Mal: Yeah, well, just be careful. We cheated Badger out of good money to buy that frippery, and you're supposed to make me look respectable. Kaylee: Yes, sir, Captain Tightpants.

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."

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

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I feel like we're still whitefonting for OotP, so...forever? More or less?

I say a month.

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?

Sounds good to me.

Other readers' thoughts on that spoiler policy?

Up with the sun

I don't like paying hardback prices, so I'm on the wait list at the library. I should probably have the book and have read it within eight weeks at the latest. (It's a long wait list, but it's a big library.)
That said, I'd be willing to avoid the thread or skim until I had the book, rather than force whitefont forever.
Edit: The modified movies policy would work for me.
