Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Anyone have a premium LinkedIn account?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Annalee replied to my email saying she'd corrected the idea that Fast Eddie et al were original members. So I went back to look at the article and I still disagree with it, but I'm letting it go.
I do notice it's actually got a link back here. Did it always have a link back here?

I knew I would find folks talking about Gus in here. ::dusts off a chair and plonks down::
Hec, thanks for emailing Annalee. I've met her once, but I'm sure correction would come better from you anyway. I'd love to know who this Fast Eddie chap is, claiming he was a TTer and helped found the board. Pffft.
And damn, now I'm reading the Bureaucracy thread.

I jumped to the end of Natter (way behind), and now I'm reading the last 200 or so posts to catch up, because:
It was just "Gus" although I know that Sean and I were also admins there when it started up.
Yep. Plei and I were among the original mods over there.

I wonder if any of my original entries are still up over there.

I remember posting entries on TVTropes too, when it first started. It was very strange when it became this HUGE thing that took over the internet.

Yeah, this paragraph is still not true:
"Every time something came up about TV in a Salon story, there was this group that would go on these rampages about Buffy. Eventually we moved our community away so as not to bug everybody." That group, which included the TV Tropes cofounders, migrated to Buffistas, a site where people could discuss the show to their heart's content.
Hmmph.
But I'm letting it go, I swear. Because it's board drama, and has nothing to do with what tvtropes provides to the net at large.
Oh, but it was such board drama. It is hard to let go. Was Gus hiding a Fast Eddie this whole time, starting up the board in what he claimed was his house, but it was really Eddie? That's the version with the least lying in it, right? It's just all so confusing.
Annalee did point out I could go over to tvtropes and just ask Fast Eddie who the hell he was (so not her words).
