Just wondering ('cause I can't be the only one):

[capri0mni]

Is there a website or some general place to go, for those rare birds, like myself, who actually want spoilers for stories and things?

I actually like knowing how a story will end before I begin, so I can sit back and enjoy the way a story is told, without worrying if it will all go in a direction I Do Not Want.

Is there a "Please Spoil Me" Database or some such out there?

If it's something like a novel popular enough for Wikipedia, there are often summaries with hefty spoilers in them there. Not so much trigger warnings, though.

Yeah... sometime recently (forget which day), smw was saying how good it would be if book publishers had the same conventions about content warnings in the information on their books' jackets that online fiction archives do, for amateur writing-- Not just for considerations of triggers, but also interests.

I think that's a good idea, myself. I'd also like cilantro warnings in bottled sauces, come to think of it. Just telling me it has "herbs and spices" doesn't really help me decide if I'll like the taste.

I'd like warnings on restaurant doors that their food is handled with latex gloves...

ooh. Yes. Not having allergies myself (to anything I deliberately put in my mouth ... so far), I wouldn't have thought of that. But now that you mention it, it's obvious.

There is! I've read one for movies called something like "How did it end?" I'll try and remember what the URL was if you can't find it easily. I looked for it because I walked out of 21 and tried to sort out the ending.

I knew there had to be! After all, attitudes towards spoilers vary greatly from culture to culture. And the Internet isn't just for America and Friends (I heard an interview on the radio I-dunno-ago, where the guest said that in Saudi Arabia, it's considered rude not to tell your friends whether a movie ends happy or sad, at the very least).
