Project 61393/Gender/penguin etc.

[Debbie]

Miss Havisham listened from behind her door. Jen seemed to be coping
well with her new role. At the weekend she would ask for a progress
report on Project 61393, the catchy title for finishing the pre-OOP
posts before 16th July.

My contribution to Project 61393:  I promise each week either to 
catalogue 100 posts or to complete one of the review categories on 
my list.  And to stash some single malt whisky for the celebration 
when the project is complete.  

Current report:  At long last, I've finished reviewing "Portrayal of 
Males/Females".  It's been chopped down to 263 from 400 plus.  I 
think I could have done better, though.  Blame the dull blade on my 
axe.  Some of these posts just got pushed to Sexual Orientation, 
including some Perversion in the Graveyard posts.  Since some of 
these posts suggest that the homoerotic undertones are more about 
rape than sexual orientation, I propose to delete the code and leave 
them coded solely to Voldemort.  Any objections?  I'll take my axe 
in for sharpening before beginning this review.

Wait a minute!  I don't really hate Harry!  For the record, I 
wrote:  "I don't dislike Harry at all; however, there is something 
about Harry's
character that *does* rub me the wrong way: I don't like his 
archetype."

But there were two *excellent* filks just this week.  Take a bow, 
Dungrollin and Ginger.

Like now?  Seriously, I've been tempted to add to the top of some of 
the pending messages I've approved, "Note to Cataloguers:  Tedious 
repetition.  Reject without reading."

I've become quite a minimalist coder, so I think the categories you 
chose are fine.
And thank you!  I have a rather odd attachment to some of my old 
posts, including this one, but it's impossible to be objective about 
them.

I vote to save at least the funny ones, as a reflection of list 
culture.  Though not technically TBAY, they are TBAY-ish.  (despite 
the fact that Amanda claimed she could not write in TBAY style).
