a "we've got an outage, moving to PF" message board. And anyway, there are a hell of a lot of 'ffistas who don't LJ.

Art Crawl!!!

Well, I don't think that the lj community was meant to be announcements only.

Most of the minor spoilers are announcementy - - episode titles, writers, that sort of thing.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

I liked the Southscapeville-SGI suggestion, but would understand if that made it look too general.

Or Smallsouthscape-SGI for alliterative value.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

We're looking, then, for names to:

* Due South/Smallville/Farscape

South SmallScape?

"South SmallScape: Discuss the pretty"

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

I'm afraid I don't understand the "IKEA" reference. Would somebody summarize or Nilly the discussion for me? Thanks.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, for the record, I don't like thread titles that are incomprehensible to the casual reader. An in-joke in the subtitle is a little better, but it ought to be clear to all what the thread is about.

Thrive to spite them

I'm really not happy with the vote to combine SV/DS/FS. I'd like to say that up front. Slash is a big part of what is discussed in both SV and DS threads and now that doesn't even get a mention in the slug because of Farscape.

I've forgotten--or never knew--the Ikea referrence, too.

Ikea thread, from Kat "Voting Discussion: We're Screwing In Light Bulbs AIFG!" Aug 20, 2003 10:08:04 am PDT:

Fannish TV as a name takes me right to Ikea. It goes like this in my brain:

Fannish TV. Finnish TV. Finns are near Swedes. Swedish TV. Swedish Furniture. IKEA!
