Silly (or maybe not so silly) question. With HP7 due out next weekend and with people a) reading at various rates and b) getting their mitts on the book at differing times, what are the whitefont guidelines? One week after publication? Two? Enter at your own risk?
Now I did a job. I got nothing but trouble since I did it, not to mention more than a few unkind words as regard to my character so let me make this abundantly clear. I do the job. And then I get paid.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
My suggestion would be one week, but I could go for longer (or shorter) than that. I don't really mind white font, so if people want it for a longer period of time, I can go with that.
I'm hoping to finish by Monday morning.

move out and draw fire
So, is there anyone out there who wants several boxes of sci-fi and fantasy paperbacks? I was thinking about scanning them into Library Thing for sale or free-with-postage, but I have about 500 books to get rid of, and I don't want to make 500 separate trips to the post office.

Oh, bliss! That means I don't even have to mail them. Actually, it means you can come over and be selective about going through them, if you want.

Sounds excellent, Raq! Next weekend, perhaps? I'll email....
