Oct. 29th, 2002 01:52 pmOn the Zendom multifandom list, there's a discussion of warnings, and it's been brought up that there are fandoms and lists where authors have to provide warnings for all things that happen in the fic which might disturb a reader. As I pulled from one fansite, "This is where you post the reason for your story's rating and list anything that you think could potentially offend or disturb readers - violence, implied sex, strong language, etc..."
So, to help the fandom, I have created a warning for Goblet of Fire. I know I'm missing some important plot points, but at least it's a start.
Deaths of one character in the same chapter in which he first appears, death of an underage character at unexpected moment, described murder of adult character by his son, many het pairings at dance and other school activities, at least three het adult pairings, one pairing involving a gender-unspecific character dancing with a character who has only one leg and an eye that can see through clothing (both injuries occurred in backstory), one naked underage character in bathtub being watched by underage ghost, one adult character steps naked from a large cauldron and is robed by another male character, one character engages in self-mutilation in manner which might be similar to cutting, multiple transformations of characters into animals, including one noncon transformation which includes underage character being bounced from floor to ceiling, one scene takes place in graveyard, underage character is tied to tombstone and subjected to bloodletting, underage character and other character battle with wands, a spider is killed, four characters are made unconscious and tied to a rock under a lake, one character makes possibly sexually harrassing joke about "Uranus", one het hug and various het kisses, verbal and physical assaults via mail on female character, imprisonment of antagonist character in beetle form, hero and friends cause three underage characters to become unconscious, much consumption of sweets and nonalcoholic drinks, some alcoholic beverages mentioned and consumed (off page) by horses, consumption of slightly alcoholic beverages by nonhuman character to the point of drunkenness, noncon levitation of minor characters (including forcible showing of one such character's undergarments), assault via food on underage character, enslavement of dozens, if not hundreds, of minor characters...
So? Who wants to add more warnings?
