You know what, tags might actually be useful. I'm pretty good at deciding what's worth reading and what's not by looking at the AO3 tags, but not so much by reading book summaries (which are sometimes better than the actual book).

And sometimes so, so much worse.

though those tags would probably also be decided by the publisher and thus be barely more useful than the summaries

[tabaqui]

This.

Fucking great secret

I think about that sometimes too. Then I realized most of the fandom fiction I read is pure cliche guilty pleasure shit that revolves around my ships whereas I enjoy books that are more plot and mystery centric that ideally involve minimal romance.

I realized I probably wouldn't have read those books if I found them on ao3, which kinda makes me sad.

I read a book years ago that I don't even remember the title to or most of what happened in it, it was so forgettable. What I do remember is that it was supposed to be a story set in an oriental style world about a girl that could create magic with origami. Should have been interesting - wasn't. But there was a scene in it that came out of nowhere where she was captured and a soldier forced her to put his 'flesh flute'(seriously I distinctly remember that was the term used) in her mouth so she had to pleasure him. There had been no hint about sexual things up to that point, willing or otherwise. I don't even remember any vague romantic plots. Physical intimacy of any kind seemed entirely off the table. But suddenly here I was in the middle of reading about a forced blowjob without having seen it coming.

And then it never came up again or had any bearing on the story at all from that point on until the boring, boring end of the book. Nothing else sexual ever happened. Just - surprise!blow job (er 'flute playing') and then the story went on its drudging way as usual. (I think she gave the dragon at the end some paper cranes to keep it company at the bottom of the ocean and I remember thinking - someone should point out the whole paper vs. water thing to the author)

Years later when I got into AO3 and other places where fanfiction warned for things like that I came to the decision, thanks specifically to that book and its pointless non-con scene, that one of the reasons fanfic organization is so much better than professional publishing is the tag system.

I think the book is called Paper Mage (I own it and I remember surprise non-con randomly happening towards the middlish/end)

ayrt

just went and looked at the cover. e-yep. That's the one. Thank you. Now I've actually got a title I can add to my list of 'never read this' recommendations.

Tess of d'urbervilles is the other book on that list.

NGL, there's some books I wish had tags. I never would've read Push by Sapphire if I knew how hardcore and explicit the CSA was going to be, for example.
