Bastards!! Maybe the spoiler was a fake???

[rmjwell.livejournal.com]

Okay, who needs to be hurt in a wholly non-consensual manner?

[rm.livejournal.com]

I managed to averty my eyes quickly and didn't follow the links for the details/verification. The one piece of information I care about I avoided details on, which is the most important thing for me.

[rm.livejournal.com]

If i tell you the user name it spreads the spoiler.

[redwitch.livejournal.com]

Oh, I'm sooooo sorry!!!!!

[rmjwell.livejournal.com]

Wow, that's really evil. And as a sales and marketing professional, I know evil.

What a fuckwit.

[featherofeeling.livejournal.com]

Why? Why do people do this? :/ I'm glad you didn't find out anything about Snape (I assume), but you've inspired me to be a little more careful this week. Hope it was a fake, anyway.

[coyotegoth.livejournal.com]

I really can't believe people are doing this shit.

[rm.livejournal.com]

I won't even say what I found out as I'm afraid I'll spread the news by accident. But be careful out there!

[rm.livejournal.com]

My former career. Oh yes.

[tsarina.livejournal.com]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[rm.livejournal.com]

I am weeping on your shoulder virtually right now.

[rm.livejournal.com]

(not a content statement, just that it happened)

[clothing5.livejournal.com]

Was it malicious or just stupid?

[fuyukodachi.livejournal.com]

I highly recommend removing every single community from your reading filter, regardless of whether or not they have anything to do with HP, and if you read any forums, to avoid them.

It's the only way we've found.

[rm.livejournal.com]

Malicious.

[rahalia-cat.livejournal.com]

It was bound to happen, because some people derive their enjoyment out of spoiling things for others, and have done so ever since they were very small and pulling other girls' hair in class.

Unless it was a lucky guess then I doubt very much it was genuine. You could probably count on the fingers of one hand the number of people who have had the chance to read the book or who have been told what happens: JKR herself, agent, editor and possibly publisher. I doubt that even anyone at the printers knows, in this day of electronic publishing.

Mind you, even the national newspapers are at it. On my f-list yesterday was a headsup that part of the first chapter had been printed in one of the UK daily broadsheets (and therefore would probably have been in the online edition, too) so I think unless you avoid the internet wholly, you're going to run into problems.

Maybe create a new and temporary default LJ reading filter and put only those you trust on it, until the book is out?

[rm.livejournal.com]

Yeah.

The thing is I was spoiled for Book 6 with a scan of the book on LJ 5 days before its release, so I know it can happen, hence my alarm.

[rahalia-cat.livejournal.com]

Eurgh. I'd hoped, because of its importance, that the final book would have had more security surrounding it. Oy!

[izzerwurst.livejournal.com]

dude it was totally fake.. seriously.. just keep that in mind whenever you come across a spoiler.. fake or not it shouldn't really ruin the experience of reading dh

[rm.livejournal.com]

OKay. I'm still spooked because I was spoiled fo rthe tower scene in Book 6 by a scan on the Internet a few days before.

[izzerwurst.livejournal.com]

yea that really sucks.. still, if i see something like that, i will try and convince myself that it was fake.. just do my best to disregard it.. people fucking suck though

[izzerwurst.livejournal.com]

i just got 'spoiled' by a friend request.. i think it's a good idea to tell people to take 'harry potter' out of their lj interests to avoid this sort of thing..

i wonder if i can report this sort of thing..

[tommx.livejournal.com]

Arg, I'm sorry. I had the Order of the Phoenix spoiled for me by a loose lipped deejay, but this would definitely be worse.

I may just avoid all media once the book comes out until I've had a chance to read it.

[magnetgirl.livejournal.com]

I just saw a usericon in the WTF community that had "_______ dies in book 7" text on a pink background. Just letting you know as I'm blocking the community from my friends list now till the book comes out and I read it...

I f'in hate people sometimes.

[rm.livejournal.com]

I basically saw a whole list, and I've had it "confirmed" from two unconnected sources. So I think it was true.

[lawnrrd]

Let me know if you need help getting rid of the body.

[izzerwurst.livejournal.com]

[featherofeeling.livejournal.com]

Thank you!! I saw this right before clicking on the other. (And now I see that Racheline posted about this, but I would have been spoiled first if you hadn't said something.) That's it--I'm staying offline until I'm finished.

I hope you weren't too spoiled by it...? :/

Re: Don't read the comment by jamieanthony/anonymous

[izzerwurst.livejournal.com]

nah i don't even think it's true (*convinces herself it's not true*)

[rahalia-cat.livejournal.com]

Thanks, but I already know what happens. Luckily, I'm not even into the HP series (never read a single book, actually; only ever watched the first two movies), but I did make a point of reading all the spoilers, just out of curiosity.

Sorry. Hope that didn't spoil your fun.

Re: Don't read the comment by jamieanthony/anonymous

[rahalia-cat.livejournal.com]

Thank you. I've already read all of the spoilers elsewhere anyway, just out of curiosity (I'm not really into the series; I'm more irritated as a writer myself about little twerps ruining the fun for others) but I'm sure RM appreciates the headsup :O)

Re: Don't read the comment by jamieanthony/anonymous

Thank you so much for this! I actually missed all of that asshat's stupidity, but I really appreciate you lookin' out for a fellow fan ;)
