I’ve decided to quit posting warnings on chapters of Stargate: Alchemy from now on.
It’s not that big an impact, really; after all,
aaaaaahz and I are writing a gen AU (of sorts), so it’s not as though any kind of sexual squick will sneak up and whack someone over the head. Still, it means that from now on I won’t be telling you (other than through the rating) whether anyone swears, or anyone dies, or any type of emotional intensity is present.
Why have I chosen to do this? Mainly, it was the influence of
this post, which I found through
metafandom. I’ve never been much for either political correctness, or being deliberately incorrect. Mainly, I just like to do my own thing in a way that suits me best. And, as
hth_the_first’s post reminded me, I like the element of surprise, and think our readers should have the benefit of it too.
This isn’t terribly controversial, I know, since we don’t have hundreds of readers hanging on every word. (Or if we do, hey, drop me a line! *g*) Still, I thought I should say something about why the warnings disappeared, in case anyone noticed.
