A little off topic from your actual secret, but... I don't really understand this mindset that people cannot bring themselves to read a fic without knowing tons of information about it first. I get personal preferences and limited reading time and all that. That's a dilemma every bookworm has had to face. But acting like oh gosh, the idea of risking disappointment by a story is so very, very awful and life-wrecking that they just can't do it, etc. is... kind of funny.

Having a panic attack might not be life-wrecking, but it can certainly be day-wrecking.

With most fiction, there are a lot of clues, starting with the genre, to figure out if there is going to be something in the book that might trigger you. Or if you're not sure, there are book review sites, or communities like goodreads where you can find out that information.

Fanfiction? Not so much. You can't check the cover to see if it's in bright primary colors with a cat sniffing a gun, or if it's a darker, more gruesome image.

That's why the warnings culture has evolved around fanfiction; we don't have any other way to tell.

the only thing I want to know about a fanfic before reading is if it includes 1. death, 2. cheating, and 3. if my OTP stays/gets together.
