can I go home yet?

I know recently there have been lots of discussions over what constitutes a spoiler to some people and harshing squees. So I thought I would just let y'all know where I stand on these things.

Spoilers:

I do *not* want to know spoilers. I consider spoilers to be anything about the storyline of an episode that isn't out yet and/or information on an episode that has just aired in the past week. While I personally try to cut anything that has to do with episodes that I think people might not have seen, I don't expect someone to cut something from Buffy for god's sake.

If you constantly put spoilers outside of a cut, I will probably defriend you. Accidents happen, but if you can't bother to cut your thoughts on an episode that just aired over and over, I'm gonna pass on reading you. It's your right to not cut anything, but it's also my right to not want to be spoiled.

That said, I don't consider spoilers to be, "oh my god, so good" or "What the hell was that?" That stuff doesn't bother me and I don't really think that gives anything away.

So that's where I stand on spoilers.

Harshing Squees:

I'm totally okay with people talking about things they didn't like about episodes, even when i thought it was a great one, in my journal. I'm cool with discussions on what worked and what didn't. I only get upset when it turns to things like, "This sucked and anyone who liked it is obviously stupid." Because that's just rude. And do we really need that? Does that offer any insight into why it was bad?

So yes, please feel free to talk about things so long as you're not rude to me and/or other people.

Nothing too major. I'm pretty "whatever" about most things. And I understand that people have bad days and crap happens, so I'm more likely to let things slide, but my feeling about fandom is that it should always be fun. This is a hobby. If I stop having fun or start worrying about coming on livejournal, it's time to walk away.

The Tuesday Ten

1. Have you entered the property market? ie, do you own your own home? I rent a house. i'm hoping to buy next year though, once my car is paid off.

2. Where do you live? South Jersey

3. Your favourite Beatle? C’mon, we all got one! John

4. Movie sequel you are most hangin to see is: Pirates of the Caribbean

Your cellphone is a) a piece of functional hardware that does what its spose to, or b) a shiny, colourful, cute lil thing that plays music and takes fotos and organises your life, or c) something in between :) A...I really don't use my cellphone a whole lot. I mostly have it for emergencies. My theory is if I wanted someone to know where I was at all times, they would be with me.

Heheh that reminds me of the thing some people (I know I) do, where they look at the "mood" and mood icon of a person and depending on what they knew about a person's ideal episodes or developments (like a "sad" mood would mean lots of clana and no clex), would use that as a sort of spoilery gauge about the ep.

That's true and probably a good way to figure things out.

I hear Sam and Dean die at the end of S2, and S3 is all about Jo carrying on hunting in their memory.

…Yeah, I'm not even laughing, either! Sorry.

Yay!

ohmigod, that sounds like an awesome season three.

Except not really.

And yeah, I don't see people disagreeing with me as something that ruins my enjoyment of the show. Mostly because I'm a stubborn girl and nothing would change how I felt about something.
