As you say, we'd need to understand the MR rules position on that. It would seem to fall foul of the self-promotion guidelines. It also seems a little beyond the stated purpose of Writers' Corner:

There might be small give-aways, such as character names, locations, the mention of an event, but I don't think they need to be complete spoilers. If we need to discuss something that could be a grand spoiler, then... uh... just put those posts into spoiler tags. People reading the thread would be forewarned not to open those as there might be too much information in there.
With regard to self-promotion, I think we don't have to worry too much. Obviously, the process will draw some attention, but as long as the discussion is contained within one thread, I'm sure the MR crew won't have a problem with it.
It's a discussion on writing/editing/publishing, not an all-out promotion, after all. That can be done later, in the Promotions part of the forum.
