LJ has what they call a "cut tag" -- what you see on the main page looks like
blah blah blah ( read more ) blah.
The bold part is a link to the full version of the post on the comments page. It's customary to replace the "read more" part with a one-line header/spoiler warning; something like "PG, S7 casting spoilers" should do the trick.
The code for it is
t lj-cut text="whatever you want to say"
and
t /lj-cut
at the end of what you want to offset.
As for whether what you've posted here is too spoilery, I'm as spoiled as last week's chicken parts, so my spoilometer is out of whack. It doesn't look that way to me, though.
With 200 words, it has to stay tight. I think that's a good exercise for verbose-me.
I love the short-shorts. Of course, I seem to have gone from 200-word fics to 100-word ones, thanks to the Wednesday and Sunday 100s. One of these days, I'm going to end up doing one-word fic.

I doubledogdare you to archive that.
So I can't use the cut tag in Twi's journal?
Is it better to post it in Twi's journal with a spoiler warning, or spoiler font, or should I post it in my own with the cut, and then link it to Twi's?
Isn't LJ spoiler font the same as here? Or you could use an lj cut.
What's the tag? I use quick edit here. Should I do <font color="white">?
Sorry I'm being so needy, I'm so new to LJ; I don't want to spoil someone about the casting spoiler by accident.
Thanks for all the compliments, everyone. If it's good, it's beginner's luck.

I am *NOT* sending it to lists.
I might, on a whim, upload it at BfA. Too bad it's not two days ago.
Post in your own journal, and post a link to it in the comments in Twi's challenge post.
And definitely do a cut rather than a spoiler font. When people read it in their friends pages rather than going directly to your page, their background colors won't necessarily be the same as yours (says she who couldn't resist the fan/goth cliche of a black background).
Thanks!

Yes, this I was worried about.

If you feel more comfortable, post it in your LJ behind the cut and link to it, but if you post it as-is, no spoiler warning in Twi's LJ, it should be fine.
(I used no spoiler warning in the post in the comments, and I mentioned Faith being in Sunnydale. It's vague enough to be okay.)
But if you post it in your LJ, be sure to use the cut, because of those pesky UnAmericans.
