We GOTTA be able to come up with a better name than this: Blood On The Dance Floor

Bump.

When does the Crowner close?

After more than just one day, I think. Especially since we seem to have gotten at least one no vote (possibly from a misguided Michael Jackson fan).

Ok, this has been stable for a couple of days at 9:1 in favor of a rename. I've created an alternative titles crowner here.

Single prop locked at +16 (yeas:18 nays:2) 9.00 : 1 in favor of renaming.

Alt title crowner hooked.

I don't know, but personally, Vampire Ball sounds to me like a bad snowclone of Idiot Ball /Sanity Ball / Villain Ball, even if it's unintentional.

Yeah, I think I mentioned that when I first proposed it. :)

This one looks like it's crystallizing fairly well, after an early deadlock. Bumping to get more votes (or comments).

Bump, this looks pretty stable. Unless there's a last-second surge of votes, I'll call it tomorrow.

Anyone concerned that Vampire Dance could be mistaken for the movements that vampires do while dancing - i.e. a "dance" as in waltz, tango, or foxtrot (hah, I only realized I did that after I actually did it), as opposed to a "dance" as in an event?

Hmm. I don't think vampires are particularly known for the way they dance, so, no, not really. Zombie Dance might lead to confusion because of a zombie's distinctive lurching movement (and the Michael Jackson video), but I that doesn't apply here. Vampires dance like people dance, so I can't imagine anyone would expect that to be a trope, unlike dance events featuring vampires, which are a staple of fiction.

Ok, after two more calls for votes, we got two more votes for the unopposed leading candidate. A brief discussion about possible confusion lead to three more votes for the leader. I think we can call this settled. I'll get started on the move.

edit: someone else seems to have jumped on this, so I'll wait.

Sorry about that, I made most of the rename changes (like moving the wicks, fixing the laconic page, and copying the trope description), but I am currently waiting on a report I sent to a moderator to move the discussion on Blood On The Dance Floor to Vampire Dance before I make Blood On The Dance Floor a redirect.

Thanks to Meta Four for moving the discussion and to Xtifr for making the redirect.

Not a problem!

It's moved.

redirect created, I think we're done here. Calling for a lock.
