The spoiler policy discussion for Dude started here:

Anyway, so, talking about the books is okay, comments on the film, by thems that are spoiled, not so much.
They're doing it backwards; walking up the down slide.

Bureaucracy 2: Like Sartre, Only Longer
A thread to discuss naming threads, board policy, new thread suggestions, and anything else that has to do with board administration and maintenance. Guaranteed to include lively debate and polls. Natter discouraged, but not deleted.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Er, yeah, what he said! That's the citation I was going to give.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
(Hey, Jon, is that done being HTMLified yet? If not, I'll post the linky citation when I get home.)
Whoops! I forgot all about it. I will get something up real soon.

Where is the talk on the new HP happening and what's the white-fonting policy on it?

It's happening in Literature, and is all pretty much white-fonted.

Thanks DX. I won't even get the book until next week and wanted to know if I need to avoid any threads.

"Don't think of yourself as an organic pain collector racing towards oblivion." Dogbert to Dilbert
I was under the impression that we were allowed free discussion of the books in the "Dude" thread, but anything about the next movie was right out. I do know that some people have been white-fonting major plot points as a courtesy. I know that I have done so in past discussions about "I wonder how they are going to do XXX scene in the movie?".
I'm all for free, non-whitefont discussion of the literary works, but since Tokien's works are a major part of my personal canon, I might be biased.
Saying that, though, I'd hate to have people miss out on the conversations that will take place when the DVD's get released. So that makes me wishy-washy. I'll have to think some more about this dilemna.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
That was the consensus, Jeff:

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Not sure whether this belongs here or in BBaB, but I've just sent the 2003 Foamies nomination form to admin@buffistas.org, to be put up somewhere here at the leisure of the Stompies.

There isn't any such mailbox -- admins is the Stompy one. I don't think fangeek bounces, though.
