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.

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."

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....

what are the whitefont guidelines? One week after publication? Two? Enter at your own risk?
Well, on HP6, this question was also raised ( Steph L. "We're Literary 2: To Read Makes Our Speaking English Good" Jul 12, 2005 10:37:56 am PDT) and it seems like the thing people decided to eventually do was similar to the Movies spoiler policy ( Steph L. "We're Literary 2: To Read Makes Our Speaking English Good" Jul 12, 2005 12:22:35 pm PDT):
whitefont all plot-related discussion for 1 month, and whitefont major HSQ (Harry & Draco 4Evah!!) until 1 month after the paperback release
And then it was all moot because the BookClub Thread which we had at the time became the no-whitefont home for HP6 discussion ( Wolfram "The Buffista Book Club: Isn't the Point of Computers to Replace Books?" Aug 7, 2005 8:01:35 pm PDT), which I personally thought was a great idea.
