2014 Pinn & Kinn Big Bang - Policy on Warnings

Jul 16, 2014 23:44

The purpose of a warning on a fic is to let the readers know what they are getting before they click on the link/cut tag. Some subject matter is very triggering for certain readers, while other subject matter simply falls outside the purview of the types of stories that readers enjoy and feel comfortable reading.

The following must be included in the warnings if they are present in your fic: child abuse (physical, emotional, or sexual); domestic abuse/violence; incest; non-con/dub-con, including statutory; sex involving characters below the age of consent; graphic violence; suicide/suicidal ideation/self-harm; and major character death (whether or not that death is canonical). If your fic contains these situations and you do not warn for them, you’ll be given an opportunity to update your header, after which time your fic will be deleted.

We strongly suggest you include warnings for the following: Minor character death (whether or not that death is canonical); kinks (BDSM, slave, bloodplay, breathplay, scat, etc. - if it’s something you’d prompt on the kink meme, consider warning for it); mpreg; underage drug/alcohol use; substance abuse of any nature; and mental health issues.

It is never necessary to warn for top/bottom/switch/versatile characters in any gleekmods-run big bang, regardless of the character or the fandom’s tropes or biases about that character. It is also not necessary to warn for sexual content, regardless of of the characters' sexes and/or genders; the explicitness of sexual content should be taken into account when rating the fic.

Thank you all for your cooperation and for keeping the pinnkinnbigbang a safe space for readers!
