Spoilerphobia

I have an urgent question about spoilers, y'all.



I wrote River Song fic.

RIVER SONG FIC.

But that's just the crazy, here's the question- is it a spoiler to put her name in the character list ? I'm just... nervous. About folks who haven't watched the episode yet.

HALP.

I think terming a character's name a spoiler, particularly a new character, is silly. You don't know ANYTHING about her from the name, not even her gender. But I'm sure there's someone floating around out there that thinks it's a horrible, no good, very bad spoiler, so maybe you could say 'the new character in episode 8?' Although that's unwieldy. And ooo, FIC!

Some people get a bit OTT over spoilers imo.

It's like, some people don't like using "The Doctor's Daughter" as a tag, because it's too "spoilery". HELLO!? THE BBC APPROVED THAT TITLE!!! IT IS NOT A SPOILER!!!

:o

Is it...shippy?

And I think that maybe if they haven't seen it, they wouldn't really know about her? Or if they're spoilerphobes.

I'm very curious... I'll read it.
