Post about fandom! Or whatever! Whether it's a rave about some obscure series, or an essay dissecting every last reason why some internet-famous author should rethink their career, someone will probably read it at some point! We also just chat about life.

Date: 2022-09-02 11:16 am (UTC)it would be better (though tbh I don't like that practice either, I'm at the far end of not warning hahahaha-- but up to the individual! there need to be both fics with warnings and fics with no warnings in the world, imo). the issue with the fic I was looking at was that the warnings came at the start of each chapter and the chapters were very short. so even though it wasn't like the flow of the chapter itself was interrupted to go:
A/N: TRIGGER INCOMING AT THIS BIT!!!
... it felt like that. If the chapters were a bit longer it might have been possible to go 'okay, I'm fine with this' at the start and then forget what you'd been warned for over the course of reading. But nope!
The other issue I have is that it can make you respect the author less, because you see what they think needs warning for and what they don't, and it might not accord with your own priorities.

Date: 2022-09-02 11:18 am (UTC)oh also I didn't like that the language used was 'content warning', not even 'trigger warning'. it offends me as an artist but i cba to articulate it. :P and am sure the discussion has been had a million times anyway.
