For those of you who do not know what an ARC is: it's an "advanced readers copy" of the novel. It's the book in all its entirety (that is from chapter 1 to chapter 24) that is printed up for booksellers/bookreviews/etc to read prior to the official release of the novel. Predominantly, the only difference between the ARC and the final version is errors like formatting, errors that are a product of the copy-editing process, that kind of thing.
So...the ARC is in all essence the finished product from start to finish.
Therefore, if you don't want to know what happens in the novel do NOT look at the spoiler thread that has been set up.
I know this probably isn't the most ideal way of going about this, but we've decided it's probably the safest way.
Once the book is officially released in October then the forum will be open slather and you can happily post as many threads as you like.
In the meantime: any thread started that contains spoilers past Chapter 1 of AATE will be deleted.
Sorry to lay down the law....
We loves ya!
