That way they may avoid reading the spoilers if they wish to do so.

Other Notes (to be added to as needed)
1. Even if you're not up to writing anything, please feel free to contribute prompts here.
2. Please be respectful of one another.
3. Submit entries for the prompts as many times as you like.
4. I'm spreading the word about the Fic Battle, but there are so many communities that it's hard to get to them all. If you know a community that I might have missed or you want to drop a note in your own journals, please feel free to do so.
ETA #1:
5. When submitting the prompts, just put all of your submissions in one comment, instead of submitting a new comment for every pairing/character/whatever. My apologies for not making that clear. *facepalm*
