I've got to say when I saw the warning and then that is was from you my eyes might literally have looked like O_o
...Because out of all the writers that have warnings I don't think are needed/deserved/whatever I never would have expected to see you do that. Then I clicked the link and it made a bit more sense.

I especially don't understand 'warning' for slash when the couple in question is canon. I would think in pretty much all cases just putting a pairing up would clear up any questions even when non-canon. Warning for it? Not right.

I actually literally felt queasy when I was typing it. :/

seeing that warning made me double take and click on the link to here, sadly though, I've seen the same warning elsewhere :/

reading your full notes here, I agree with your points completely - I have only ever warned for slash once, and that was because the comm mods made me - I really wish I could think of something more than that to say - but I think you've said pretty much all that needs to be said :)

I saw your author's notes first.

The warning led me to be quirked and intrigued, and I clicked right away because I knew you'd be discussing the bigotry-in-warnings issue, because you're you.

I should probably go read the story.

Well, I think that you're fundamentally a bad person. I did enjoy the fic though. He always keeps his promises indeed.

Did you go to grab some popcorn and think about how badly this would end?
