How about a celebrity illness thread? You know, for those celebs who don't have their own threads, aren't sick unto death, pregnant (not, I realize, an illness) or werewolves? I saw Joey Pants on TV recently discussing his struggle with depression and couldn't figure out where to discuss it here.

Based on our ongoing, "so when I was a kid, I wrote myself into Gone With the Wind as a cowgirl" discussion here in Psychotic Fans, can we have a True Confessions thread, as big chicken suggested? It'll be just like PostSecret, except. . .not secret! And not really posted by mail.

I wasn't able to find a thread about "dance" (which is a pretty broad topic) I found this incredibly interesting article and youtube preview that is about ballet and hiphop that I think some people might want to see. And what the heck. It is culture.

I think a dance topic would be fine. I think I'd put it in the Music section - or, if you want to about Snarkers who dance, then I'd put it in the Comm section. (Although I think with the article you're talking about, I think music would be better. Yes?)

Would an NPR thread be appropriate in "Other" or somewhere else? We post a lot of items from NPR?

I'd love an NPR thread! Isn't it "multimedia," though?

That does makes sense.

Yeah, an NPR thread would go in Lit & Multimedia. I think it will be a great thread, feel free to start one.

Hi, mods ... I've been kvetching about my money woes in Blowing Off Steam, and I was wondering about having a Money Management thread.

Go for it in the community section.

Do we have a Diana Wynne Jones thread? I've been reading her books lately and wish I could discuss it with other people. Before anyone asks, I did do a search but came up empty. Unless I'm a total nutcase and completely missed it.

I think we did on the old board, but not since our shift. You can make it in the Lit & Multimedia section as "The Works of Diana Wynne Jones."

(I love her books.)

I was wondering if someone could start an Olympics thread. Maybe a separate thread to discuss just the athletes? Thanks

Hah! I was just about to request one, too.

Go ahead. Start it in the Beyond Snarkfest section, where all the other sports threads are.
