"Because someone is bound to complain about tags in the comments, I am purposely choosing to use this tag to let you know I am in fact aware there's stuff in here I didn't tag for whatever reasons of my own - and, importantly, to let you know it was not a mistake and I'm not gonna bother fussing with tags even if you complain about it, so don't bug me"

The purpose of the tag is to deliver the above message to people like you

[tei]

The purpose is to communicate that you are not going to warn, not sure what there is to get.

Despite that, I don’t think you’re the only one very loudly “not getting” it.

[(Anonymous)]

I sometimes use it bc I'm not entirely sure where the story will go.

[(Anonymous)]

If you are using the warning system, then there is an expectation that your fic will either have a warning, or will not have warnable content. So for instance, if your fic has a major character death, then it should have a "major character death" warning. If your fic does not have a "major character death" warning, then a reader can reasonably expect that there is no major character death in the fic. So the lack of a "major character warning" tag communicates something about the fic to the reader.

If you are someone who simply does not want to use warnings, for whatever reason, then this system breaks down. So the "no warnings" warning is basically a way of saying: "the lack of warning tags on this fic is not an indicator of the content of the fic one way or another; you should not assume that warnable content does note exist."

Some people use it on their longfic to prevent spoiling plot twists and the like. Some people, like me lmao, have no idea whether the violence in their fic counts as graphic so chucks it under "Choose Not To Warn" just to be safe.

[feotakahari]

I used it because I wasn’t sure how long after canon I wanted to set it, so I didn’t know whether or not the ship qualified for the “underage” warning.

[(Anonymous)]

Here are some things it can be used for:

1. Author wants to avoid spoilers (this does NOT necessarily mean the story contains one of the big four. For example, I've used it on suspense fics where the main characters did NOT die, but I wanted the reader to worry that they might. Lack of an MCD warning would have been a spoiler for their survival)

2. Author can't decide if the violence is graphic enough, or that dead character major enough, or that dub-con close enough to the non-con line to merit one of the four required warnings, so they just decide to leave it in the grey area

3. Author doesn't like the concept of content warnings in general and wants to appeal only to readers willing to take their chances.

4. Author and a reader has a disagreement about whether a certain archive warning was necessary.

I'm sure other people can think of many, many more. It's a very useful tool for authors in a variety of circumstances.

[(Anonymous)]

Ultimately, for readers it means "read at your own risk, this could contain *anything*".

[(Anonymous)]

I don't understand why this is so hard to get for some people.

[(Anonymous)]

I have actually always wondered that (it doesn't bother me personally, I've reached a point where very little shocks me fiction-wise so as long as the summary is interesting enough for me then I might give it a go)

Dumb question; but if you exclude certain tags would it also exclude the choose not to warn?

[(Anonymous)]

When I first started using AO3, I kept clicking on that tag because I confused it with the other one ("No archive warnings apply"). An online friend asked why I kept using it when there wasn't anything that I needed to warn for in my fics and I felt like such a moron when she (very nicely) explained the difference between the two.

I dunno anything about this, BUT - an author I trust/like started writing some Jason Todd fic, and I started reading it 'cause they are awesome, and now I'm a fan (albeit casual).

Sometimes, something just grabs you and...there you go. :D

I don't know who he is, but I'm happy for him. It sounded like a fast -paced upload rate.

Maybe I have to see it in action to be persuaded. That Mr. Hyde seems good both in makeup work and costuming to me. But then again, I forgot how Hasselhoff's voice sounds. If he has a hunky voice, then I could see that being distracting lmao.

Tell me something good

Something good that happened to you or someone you know. Anything.

Today my cat curled up next to me and used his front paws to pull my hand up to him so he could snuggle his face into it. Small, but good. ♥
