Buffistas

This isn't a come-on. I'm in a very serious relationship with a landscape architect.

We're Literary 2: To Read Makes Our Speaking English Good

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 then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Funny -- I was just about to link to this:

The Canadian distributors of the new Harry Potter book secured a gag order preventing plot leaks after a "small number" of copies were mistakenly sold.

Raincoast Books were granted the injunction after a store near Vancouver put the book on sale early.

The order prevents anyone disclosing all or part of the plot to Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince ahead of its release on 16 July.

Those returning the book will be rewarded with a JK Rowling autograph.

The company, which distributes the books on behalf of Bloomsbury, sought the injunction in the Supreme Court of British Columbia.

"Raincoast and Bloomsbury have promised fans of Harry Potter that we would do our best to ensure that they would be the first to discover the secrets contained within Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince," said Jamie Broadhurst, marketing director at Raincoast Books.

"We felt that we had to take all necessary legal action to keep our promise to Canadian fans."

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Did we decide how long to whitefont discussion of the new Harry Potter?

I feel like we're still whitefonting for OotP, so...forever? More or less?

If I only had a brain...

I say at least until after the paperback comes out. Not all of us can afford hardback prices.

What's the guideline for movies?

Movies guideline is: "Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release."

So, maybe, since it takes longer to read a book than to watch a movie, maybe whitefont all plot-related discussion for 1 month, and whitefont major HSQ (Harry & Draco 4Evah!!) until 1 month after the paperback release?

Other readers' thoughts on that spoiler policy?
