I'm for this.

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.

There's been a spurt in new registrations the last 24 hours (6 users or so). Have we been namechecked somewhere?

Firefly movie confirmation may have attracted people to look for new Firefly threads. I wouldn't be very surprised if that caused a few new registrations.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
1. In the PPO/Bitchy Fic consolidation combine and rename to Bitchy Fic.
I think the original plan was that Bitchy Fic would continue as the combined thread (to provide continuity for any multi-part fics), and that we would close the other two and fold them into Bitchy Fic. So we close PPO and Pornanthology, and change the slug and description of Bitchy Fic to reflect that.

I thought the PPO/Bitchy Fic combo was just being called Bitchy Fic?
I thought we had said we'd rename Bitchy fic Buffista Fic to reflect the less Spikecentric focus. That would be my preference, but not an extremely strong one.
Thanks for the list, ita.

I remember this as what Plei suggested, but am too lazy to threadsuck and confirm.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm for taking a bit of the Bitch out, too.

Okay, so closing PPO/Anthology and renaming Bitchy Fic to Buffista Fic sounds good to me.
And DS/FS/SV?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
DS/FS/SV?
I'd try to post a last nudge in those threads and get the inhabitants to weigh in. Someone who is not currently working on the FAQ (i.e., not me) could page back and gather the most popular suggestions proposed.

FS/SV/DS -- We were playing around with
Boxed Set: ______.
(2nd thread to be called Boxed Set Vol. 2: _____.) The first Boxed Set subtitle was going to be something like "Farscape, Smallville, Due South, Yay!" and then a slug involving the phrase "TV Fandom", or vice versa.
And it taught me the word "passim." (I thought Nilly said it meant bubblewrap! :)
Passim = Latin, I think. It means "and this other stuff I am too tired to point out specifically, but is right near that other stuff I already pointed out". Mostly, in the Lawspeak, I did it to reference conversations that had hashed out an idea, but the idea had not been restated by a single person.
There are links to (all but the recent) vote outcomes in the Lawspeak now. (I think they're to the Press announcement.)
