The biggest one of those changes is going to be that characters that have died are now able to return (at least for now, probably permanently.) There have been people in the past few months that have expressed interest in Doyle and Cordelia, and I've contacted them to see if they are still interested in coming in next week. We also have a hold on Faith which will be expiring on the next week change, so hopefully we will be regaining a Faith soon.
Week Change will come next Monday, to give everyone enough time to recover from the holiday delay and get back into the swing of things. The Thanksgiving thread is now closed to new entrants; I highly encourage you to take the rest of the week and finish up your threads in the group post.
If you're interested, Logo is airing "The Best of Buffy" and next week Lover's Walk is one of the episodes airing. They don't seem to be airing in any particular order, but I'm not complaining. So if you get Logo, check it out. (It's 272 on Direct TV; I don't know about Dish or Cable.) You can also catch episodes at Logotv.com, theWB.com, and Hulu.com (And thus ends the public service announcement portion of the posting)
I'm going to head over to the storyline comm next and delete out the posts of characters who are no longer with us. I encourage you to go and edit your own posts if you've lost storyline partners, and to make yourself a list of past and current threads in case IJ goes wonky with the notifs again. Again, none of those are things you're required to do but it might make your life organizationally easier.
Lastly I'm opening up for suggestions, encouraging input, etc. What do you like around here, what do you hate around here, etc. Feel free to chime it in! I love you guys, and I'd love to hear what's going on with you.
