where cc states her spoiler policy
I have this horrible habit (propensity?) to think about things too much. Maybe I should call it stewing. The more I think about something, the more worked up I get. I've always done this. It is why Mr. Charm can leave in the morning, thinking everything is fine, and come home and I'm irritated because I've been thinking about some 'wrong' from days/weeks/months/years previous.
I wish I could turn my mind off.
The neighbor is being petty. Not waving, acknowledging my existence...anything. I'm not suprised at all but Jesus Christ I feel like I'm in junior high school again. I hated junior high school.
I love the British version of the cover (see icon for confirmation). I like the American if only for the clue it gives us. The adult version is great, too. I have theories, but I don't have the energy to write them out right now.
As for spoilers I've come to a decision. I don't want to have the plot spoiled for me. Book covers, interior art, chapter titles, dustjacket summaries...not spoilers to me. Specific plot points like who dies and such, I don't want to know. There is one thing that I want to be spoiled on...if Ron and Hermione get together. I don't want to know if Harry and Hermione do. Only if Ron and Hermione do. I would much rather have that info so I can get past the dissapointment and read the book for what it's really about, which is Harry versus Voldemort, good versus evil. If that is sprung on me in the middle of the book...well, I don't know how I'd react. I know I want to react sensibly (it is only a fucking book and fictional characters after all) but I'm afraid i've been ruined by fandom. So I want to know.
a_chapter_a_day is still going strong...although a little slower due to the book cover release. We've opened up a FORUM so people can expand the discussions started over there. We wanted to make this forum different from all the others, so we are focusing only on the books. No movies, actors, pictures, fan fiction, fan art...just talking about the books. We also have a section for other books where users can talk about the books that have influenced JKR, her contemporaries and books the we want to review/recommend. Come check it out. You don't have to be a member of a_chapter_a_day. Thanks to seicat for creating and doing all the hard work that went into creating the forum.
Nothing much else to report from the Charmers residence.
