I wonder if I'll still be around after this hits...I'm pretty darn close to leaving the fandom as it is...if they plunge another dagger in my heart... *sigh*

only 24 hours till it all ends! This is so bittersweet. But mostly sweet. Ugh, I really don't want this to end with a badly writtern book for kiddies. What were you thinking Nick? Also, please keep people with my mind set in mind. Please do not talk about the book outside the thread for and/or PMs. Be kind and think of your fellow man. Please.

The staff will be keeping an eye on things and deleting posts...and possibly warning and/or banning people who spoil others.

The Avatar series is epic and complex and would make a great novel. Just not months before the events being novelized air! The timing is all wrong. I don't know what I'm going to do. Even if I avoid DH, AvatarSpirit, TV Tropes, and the LJ communities, what if someone posts a spoiler as a comment to one of my fics at FF.net or on one of my videos on Youtube? I can just imagine someone commenting "Well, *this couple* gets together in the end, so hah-hah" or "Too bad *this character* dies/changes sides/etc"; they've done it all the time in the past.
I also feel sorry for the mods, who will obviously be spoiled if they have to delete any such posts around here. I know they like the story as much as the rest of us.
Well, when Harry Potter 7 came out, I avoided spoilers for a week before getting my hands on the book. Guess I'll just have to do that again... for two months.

Wow, so the book is out?! That's just crazy! I'm gonna have a real hard time resisting going to the spoilers board. Nick makes no sense at all anymore.
I wish I could get the book now, but I can't get to a B&N till the 25th so I'll just have to wait! Why must I have no will power when it comes to Avatar? I don't want to look, but I know I'm gonna! But of course, I'll still watch the darn thing when it airs. Like I said before, nothing ever happens quite like it does in the books, and seeing it comes out more awesome than anything you can picture in your head!

Yes, the episodes will still be exciting with the fight scenes and music and excellent voice acting and everything, and if it were any other episodes besides the finale, I would buy the book myself. But I don't want to know how the whole story ENDS until I get to see it for myself.
It's times like these that make you think about just how much time of your life is wasted online. Very depressing.

Ugh, I really don't want this to end with a badly written book for kiddies. Word. I'm going to have to check it out, though. If it were only for a week or so, I could do it, but spoilers won't hold for two months. What a way to end it. *shakes head* Somebody please tell me this was just a mistake, and not deliberate or simply negligent. Has anything similarly weird happened in other fandoms?

ya, know... a possibility haven't heard expressed, is that it is only shipped on the 9th, and arrives at the 14th/15th.
when I changed my order to 1day shipping, it changed from "shipping estimate: may9th" to "shipping estimate: may14" thats a 5 bisnuss day difference.
and, for the Items I have already received, there is a "Delivery estimate:" also, my order is still listed as "shipping soon" so if I have a three-five day shipping fee, and it still hasnt shipping yet, how is it getting here tomorrow?
... has anyone REALLY gotten their item shipped? as in, you can actually track its progress and see that it has shipped, shipped?

^^You know that is a good possibility Zen. I guess I was so flustered I didn't think of that. Maybe it did mean SHIPPING on the 9th. But I guess we'll find out later if the spoiler board is going nuts!!!

Mine as of this morning was in Knoxville, TN with scheduled delivery here in DC tomorrow sometime. I used my business account with amazon, so I get emailed tracking info. And yes, I ordered actual stuff for my business. Not just the avatar book...LOL
I hate to say it but I am not as upset over it as I was last night. Novelizations usually pale in comparison to the actual thing. And even if I get some spoilers, I think it'll just allow me to chill out, enjoy the remainder of the months until the actual finale, and be psyched for it and for comic-con.
I haven't decided yet if I am even going to look at it.
Besides, nothing compares to avatar on my big screen tv...LOL.
I'm an admin here. I accepted the fact a long time ago I was going to be spoiled.

Yay! Yesterday I bought "The Tale of Katara" on Amazon. I'm really happy about that and looking forward to it. I went with 2-Day-Shipping and I got it yesterday so will it be here by tmrw? Or the next day?
I can't wait! (:
