Jul. 16th, 2005 04:02 pmHuh. You know, for the past week my friendslist has been crammed with posts about how people don't want to be spoiled, won't put up with being spoiled, for the love of God please no spoilers. So I kind of thought, hey cool! No spoilers. Except I just went through the first page of my friendslist, and I was spoiled before I even got to the massive spoilery troll post (which in fact I managed to avoid reading, thanks to some very helpful posters).
Let me clarify, folks -- saying, "I'm not going to be spoilery, but boy she'd better make one of my favorite characters back into a mammal by the end of book 7" is, actually, spoilery. (This is a totally madeup example. I think. Actually, for all I know the entire pureblooded community ends up as a colony of newts, but I doubt it.)
Alas. It's not really that I want to be shocked and amazed at each new page -- it's that I will now approach the book with trepidation, waiting for the spoiled part to come. I'm not sure what I'm going to do about this, other than not read my friendslist -- but, see, I can't read the book until next Sunday at the earliest, so that's kind of hard. Oh well.
