I came across this when trying to delete every link to Fan Fics. Posting here beacuse I know nothing about Fan Fics for the most part.

I remember a thread about this a while back, but I forget: should we have the trigger warning up there?

We don't do trigger warnings. If the description is suitably written — and it is — then it should be obvious whether reading further is a good idea. On the other hand, the description and examples should not be overly graphic — state the facts without excessive detail or opinionating.

Removing the trigger warning.

The Author Appeal entry and the third paragraph(starting at "unfortunately") are still overly opinionated. If somebody else can't rewrite them to be more neutral, I suggest we cut them.

Does this actually need a serious re-write? The description's pretty succinct. Just yank the more offending parts.

There. Might want to gank the Creator Backlash entry (I don't see how it's relevant, really), but other than that, not much to say is there?

Are there further issues or can we close this one? I'm all for fairness but for obvious reasons I'd rather we didn't... linger... on this particular page. It seems neutral enough now, except maybe the Creator Backlash entry which is about some other creator's backlash to this story.

There's one more fix needed: no spoilers should be present above the "Examples" line—and that's both marked and unmarked.

Zapped the Downer Ending line in the intro, slightly modified it in the examples.
