I just read it and thought it was great - especially the last paragraph :D  But it did get me thinking, once more, about story summaries. Mine suck and I definitely need to learn how to write them - does anyone know of a site that helps one craft such a masterpiece?

I don't know, warnings are safe, I suppose that's why people go on using them. It's also a defence if someone flames you with the usal "OMG!!! They're not GAY! You're going to hell!!!!" etc, since you can say "It had a warning for slash on it and the pairing, not my fault if you read it anyway."

See I don't see Slash as a warning, it kinda should be a category...like the article says, walking into a book shop. If you want comedy you go to comedy section, Crime, etc. etc. I think a story should be labelled Slash, they can even put the pairing, just so the reader can chose to read that story or not. I don't think that is giving much away to the story...well, I suppose it depends on the story.

There should definitely be a warning for Nipple Rings lol! I was horrified! lol!
