Coalie in Post-DeadlineLand

[coalcube]

Coalie was beginning to get very tired of waiting for their gift to be posted, and of having nothing to shake: once or twice they had peeped into the tags of the fic their dentist had been gifted, but it had no characters or freeforms on it, "and what is the use of a fic," thought Coalie, "without ships or tags?"

Re: "Creator chose not to use archive warnings"

[(Anonymous)]

Speaking as someone who uses that tag a lot (and did it for my gift), I do it as a sort of "Warning: I'm choosing not to warn about ANY potential issues, not just the core archive ones". Sometimes I may still tag a fic with "blood" or "PTSD" or other things people might want to filter out, but I see "Chose not to use archive warnings" as a sort of catch-all/cover my bases.

Actually, now that I'm thinking about it, I feel like there was a time when that tag was just "Choose not to warn", which made it easier to interpret it that way. Maybe that was just in my head, though, or based on people describing it like that on sites like Fandom Secrets.

So maybe other people think like I do?

Re: "Creator chose not to use archive warnings"

It's always been specific to archive warnings on AO3! Partly because they will actually enforce that - if you say no archive warnings apply but there is death, rape, violence, of underage, they will go in and switch the warning to choose not to use archive warnings for you (even if you warn in freeforms.) They don't do that for literally anything else.

Pre-AO3 a lot of fic posting communities used just Choose Not to Warn as a standard, though.
