Right, so I have no phone line at home, no internet access at home and limited downloads in the library. (It doesn't like zip files or AVIs for some reason - I think it thinks there's something malicious buried inside the compression or something...) Plus, my sister's getting to the stage where she doesn't want me downloading anything any more (she got two viruses on her computer and went over her download limit last month).

So although new seasons of shows have started (mostly) I haven't seen anything yet. At all. And I'm a spoilerphobe which means I really don't want to know what's going on until I can see the shows myself.

All of that means that I haven't been looking at my flist even when I can get online because even if there's no talk of the episodes themselves, I know there will be icons and the like out there.

So... amnesty time. Each and every single one of you is important to me, but right now I feel disconnected from you because I don't really know what's going on in your lives. So here's your out - if you want to take this opportunity to take me off your flist then please, don't feel bad about it at all. I will not be in the least bit offended. If you want to follow my fandom stuff (icons, wallpapers, graphics etc) when I manage to get round to posting anything, then you can watch or join my comm [livejournal.com profile] fandomsbitca and it'll all be up there. Or keep an eye on my site which will be being updated really soon.

*hugs you all*

(Oh, and I'm planning to do NaNo again this year, if it ends up (as it might do) being fanfiction, it'll be posted to fandomsbitca)

Before I say anything else - I have not seen SPN yet, and probably won't get to see it till much, much later in the day (if not until tomorrow) so please not to be spoiling me? Please?

Right, the oops? I signed up for [livejournal.com profile] spring_with_xan thinking I had ages to go. And I did, when I signed up. Now... it's due tomorrow. (And yes, I'm a little concerned that I won't actually be online tomorrow anyway so I'll have to work something out with libraries or something like that)

I...um...haven't started? I also have no hook yet. So.

Prompt me? Gen for preference, any time scale pre/during/post show. Me & angst go together well but if the muse hits I'll try anything.

It has to be a Xander related prompt, and I think I'd prefer not to crossover this time.

I am spoiler free.

I choose to remain spoiler free.

If you can't respect that, then why are you here?

(shamelessly copied from cooler heads on my flist:)
Spoilers include (but are not limited to): Episode titles, those evil "soon" trailers. ANY trailers. The freaking directors cuts. Behind the scenes pics. Casting rumours - I don't even want to know there IS a casting rumour, the fact that there's another character that isn't Sam'n'Dean? Is a spoiler. Icons with the pre-released material? Are spoilers.

I'm a member and newshound at [livejournal.com profile] spnfencentral which is a Supernatural based comm dedicated to remaining spoiler free. There are 354 members and 419 watchers there who are trying their damndest not to be spoiled. If you think that's a "stupid" goal? Why are you there?

This aint my sandbox, but I damn well reserve the right to tell you to get out of my corner of it.

Comments are off because this is a PSA rather than a bitchfest.

Okay, so randomly iTunes seem to have released the season premier of SPN early and for free (to those in the USA) so I think I may have to make today Friday 1 and tomorrow Friday 2.

Last year I didn't read my flist on Friday until I'd seen the episode because of the chances of spoilers. I trust my flist, I know you wouldn't deliberately spoil me, but I... I've been so good about avoiding spoilers this year (after the annoyance of the casting spoilers that flared up a few months ago and me accidentally falling over a SciFi.com article with an insanely spoilery title a month ago) so...

it's Friday #1 for me today.

Which is good in a way since I have a fic to write.

I consider casting news and episode titles as spoilers. This time last year if I'd known Bobby, Ellen, Jo and Ash (etc) were slated to become recurring/semi-regular characters I'd have been annoyed.

I'm therefore annoyed this morning because despite my post less than two days ago, I've been spoiled.

So here's my policy - if you post something spoilery out of a cut, you go off my default view. I don't want to defriend you because I love my flist, but I will not be spoiled. If you think you're off my default list and post something you want me to see, post a comment or link in whatever my most recent post is.

Sorry, but it's only June. I still can't quite believe I'm having to do this before they've even started filming for the next season!

Spoil me and I will end you.

I am a spoilerphobe, I don't want to know what's coming before I get to see it on the screen. As a media graduate it's hard enough to find a show I can enjoy without tearing it to shreds on a technical level and when I do manage to find that, I really don't want the suspense and the anticipation ruined by knowing what's coming.

For the entire second half of season two I had my friends list on here filtered right down to not include communities so that I could get to the finale without knowing anything. I had hoped that I could go back to my full flist now it's the summer but alas it seems that I may have to cut some communities completely because the spoilers are already starting.

So, a public service announcement. If you are an individual on my friends list who is likely to post spoilers, please comment here. If you would rather stay on my friends list please think about posting anything spoilery behind a cut so that those of us (like me) who don't want to know, don't stumble across it without warning.

*frets a little*

I'm not doing this to be mean, I don't want to lose any friends over this, but I just don't want to be told what's coming. Guessing, speculation, that's all fine - hell, it's half the fun. But concrete facts? Not for me thanks.
