Ah! Sorry, I misunderstood! At the moment, some authors also put their WHAM warnings in the ToC, which is why I included that. If you look at the ToC for Yvonne's Clark Kent, This Is Your Life, you'll see the warning included there.
Ah, I see. One of the few authors who does her own TOC these days.
See? Out of the loop.
IMHO, this "wham thread" option accomodates both reader types.
I think you've just hit the nail on the head of why I'm dubious about this one, Anks. Yes, it does suit the readers. But what about the authors? I think I'd find myself uncomfortable with a definite rule that says authors
must provide warnings on their stories. Whether it's on the story itself or in a specific thread.
It's the idea of making this a fast and firm rule which authors must obey that's bothering me, I think. Rather than leaving it up to personal choice and the discretion of the author. There are authors who don't like providing warnings, as Wendy says in her introduction to the poll. But none of the options in the poll cater for this - i.e. "No, I don't want to have to post warnings - I want to make it my choice."
Actually, I think the real problem for me is that I just really don't believe in warnings. Period. They offend me deeply. <g>
I'm sure I'm in the minority on this one though - so you can safely ignore my rambling on it and work out a solution that best suits everyone else.
