Question re: Deathly Hallows.

[q-spade.livejournal.com]

Good Peoples of DTCL:

Soon Deathly Hallows will be released and the majority of community members will be reading it. Some of us will be at a bookstore at midnight queuing up for a copy, other folks will have it delivered via mail-order, some intrepid souls will seek out the text online the day of release, and others will be haggling with the shady streetcorner bookseller dude for a cheap "fell-off-the truck-YEAH-RIGHT" copy. ;D

Invariably there'll be a reaction post here on DTCL right after the release date (if not the day of) so we can get our love/hate/WTF on, but I was wondering when would be a good time to start recapping the chapters. There's also the matter of spoilage to deal with; not only do different people read at a different pace, but if various countries have alternate release dates then that's also important to keep in mind. DTCL is a global community, after all. :)

What is everyone most comfortable with? Do we want to coordinate so that everyone who wants to recap starts at the same time? Or might that be too overwhelming?

What do you all think?

Ooh, seconded. I like the idea of a general reaction post!

The way I envision it is like this: someone will post their reactions, people will comment with their reactions, we'll have 500 comments in the post and nobody can keep up with what's going on. It'll be fun.

Sounds good! I need a place where I can flail about and cradle my shattered illusions. :-)
