Question for readers ...

[hemrage]

I've finally put the rest of my plan for 'Desperate Times' down on paper, rather than letting it sit in my head. The process made me think that maybe, just maybe, you're going to want more warnings for future chapters. My problem is that I see these warnings as spoilers for the story and I, if I was in your position, wouldn't want them. But what do you think?

I'm asking you your opinion here. Will having warnings for specific events/situations spoil your enjoyment? I know that it's possible to 'white out' warnings, but I've been tripped up by this in the past as I've used the style=mine option on previous journals and have seen whited out warnings because my background was black...

Anyway - over to you ...

I much prefer warnings, because somethings can be serious triggers and I do adore this series, but I think warnings allow for informed consent in a way that leaving them out doesn't. If you're uncomfortable putting them under a white-out (which I've never had difficulty with even on my dark background), then maybe you could put them a few lines below the end of the fic and just tell us where they are so we can scroll down and read them before we start reading.

This is the white-out html that I've used in the past, which seems to work well on all backgrounds, just remove the asterisks(*): <*span style="color: #ffffff; background-color: #ffffff"*>Whited-Out Text<*/span*>

I'll give the coding a whirl - see if I can make it work without messing it up.

Thank you.
