Re: Surprise me

The problem with detailed warnings under a cut is that, as soon as I click the link, I see the warnings anyway! You'd have to make two cuts, one for the warning, and another for the fic.

I really, really hate spoilers. Be as vague as you can. If you are someone whose writing I enjoy, I want to enjoy the story, your vision, and your skill as you tell the tale. I don't want to be warned about something that might happen. The last time I read one of my favorite WIPs, I was mad because I knew a certain character was going to die by the chapter's end. PHAW! It's like going into the second Star Wars movie knowing who Luke's father is.

I realize that I'm very much in the minority here, and won't win this battle. But less is better, in my opinion.
