Spoilers

[mothwing]

I hate spoilers.
Well, I love spoilers.

I can NEVER resist them, and thus I sometimes trawl spoiler forums/communities, looking for titbits on sites which provide a healthy mixture of hilarious rumours and true bits of information. Ok, my fault, but I never expected to find anything remotely... true that's actually of tremendous importance. I never expect great big leaks.

Things like the scans .... No. A peak at the first page, or the first chapter, yes. Actually reading all of it... never. But of course, not everyone thinks like that.

There are evil people on LJ who use great, big, fucking blinking icons which list the characters who are going to die according to a suspiciously real-looking scan of the entire fucking book which has been floating around online. Max had warned me, I had forgotten to be careful, I saw it. To make matters even better, there are people who post a list of the characters who die with the fucking page numbers - in fucking reviews on fucking ff.net.

Awesome.

Can someone please tell me that those scans are fakes?

Please?

People are big idiots. I have read things that looked like they were made up by the stupidest fanbrats ever, yet people claim them to be canon.

The worst thing is that I trust JKR to do everything, even go and write something that looks like she ripped off a stupid plot from ff.net.

I'll be off to fanfic forever after this book.

They are, they are.

Also, parts of canon really seem to have serious fanficky quality. I doubt I was the only one who went, "OMFG! SUE!!!" at Tonk's first appearance.

Oh goodness yes! Luna too! In fact, part of me wondered if that book was the result of a crippling writer's block and a ghost writer! It just seemed so different to what had gone before.

Still, we'll see & we haven't got long to wait now!

Hmm, what Sue traits does Luna have?

[firenightingale.livejournal.com]

Unusual appearance, stands out alone from the crowd, only understood/accepted by the hero for starters!

I'm sorry honey! I really hope that either they're wrong or that somehow it doesn't spoil the book for you. *hugs*

Actually, I think one of the bright sides is that if its true, then I'll be prepared for whatever happens. Not bad either, but I would have preferred having a shrewd guess without actually being told, along with page numbers. :D

Damn! I so hope they are all wrong.
AND that we'll be able to last those LAST THREE DAYS without any further spoilers!
Heck! Stupid world! Why do they always have to haaaassste through things?
I don't get that.

I hope so, too. And I also don't GET why the people who read the scans had to do icons with the names on them. I mean, I was tempted, but even if I had read the whole thing I certainly would not have posted the info anywhere.

Have three spoiler-free days!
