this brings a question to mind imlad Send a noteboard - 19/08/2011 03:25:31 AM
Of course, there are stories which can be spoiled by a vital spoiler even for me, e.g. those that rely on a surprise twist ending.


In this day and age when just about every story out there has a twist ending, does not having a twist ending comprise a twist?
Death to the Regressives of the GOP and the TeaParty. No mercy for Conservatives. Burn them all at the stake for the hateful satanists they are.

Interesting article: "Spoilers don't spoil anything." Aemon - 11/08/2011 08:33:42 PM 2495 Views
It's probably one of those things that works "in general" Jacob - 11/08/2011 08:43:03 PM 1416 Views
Could be! Aemon - 11/08/2011 10:21:15 PM 1557 Views
I sometimes find spoilers can ADD tension (a *MAJOR* aDwD spoiler contained within!!!) imlad - 12/08/2011 03:02:18 AM 1368 Views
Here's a rebuttal. Nate - 11/08/2011 09:02:06 PM 1595 Views
That rebuttal is about as strong as the original article (not very ). Aemon - 11/08/2011 10:15:36 PM 1742 Views
The point I like in it ... Nate - 11/08/2011 10:52:02 PM 1316 Views
I think in many cases there certainly is an "intended" way to enjoy a book... Legolas - 11/08/2011 11:17:30 PM 1334 Views
Tor.com has a vested interest in us not getting spoilers imlad - 12/08/2011 03:24:20 AM 1258 Views
I wouldn't call either of those spoilers ... Nate - 12/08/2011 01:38:08 PM 1148 Views
I agree it is case by case imlad - 12/08/2011 09:08:25 PM 1296 Views
It really depends on the story, and of course on the reader. Legolas - 11/08/2011 11:03:01 PM 1427 Views
I pretty much agree with your opinion here. It depends on the spoiler and the book. Rebekah - 12/08/2011 12:45:02 PM 1285 Views
I dunno. My personal experience leans the other way. Ghavrel - 12/08/2011 01:57:37 AM 1234 Views
Yeah, I don't think it's for everyone. Aemon - 12/08/2011 02:51:19 AM 1685 Views
Not having read the article... James - 12/08/2011 03:04:13 AM 1310 Views
Spoilers don't spoil anything if the story is well-written. Tom - 12/08/2011 04:25:44 AM 1225 Views
And I agree with this too. Rebekah - 12/08/2011 12:46:03 PM 1278 Views

It depends on what you want to get out of a story Helene - 19/08/2011 12:16:42 AM 1248 Views
