F!S Anon Meme (the ??th)

Secrets, rants, opinions, anything you want to say about your fandom or a fandom or fandom in general, do it here! Anonymously, of course. Get it all off your chest.

Some ground rules:
1. Going anon is encouraged but not absolutely required (for those who struggle with recaptchas and stuff).
2. No autoplaying/autolooping embeds, or embeds that cover/stretch the screen.
3. No dropping personal info or IRL contact info, etc.

That's about it, though!

(Today's post is below.)

Fandom etiquette

[(Anonymous)]

If the source material is full of gore and disturbing things,do I actually have to warn for it when posting promo pics (that don't include plot spoilers) or can I expect people to be aware of the possibility that it might be disturbing?

that depends on the canon itself, i guess. like if you tell people to go watch hannibal (who is a character one would recognize even if they haven't seen the movies) they'll most likely be aware it could have disturbing content.

if it's something that at first glance wouldn't give off any vibes that it could be potentially disturbing and the summary is vague, then yeah i'd warn for gore and what not. what canon are you thinking of?

ahem,Hannibal actually.I was thinking about starting a community for it and I kind of want to be sure about those things.

I usually warn for any excessive violence that occurs in my works (like, anything worse than "character A shot character B" or "character A died from lues"), although the canon is quite disturbing at times. IDK, I suppose I could refrain from doing it, I don't think it's a big deal (unless you introduce a new form of trigger - say, rape or underage)

Where are you posting?

DW or LJ, maybe not, but if it's somewhere like Tumblr where the tagging system means you're likely to expose it to people outside of the fandom, I'd definitely tag for gore.
