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?

I want to second xerox78's comment. I know I'm selfish and all, but if someone on the community gets to find spoilers, it would be nice to post them in a locked, blacked out post, for us the unfortunate souls who have no idea when they'll manage to get the book at all and when they'll be able to go online. I'm flying to Greece on the 19-th; I'll be living in a small village for almost three months, and while I get that there will be many tourists and some copies of the book will probably be delivered there, I don't know whether I'll manage to get my hands on one or I'll have to wait for a possibility to get to Thessaloniki to buy the book. Also, for the same reasons, it would be nice to wait a week with the recaps, to give us poor devils a little time to find the book at all.
