Awwww! Thanks sweetie! I'm in the middle of a massive LJ catch-up, so even if I've not commenting, I'm still following and paying attention.

I signed up for this years Remix and then Had to put together an actual, up-to-date comprehensive Master List. It would have been a lot easier if I'd been consistently and intelligently tagging from day one, instead of the unbelievable inconsistent and haphazard way I went about it.

[vanillafluffy]

I wondered about your burst of industry. My system isn't quite so organized; I've got everything tagged as "author: vanillafluffy", and I'm pretty sure it's everything I've ever posted on LJ. There's an arseload more at the Pit, most of it predating my arrival here. AO3 isn't even remotely comprehensive, mostly because I can't face all that cutting and pasting, to say nothing about WARNING for anything and everything. *eyeroll*

In going through everything, I was kind of taken aback by stories that went up with far less warning then they would require today. I had one from the "I'm on speed" episode, where Wilson ended up doing Chase in the men's room. If I put that up now, I'd probably have to warn for dub-con on Wilson's part (since he was under the influence) and put a bunch of trigger warnings on it as well.

[vanillafluffy]

So it's not just me who thinks the tale is wagging the dog as far as all this warning crap goes? I'm at the point where the word "trigger" is, well, triggering.

Oh yeah, babe. Clearly there are things that need to be warned for and yes, some people have triggers. AND people need to take a certain amount of responsibility for themselves. If a trigger in a fanfic has the potential to mess you up that badly, maybe you just shouldn't be reading fanfic, because the internet is never going to bubble-wrap itself enough to keep you completely safe..

I know, it can be legit, but sometimes it's beyond ridiculous. Like, if you're drunk when you have sex with a shape-shifter, is it rape because you can't consent? Or because the person you're having sex with isn't who you think they are? What if the shape-shifter is impersonating your sibling? Is it incest because of your intent, or not, if the shifter is playing headgames with you? Oh wait, it's FICTION.
