Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

The Firefly movie.

If we name a thread after someone (not just an instance, but the whole thing) do they get to rule it? Could he make us do terrible, terrible things? Is there chocolate cake in the cafeteria?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Allyson: here's the Slashdot story.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Is there chocolate cake in the cafeteria?

I think it's raisins.

The board's a co-op. For better or worse, we da ppl roolz!

He's a smart cookie, he'll go where the discussion goes.

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

Rassenfrassen ferrets.

Is there a problem with Wonderfalls talk being in the Minearverse?

It is a NAFDA thread. I don't really care either way, I think the main problem is just organizing things neatly.

This is my thought too. That, and people who don't know about the Minearverse thread not knowing where to discuss Wonderfalls. I don't want a new thread, but I do think changing the subtitle to something Falls-specific and posting a notice in press as to where show discussion goes might be good ideas.

Or, you know, we could not.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I know we had some discussion about this way back when, but I don't remember and don't want to go back to look.

My thought is that I'd prefer to keep the number of threads that Tim has to keep track of to a minimum. So I'd say keep it in Minearverse on that basis alone. Otherwise I'm good with whatever we do.

Keep it in Minearverse and change some of the slug to provide clearer directions?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Something along the lines of "... the collective works of Tim Minear (i.e. Wonderfalls)..."

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara

I wonder wonder why the wonder falls....

I'm all for a new slug--that way if things get off topic (and when don't they?) they will still be on topic.
