I'll add as a disclaimer that I haven't read a scrap of HP. This may be surprising to many of you, but it's entirely true. Still, in the interests of the HP fanentities on my Flist, we have this entry.

We all know that the sixteenth is the release date for a certain novel. This might be because the HP fandom likes to keep reminging us, but that's neither here nor there. The real point is that, where there is Art, there are spoilers. I'm certain that this isn't a new trend - Picasso may have chased after people whispering "she's weeping", Leonardo may have been distressed at people telling everyone what happened at the end of the Sforza Horse*, and Tacitus probably wanted to slap someone for wandering into the Forum and shouting about what happens to Caligula.

No, it isn't a new phenomenon at all - but I think there is a solution. A simple, elegant solution that'll see all spoilers forever consigned to... um... somewhere else. Here, we have a post where you can write spoiler-spoilers. Tell us how the novel's about to be spoiled. Ruin the suspense of tiptoeing around spoilercuts. Be funny, for I suspect everyone can do with a laugh. Spoil spoilers for any fandom at all, because I'm feeling nice.

Go! Comment! Spoil the Spoilers! Ruin the Ruination! Topple the Threads! Demystify the Denouements! Herald the Heresies! Announce the... bah, you get it.
