The Grander Scheme of Things
A place where you can discuss any aspect of life in terms of its ethical, epistemological, ontological, psycho-sociological, or other intellectual implications.
International Month of Tales, Sagas, Myths, and Legends; Chapter 2

Musers Unaware
KaiYves asked:
“Does anyone think it would be a good idea to award some kind of annual “Muser Unaware†awards to people or organizations outside of the blog who have promoted Musery in their own, unintentional way?”
We agree with Errata: why stop there? Use this thread to recognize inadvertent agents of Muserliness.
Movies, v. 2009.2
Remember to post spoiler warnings (ending in periods), please!

MuseBlogeography
It all started with Tesseract’s civics class and a pair of Alaskan fish socks…and continued well past the limit of nested replies, so here’s a thread where you can talk about your state (or province or country): a chance to play mythbuster or mythmaker or just be silly about the state (or province or country) you call home.
The Floating, Underwater, Extraterrestrial, or Otherwise Exotic City Design Thread
Originally suggested by Rainbow, who said:
“At some point, conditions on Earth will make the planet an undesirable place to live. Luckily, we Musers will have planned ahead and built ourselves a floating city. The thread is for designing and discussing the city, similar to the “Mostly Harmless Theme Park†thread.”
By multiple requests: no role-playing.

Religion and Religions, v. 2009.2
Continued from version 2009.1.
Reminder: This is a place for careful, clear, respectful discussions. We expect MBers to be able to express their opinions without attacking others personally AND to be able to listen to people who disagree with them without feeling personally attacked.

“Houston, Tranquility Base here. The Eagle has landed.” Read more »
College / University / Higher Education, v. 2009
Since the old one was, well, old. And as Jadestone pointed out, more people are thinking about this now that weren’t then.
Continued from the 2008 version.
Logomania Unleashed! Part 3
The Woven Beyond takes a clockwise turn of 90 degrees as it winds up the month with Part 3 of the Random Thread. Read more »

Quotations, 2009.2 Atheism
Continued from Quotations, 2009.1.
Anyone who doesn’t want to argue about the existence or nonexistence of God had better go to Quotations 2009.3.
Reminder: As is the case with all threads dealing with potentially contentious subject matter, this is a place for careful, clear, respectful discussions, not brawls. We expect MBers to be able to express their opinions without attacking others personally, AND to be able to listen to people who disagree with them without feeling personally attacked.
Easier said than done, of course. But, as we’ve said before, MuseBlog is a good place to practice trying.
Hot Topics, v. 2009.3
This thread is a place for careful, clear, respectful discussions of difficult topics. It is not a place for having two-fisted no-holds-barred discussions.
MBers should be able to express their opinions without attacking others personally, and be able to listen to people who disagree with them without feeling personally attacked.
Easier said than done, of course. But MuseBlog is a good place to practice trying.
Continued from version 2009.2.
Lady Bunniful Opines
I decided to make this statement a separate thread rather than disrupt the Romance and Relationships thread any further. Furthermore, athough the following is mostly in response to the discussion on that thread, its substance pertains to many other instances. Read more »
Logomania Unleashed! Part 2
This madness most exquisitely lexical leads us dizzied and dazzled into Part 2 of the June Random Thread, where over and under the warp of being we weave the weft of words. Read more »
Books in Progress, v. 2009.2
A thread on which Musers who have written, are writing, or want to write books can share excerpts and bounce ideas off others.
Continued from v. 2009.1.
Writers’ Notebook
A writer should always have on hand a place to jot down ideas for plots, characters, settings, images, and other random literary elements as they come to mind. This thread is a place to jot down similar sorts of notions, with the difference that these are the ideas you doubt you’ll ever use yourself.
JJjetplane-girlw/cats made the suggestion:
You know it would be awesome to have a thread where we just come up with ideas for other people (if we don’t have time, or get inspiration if we’re stuck). I know that I get random ideas in my head all the time, and being able to tell everyone about them means they at least get a chance. Plus, if anyone is stuck on a topic for their story, they can read up for inspiration.
