“Not dead yet!”
Then I admit I'm confused about your previous comment. I was never talking about content in fic.
I think I still had in mind what connie, I think, had said, about being in the midst of writing and taking into account whether or not what she was writing would be potentially disturbing.
And the fact that I'm still on Sudafed and probably am bollocksing everything up.

I have a strong reaction (and nightmares) to anything involving animal abuse (just Dexter talking about it in the first episode turned me away from that series forever) and I am forever grateful that reviews warned me about (the movie) Amores Perros. So I can see why people would like a little warning if there's something graphic, but I can't imagine expecting an author to outline every single possibility of offensive/triggerish content.

Regarding that, I've been mulling and don't think it will change what I write. If there has to be blood, blood will flow. I think if there's a situation where I'm doubtful that the milieu make something obvious--if it's a Supernatural story, odds are there's going to be demons and attendant nastiness--I'll go with the whitefont warning. That way someone with a psyche the texture of boiled leather can ignore it and someone else can check to be sure.

The BSC appears to be warn for the Big Known Ones. There's not really a request for every author to warn for every known trigger.

That seems pretty reasonable then!
ETA: I've got no dog in this fight (npi) since I don't read fanfic.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

They sit on babies.
