My comments on the spoiler thread (even tho I didn't read the actual posting or comments) were not well received. So now I'm going to try to keep my head down until after this weekend... I'm in too much of a fighting mood. I couldn't stand being banned from the comm! :(
Good luck staying spoiler-free! I'm afraid to post in BD quote threads b/c I don't wan someone to try to link the quote to spoilers, but I <3 the quote threads... *sigh*
Oh dear, what happened in the spoiler thread? I just read the first comment and then left, I didn't want to be biased by comments and start disliking a book without even reading it. I'm so totally against spoilers even being allowed, it's too tempting.
Ah - nothing happened really as far as I know. I just started ranting about how wrong it was to post when SMeyer had asked us not to and how we should respect her since she's trusting us to make good judgments and all that... and while I applauded lion_lamb for staying active, I guess it was taken the wrong way or something and a Mod got involved and sort of told me off, which I didn't appreciate. But when I had gone to reply, the comments option was locked.
I guess the mods are going to post a thing about spoilers, but whatev. I <3 lion_lamb and I don't want to get banned, so I guess I'll keep my opinions to myself lol
It is hard not to peak tho lol Whether it's real or not. *sigh* Four days? I shall resist.
I just messaged two of the mods. It's fine if people want to post BD spoilers, but I think they should stick to one BD spoiler post. That way everyone can enjoy the other posts without having to be spoiled. I hope they take my words kindly, I don't mean any harm. I love lion_lamb more than any LJ community i've ever been part of.
I hope they take your thoughts into consideration as well. Hopefully the Mod message the one who commented me mentioned will be nice and helpful in getting through the next four days without having to turn off the computer lol
I feel the same way about lion_lamb. The way it's always updated and I've always met such nice people. I probably shouldn't have commented at all, but I was so upset... I just wanted to prove to SMeyer that she didn't need to have that warning about message boards and stuff. *sigh* oh well.
I saw that thread and didnt go in. It took every scrap of willpower i possess though. I have read the official SM spoilers though, cos i know she wont give too much away.
With film and TV i'm a total spoiler whore, but with books it's different. I know BD is already on the web, but there's something about holding the book in your hands... It's special, you know?
And you invest so much more time in a book than a film. It's one think to spoil a 2 hour film or 1hr TV show, but if i spend the best part of a day reading a book, i want to know the end will still be a surprise.
Exactly!!!!! That's how I feel completely. I mean, I got into Lost late and I'm still not through with season 4 and I've been avoiding discussion boards b/c I want to be spoiler free for that, but when I watched Buffy and X-Files - I was all about spoilers. It's totally different. Books are... sacred! haha
I'm being spoiler-free! :)
