A highlight to see spoilers kind of solution might be a middle ground that would satisfy everyone. That way nobody would be forced to see spoilers that they don't want to see, and anybody who wanted to see the warnings could see them.

Of course that would still leave the question of what is a good/bad ending. Is everything that isn't a purely 100% happy ending automatically a bad/sad ending? Would that include mixed or open endings? Bittersweet endings? Endings in which one character was sad and another character happy? If it breaks the ship is it automatically a bad/sad ending?

I've written a number of things that I have no idea what I'd say if I was asked if the ending was happy or sad. Is "both" an acceptable answer? "Neither"?
