warnings

[roxy]

I happened to be thinking about this subject lately, so I was very surprised to see it's being knocked around. I'm thinking that yes, it's a good thing to warn people, and now that I see how it's possible to do so without spoiling your story or whatnot, I will. Most of my personal posts aren't really all that personal and if it is something extremely personal, I stuff it behind a cut, I also have filters, but doing that to a *story* (unless it's in tryouts--i do that sometimes) kind of defeats the purpose of posting it, right? So, remind me to do the warning thing from now on. You know I'm going to forget about a bazillion times before it becomes habit. Also, please don't rush to tell me why it's not a good idea, and how you'll never do it, because I don't care.

I have mixed feelings about warnings. In some ways they're spoilers but others...well I've read some fic that really SHOULD have had a few warnings. Things I would NOT read if I'd known about it going in.

But things like OFC...really, do we NEED a warning that there's an OFC?

Nah, but I totally get warning for a fic featuring BDSM, or non-con, or underage sex--the big ticket stuff. I never warn for incest in SpN because it's right there in my header, but I probably would (now) for Lucas/Lex, which almost always is non-con and really fucked up. Damn...I miss those boys.

Yeah that stuff should have a warning. Wincest kind of implies the Wincest. It has it in the name, but you never know. There are people that might not figure it out.

I miss a lot of fandom stuff too. Does summer make us nostalgic or something?
