One more time.
Okay, so I was talking to Sarah, and I think I understand bubbling more. Bubbling is basically where you put either "Bubbled", "Active", or "Closed" in the title. That defines it's status on the board. The active thread is the "current one"
The bubbled ones are ones that you've started, but the board has moved past time-wise. Here you are required to be a responisble writer, and you can finish the thread normally - but everyone will know it's bubbled, meaning it's basically an active flashback - because your charecter is active elsewhere.
For example, in a recent thread Skin, Candice and Kitty were talking over lunch.
Stuff happened a bit later, that Kitty wanted to be a part of. The lunch scene wasn't action packed or vital, nor did it contain things that would profoundly change the nature of the "active" game. So, we could just move this thread into flashbacks - and continue it there... but why bother with all that, when we could simply "Bubble It", and continue as we like? There is literally no difference, except the Flashbacks board doesn't get overloaded with those little scenes.
