Books - PLEASE READ : No Spoilers Policy

StellaSlight · 11-13-2004, 12:13 AM

Hi guys,

I just wanted to post this to remind you that spoilers aren't allowed.
I've checked some threads where I could read informations about some particular books that could be regarded as such. What is considered spoiler? Informations that would reveal the plot, or details that would give away the effect of discovery for the reader. In short, anything that would ruin a good reading, and everyone knows how frustrating it can be. It's okay though to mention details, or parts of the plot that have already been revealed by the publisher, or discussed by the author him/herself in some interview.

I know this is hard to talk about a book without revealing some elements and this is why we have the 'spoiler' smilie. When you review the last book you have read, or discuss it in a thread, don't say things like "major characters died" or "boy Y and girl X should have gotten together in the end", without warning the other posters with that sign :

It doesn't take long to add that sign, and it'll save the other readers from a disagreable surprise.

Thank you,
Anne
