That's the thrill of living in the Hellmouth! There's a veritable cornucopia of fiends and devils and ghouls to engage ... Pardon me for finding the glass half-full.

Bureaucracy 2: Like Sartre, Only Longer  

A thread to discuss naming threads, board policy, new thread suggestions, and anything else that has to do with board administration and maintenance. Guaranteed to include lively debate and polls. Natter discouraged, but not deleted.

From Jesse "Bureaucracy 2: Like Sartre, Only Longer" Sep 4, 2003 8:56:23 am PDT

So, what ever happened with combining those couple of threads?

I was wondering the same thing, actually. So of the stuff that passed, what has been done and what still needs to be done?

Thanks, ita.

What's been done? What hasn't?

xpost: So what still needs to be done?


§ ita § - Sep 04, 2003 7:53:33 pm PDT #5057 of 10005
Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

We need to determine names for the consolidated threads, most notably.

I can change the thread name and thread slug right now.

Archiving is being worked on.

Does that cover everything?

Okay -- names/slugs changed.

So, the consolidated threads are Smallville/Due South/Farscape and what else? I thought the PPO/Bitchy Fic combo was just being called Bitchy Fic?

I have a feeling from what I've read in Due South and from what I remember here that we will be a long time coming in a name for the thread. Maybe What Else Some of Us Watch? Cause, not cutesy and to the point. But unweildy.

To be honest, I don't remember. I also don't recall the latest consensus on the Sm/DS/FS consolidation.
