Re: Jennpurr's Spoiler post.

Jenn,

It's not that the title really spoiled me (I've suffered a certain
amount of involuntary spoilage, but that title doesn't really give me
any clues), but just generally I think it would be safer to avoid
discussing which characters or arcs a spoiler concerns above the space. 

I believe a better heading for such posts would be to list the source of
the spoiler ("Spoiler from Drew Greenberg") or the ep the spoiler is
about ("Spoiler for Ep 18", if that's the ep in question) or simply "new
Spoiler". 

I just worry that even though this heading didn't cross the line, it was
close enough to it that others might go over it. Let's just be safe and
keep them bland, okay?

Or what you can do is use the two-stage spoiler space, where you tell us
you're going to mention which characters the spoiler involves, give us
some space, mention the characters, and then give some more Spoiler
Space before coming to the actual spoiler. I know that's a bit of work,
though.

On other topics, I'm glad you liked my anecdote and I look forward to
seeing your fic.
