In that Case, I would probably do a couple things:
Put en entry in the original picks field, something like "Traded to Aeneas (trade #1)" and vice versa with the trading partner in each field, then tack on the names at the bottom again to say (in the Names column) "Aeneas - trade 1" and put the pick in the appropriate column. Then do the same with the other person when they pick.
Every trade will increase the length of the spreadsheet by 2 rows, but there would be no limit to the number of trades.

I was going to stay away from this one, as 4 drafts at once seemed overwhelming, but the Movie one will be over soon, so why not? I'm in.

I'd love to do it, but I think I will just be an active observer instead. Busy enough with the two other drafts just started, and the movie one just finishing. Looking forward to this one though- thanks for doing it troutman!

Question about the graphic novel / comic book category: if you choose a comic book, do you choose a particular issue, or a whole series? I'm not sure which would work better.
Also, can you use a book of poetry for the literature categories? My vote would be yes, although I'm not sure anyone would take advantage of it.

Straight draft - snake not necessary, as there are millions of published books.
Comic book - series I think (ex. 6 issue arc, or trade paperback). Or, a special issue (ex. #1 issue, or Death of Captain America etc). Poetry for sure, or it could be a seperate category.

I think it depends. If we want people to be able to say "Action Comics no. 1" then I guess we go with "issues"--but my feeling is that we should go with the "novel" angle and require people to pick a whole series. Meaning that if you choose "Superman" then you get the Crisis on Infinite Earths, but you have to also take him marrying Lois Lane in multiple dream sequences in the 1950s. You get the bad with the good.
I would have advocated a second poetry category--I worry that people will rebel, but I definitely have ideas for that.
Also, will we have a Canadian category? I'd like one, if not.

Screw it, I have been thinking about possible selections for this draft all morning, and have decided I would regret not being a part of this. So I'm in. A couple additional suggestions- maybe consider expanding the non-fiction categories, and adding a magazine/news/weekly category.
