Regarding deathfic warnings...

I don't know whether there are any other people who think like me, but personally, I don't want to see deathfic warnings, or any other kind of warning, in a story. To me, a warning works like a spoiler. If someone dies, I don't want to have been informed in advance. I want it to hit me as the shocking experience that death really is.

I don't mean to disrespect everyone who has an aversion to deathfic, and wants to be forewarned so as to avoid it. But I do believe that my own opinion should be respected as well. I thought that the WHAM warning thread was a perfect idea, and that it could include deathfic warnings as well - or maybe we could make a new, 'Deathfic Warning' thread.

Or, another thought - what about posting warnings etc. IN THE END of the story? So, if someone wants to be forewarned, all they have to do is scroll down. If not, they can just read on.

See ya,

What we've got here is failure to communicate...
