Thirty Days of Fandom Writing: Day Fifteen

[lanalucy]

Warnings: What do you feel it most important to warn for, and what's the strangest thing you've warned for in a fic?

I might have a tendency to overtag or warn for too many things rather than too few.

Getting hit by a trigger when reading a fic is not a fun experience, and I'd feel more than a bit like leaving someone after a scene with no aftercare, and that's just not right.

The person reading has the best idea what triggers he or she has, and I warn for them. If I'm not sure, I post a link to AO3 and tag the frak out of it there, and let the reader decide.

As far as the strangest thing? I don't know. I don't freewrite tags, so if it's something weird, I'd probably put it in the summary or opening notes.

Yeah o_o That's like the worst thing >.>

And so, I tag freely and liberally.

ALways better to overdo than underdo, IMO

[lanalucy]

That's my tagging philosophy, for sure.
