Re: Here via metafandom

After having thought about the various discussions in the last warnings debate, I've chosen to call out anything triggery (not that I write much that falls in that category) in the header, but not necessarily the warnings.

So I might do

Rating: NC-17 for kinks including: blood play knife play

I may choose to disguise the actual kinks with a highlight box to respect those that would rather go in without knowing.

Recently I saw a good suggestion that I plan on adopting. In the case of potentially triggery kinks like these, I would also add in the warnings.

Warning: Potentially triggery kinks; please see the highlight box in the ratings

That all being said, I would list Non-con under the warning section.

Of course, it's all a compromise, but I do think it creates a middle ground that informs the reader of things that may be important to them, while allowing other readers a chance to discover for themselves.
