The Launchbox
This is a folder of drafts pulled from the Mothball folder and set apart for having the hats to launch, but still aren't exactly ready to fly without some work. If nothing else, it separates them from the Discard and Yard candidates until adopted/launched, or shown to be discard-worthy.
- Magical Girl Genre — May not be launch able due to unclear distinction from Magical Girl?
Mothballed Drafts
This folder is for drafts that were brought to the discard thread but rejected for being hypothetically fixable.
- Elizabethan Beauty Ideal: A Forgotten Trope, though it might be better to expand it to the beauty standards of particular eras.
- Ironic Flashback
- Useless Useful Item: Item version of Useless Useful Spell
