    So, I write Twilight fanfiction for a juried archive. I have an on-going story that was last updated a couple of days ago. In that chapter, I said ""Because there are people still reading Breaking Dawn and there isn't even a place to hide all the spoiler-filled fics, I will not post anything that has details of that book until I get the go-ahead from the mods. Until then, enjoy the sameold sameold." Well, this morning, I woke up to find that the same person had gone into not only that story but another on-going one and posted a detailed spoiler-filled summary of the last 500 pages of the book that came out on Saturday. I found this at the very moment that my brother called to tell me he was outside and we needed to leave for work. So I had to leave it as is and came home ready to report this to the mods. Well, the mods were on the ball and deleted every review that had a spoiler in it. But the obnoxious thing is that they also deleted my comment about being spoiler-free and then chewed my head off for having encouraged people to ruin the ending for all my other readers.

    [:D] I hope your grandmother gets well quickly, mav!

    Ish, that's ridiculous. You encouraged spoiling... how? :rolleyes: That's really unfair.

    By writing...that I was NOT going to include spoilers, I guess? I mean, people obviously saw that and couldn't resist the temptation to post all of the stuff that I wasn't!

    The simple mention of spoilers triggered an alarm. Obviously, if you mention their existance in any form, you're out to ruin everyone's fun.

    Politely ask for clarification about how they think you encouraged spoilers, and use the response to gauge what you do next.

    I suggest that Ish goes on an e-homicidal rampage and demand an explanation.

    At least, that's what I would do. :p I tend to overreact.

    Well, the last time someone went on a rampage, the head of the site sort of posted her letter nad the head's incredibly insulting response on the front page of the site so everyone could laugh at her.

    Hmm... I can think of a few, sure, but how badly do you want to sing Bryan Adams songs?

    Thanks DBS, she is doing much better! [:D]


    That is awful, Ish!! I don't understand why people post details about a book that hasn't even been out a week! Not everyone can get it and read it all in a few days... doing so is just plain rude. It is one thing in a discussion thread that is clearly marked with spoiler warnings, but in a fic reply?? :rolleyes:
    I know I would have been very, very upset if I had been spoiled for Breaking Dawn... very upset!

    Would you mind PMing me a link for that archive? [face_praying] (I'm tired of searching through ff.net for good Twilight fics! 8-} )

    That sucks. My advice is just politely asking why your no spoilers request was deleted; it mighth just have been a mistake.

    I did in my email back to them, which basically politely said "Hey, thanks for telling me when/where I can eventually post spoiler-filled fics. It'll be good to know when I actually do that, since right now I obviously am not."

    *Shakes*

    Who else can't wait for Watchmen to come out?

    Rorschach looks so badass![face_laugh] [face_skull]

    Ish, I would say just be patient and don't worry about those silly spoilers. I'm sorry I can't offer better advice. New to FanFic and don't know anything about Twilight.:(

    I was reading comics when Watchmen first came out and I never got into it. Given Dark Kight, all I need is another depressive super hero movie. The effects, especially for Dr. Manhattan, look fantastic, but the film looks like a major downer.

    That sounds nice!

    I'm feeling a bit off, so I'll probably just have a quiet day.

    We're finally painting my room today! :D It's a very nice light blue-green, and I'm so excited for it to be finished. My brother's room was redone a few weeks ago, and now it's mine turn. My parents didn't expect to do mine so soon, but my mom said she felt bad buying my brother an entire new furniture set, painting, and asking me to do a large part of the work, then leaving me with nothing. :p All I needed was paint!

    Still, this is only the beginning of my mom's painting season. We're going to be painting for a loooong while. I love that she has a wonderful design sense, an eye for colors, and professional painting skills. She does go a little paint-happy in the late summer into the fall. :oops:

    Oh yeah, I'll be around for all of it. [face_beatup] I have a picture from when I was in pre-school, painting the side of our new house. I was trying to find it again, but had no luck! :(

    Her next project is my bathroom, and after that's she's moving back downstairs to paint the kitchen. Again. Apparently she doesn't like the yellow that's on two walls. It's a repeat of what happened with the green walls last summer!

    The day she stops painting is the day I have to start worrying. :p
