I don't know about you, but I consider 'death' to be a spoiler, not a warning.

If someone labels their fic with it, I'd be highly inclined not to read it, despite the fact that I have nothing against death in fics.

This reminds me of those hilarious-but-probably-untrue anecdotes (circa 1998) of people getting upset because someone told them that at the end of Titanic, the boat sinks.

Isn't it enough that the character dies, or does it really need to be a big shock?

(Also, "character death," doesn't generally reveal WHO dies or why.)


And no, personally, I don't really consider ANYTHING in the warnings/notes/summary to be "spoilers," in any true sense, unless they're actually spoiling part of the canon.

Fanfic where a character dies is just a fan's, "what if?" scenario. If I read a deathfic, that's WHY I'm reading it - I want to see that author's interpretation of that particular what-if.

But it can't be a spoiler to me if it's not canon. It's deathfic - the character hasn't ACTUALLY died in canon. There's nothing to spoil.

[identity profile] relmneiko.livejournal.com 2008-07-21 05:08 am (UTC)(link)
Fanfic creates its own canon, and it can make its own twists and turns. A spoiler is a spoiler, no matter where it comes from. And a death can be part of a fic without the fic being ABOUT the character's death.

(also, if a fic is labeled A/B deathfic, it's pretty obvious that either A or B is going to die.)

Personally speaking, death is the one thing I never label in my own fics, and I've gotten some good reactions out of it, so I figure I'm doing something right.
