Welcome to the gates of the Forest of Illusions, where we peek into the grand realms inspriration from across the planes. Where the bars of faint music drift, and the ideas from hundreds are to be found around every corner. Keep in mind, though, you are not the only one here...
1. First, if you think that your thread will be discussing critical, surprising, or otherwise mysterious plot elements of the story, SAY SO! It should be enough to simply state that the thread will have spoilers in it by including that in the Subject line.
2. If you are in a thread that does NOT have the spoiler tag, and you wish to say something that would tell parts of the storyline, SAY SO! Give fair warning, before you put it in your post. One of the best ways to do this is to have the words "SPOILERS AHEAD!!!" in noticeable lettering, then do a quick summery of your spoiler, so others reading will be able to tell if they already know the following information. Try to use vague descriptions here, so it doesn’t reveal more spoilers… You also may want to include some nice paragraph spaces so that they can skip past that section if needed.
3. NO FLAMING. This area is for mutual discussion of beloved topics. Do your best to keep this in mind when/if someone disagrees with your position.
4. Remember, normal Temple rules apply to the Garden. Try to keep those in mind, along with the above, and you should do fine here.
And last, here’s an example for you.
Subject: Jaws (spoilers!)
Topic: Jaws was such a cool movie! I especially like some of the later scenes.
SPOILERS AHEAD – How they deal with Jaws at the end of the movie.
It was really neat how he thought to use that oxygen tank. Jamming into that sharks mouth; I be he was surprised! That was an awesome move!
END SPOILERS
All in all, I was impressed. You should totally see this movie!
