We have to wait for the other proposal to be settled, Connie to propose something else.
Also, FTR, I am game to have the book club opened for Pottermania.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh yeah, I'd love the HP stuff to go into the book club thread.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Add my bull.
I think that there isn't anything else that's been waiting for an open, so you'd not be cutting in line to go next, Connie.

I agree with the cowgirl.

Stompies? Can we just reopen the book thread then? I think we have a full on consense.
Can we open it today?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Why? I think pre-book discussion has been co-existing fine with other discussion in Literary, so far.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
Well, since we've bullshit consensed on a decision, I see no reason why not to implement that decision immediately. Especially since it's been asked for multiple times from the Stompies at this point.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Also, as noted in Literary, the book is already both on teh intarwebs and in some rare cases on the ground. I think a bit early is better than a bit late.

And you think there will be a consensus to allow spoilers in the thread? I would rather open the thread Friday night.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
I think there's a need, and opening a spoily thread now fills that need. I don't think anybody will want to go full monty in Literary, because we are respectful hedgehogs, but that doesn't mean people don't want to go full monty.
(The first realio trulio spoiler-talk location I've seen was put up midday yesterday, and it appears to have quite a few discussers. Who have moved past the "rocks fall! Everybody dies!" jokey stage of spoilydom. The same could easily happen here, no?)
