The trigger warning that really annoys me is character death. Not so much if it happens within the first chapter or so, but long gen fics that follow canons where characters have been known to die?

I recently read an older fic where one character had a terminal illness and it waffled back and forth between whether he'd find a cure or not before he finally died. And it had me invested in what would happen in a way that was so beautiful and would've totally be ruined if it'd said "WARNING: CHARACTER DEATH."

Not to mention that I like to write stories where characters kick the bucket and I'm always torn between warning for the people who want it and trying to be vague for readers who don't want to know everything going in.

I've seen people have the warnings section (and they did it the same way for *all* their fics, even those with no warnings) as spoiler-text - so those who worried about triggers could highlight to check, and those who wanted to be surprised could skip it.

And those who then whined about how they didn't REALIZE they were supposed to highlight the text with the big word WARNINGS: in front of it could sit on a self-referential cactus.
