I'm not so much an exclusively gen fan. I do like a lot of het and some slash/femmeslash.

That being said, I am so totally with you on the "a fic I thought was an excellent gen work..." part. I read through an entire fic and started on the sequel before I realized the author intended her series to develop into a slash pairing. There were going to be seven novel length fics based on a really interesting premise that I was excited about. I felt like I had been tricked.

I've felt the same way when a fic developed into slash unexpectedly, but in a pairing I didn't like. Any major unmarked pairings are just annoying.

When I started writing fic myself, I sometimes didn't warn for pairings that I only revealed/developed by the end of my fics. I'd come from original fiction, where to warn in advance for something like that would be a big no-no. It's a terrible spoiler and readers would hate you.

But fanfic is different. Other fic writers told me that readers wouldn't like it if I didn't warn, and they were right.

So I can understand why writers don't warn. It's not usual in other forms. But fanfic writers should. It comes with the territory, like it or not.

Nowadays I'm annoyed with original fiction because it DOESN'T warn for pairings and triggers. I often skim reviews to find them out first. I've found I prefer being warned. Although this worries me. Have I become so intolerant of danger, even in my fiction?
