| When you are discussing an excerpt from an unpublished book or story, please make sure to include the word SPOILER and a minimum of 6-8 lines of "spoiler space" (more is always better) in your message, before the reference to the excerpt, so that those who avoid excerpts can have some advance warning. This applies even in threads already labeled "SPOILERS". | When you are discussing an excerpt from an unpublished book or story, please make sure to include the word SPOILER and a minimum of 6-8 lines of "spoiler space" (more is always better) in your message, before the reference to the excerpt, so that those who avoid excerpts can have some advance warning.
