I can't think of a great example right now, but I wouldn't disagree with you about some stories requiring mystery in order to be enjoyed. It just seems like a lot of people avoid spoilers as a matter of course (the internet is full of people getting mad about the tiniest spoiled fact), when it's possible that they might be better off having things spoiled in the majority of cases.

Anyway I'm not really trying to argue that case myself, I just think it's an interesting thought, especially since it seems to agree with my personal preferences. :)

I agree it is case by case - 12/08/2011 09:08:25 PM 952 Views
I dunno. My personal experience leans the other way. - 12/08/2011 01:57:37 AM 909 Views
Yeah, I don't think it's for everyone. - 12/08/2011 02:51:19 AM 1209 Views

Spoilers don't spoil anything if the story is well-written. - 12/08/2011 04:25:44 AM 883 Views
And I agree with this too. - 12/08/2011 12:46:03 PM 964 Views

It depends on what you want to get out of a story - 19/08/2011 12:16:42 AM 939 Views
