Writer's Block: Spoilers Below the Cut

[kuraokamiko]

Have you ever ruined the ending or given away plot developments in a book, movie, or tv show by telling someone who hasn't seen or read it what happens? Has anyone ever done this to you?

Yes. *stares off into direction of Britain* Lee Shiro, the brat, was online after I bought the 5th Harry Potter book. I told her I had just got it, and she

Heheh, yeah, it really is one of the seven sins of fandom. Hints, I can handle. Hints are okay, but just getting it out there to show off knowledge that could ruin the enjoyment and entertainment of others? Nah.

geh, I remember that revelation. I wasn't so much as shocked as I was annoyed that it was spoiled. That was not cool what that jerk did. Not even a cut... tsk!

Grrrr, I hate/fear spoilers to an unhealthy extent. Someone who I didn't even know spoiled the 7th book for me. I finished it because I only had 5 chapet left, but I haven't been able to read it a second time, so I know how you feel. TT_____TT

Wow, that sux... you were much closer to the ending than I was, so that's really disappointing. Nowadays, I try not to read any discussion topics anymore. I used to enjoy going in them to meet other fans, but half of them nowadays are spoilmongers that it's discouraging.

I know right? It's like, I can't really fangirl about something with other people until I've finished it, and then it feels like I rush to finish it instead of savoring it to reduce the risk of spoilers. But oh well, we just have to filter it and manage somehow. ._.

[kuraokamiko]

Yeah, not much one can do about it. Unless you put up a No Spoilers rule, which becomes pretty redundant because everyone's individual. I mean... yeah, when it first comes out, it's a spoiler, but a year later, if it's revealed, new fans will be spoiled. Urgh... so troublesome!
