I had the idea that it was whitefont for the current season. I'm not sure that there is practical difference between that and a year, though.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

That's pretty much why I said 365. Seasons vary in length, but they don't tend to be longer than a year.

But sometimes, especially with reality shows like TAR and Survivor, they can be less than a year.

ok so whitefont for a season and then it can be regular font is what peoiple are discussing? but there is no problem with whitefonting shows right away, right?
And as long as the shows do not have athread they can go in Natter?
This is basically how I've been playing, but I know some things get discussed out of whitefont before a full season has passed.

I really didn't want to bring this up, but reality shows are different in that they seem to be news, and also not shipped to other markets.
Do we care to distinguish?
We make it a season, and if you're watching the show you know how long a season is, so the variables are accounted for. Or do we make it a day? Or two weeks?

If we make it a season, can you discuss a season finale right after it airs?

Not until the next season starts, was my thinking.

Okay, that makes sense to me. Whitefonting on the side of caution seems like a good idea.

when y'all say discuss, you mean NOT in whitefont, right?

Yes, sorry -- discuss visibly. Patently. Flauntily.
