To spoil or not to spoil...

[ash48]

I think it's handy knowing the spoiler tolerance level of my darling flist. Some of you I know... but some of my new friends *waves* I'm not sure about. So....a simple poll.

I don't usually care about spoilers for shows, but when it comes to SPN I've found that actively avoiding spoilers makes me enjoy the show more. In fact, getting spoiled significantly decreases my enjoyment of an episode. I like being surprised every week.

I also find that, in spoiler discussions, fans inevitably see the worst in what is, at best, incomplete information. They leap to conclusion and wail and gnash their teeth and rend their garments, and it's usually for naught. This plays a HUGE role in lessening my enjoyment of the episode, having to deal with a week or more's worth of "Oh GOD they are RUINING the show FOREVER!!11!1!!" from fellow fans.

So I steer clear of spoilers and anyone who is discussing them, because it invariably harshes my squee.

Make sense?

YES YES YES!

This is me! I LOVE being surprised and I HATE all the gnashing of teeth over spoilers. I'm even feeling guilty of doing some gnashing myself but I've turned it all around and just gone... SQUEEEE! I can't wait...

And then I'm back to completely avoiding spoilers. Show IS more enjoyable that way...<3
