I have a story up on AO3 with a "rape/non-con" archive warning. Today, I received a (very polite and not at all flamey!) comment remarking that the rape was difficult to read, and that a trigger warning might have been a good idea.

Incidentally, I also thought that a trigger warning would be a good idea for this story. That's why I used the archive warning.

Now I'm wondering - did the reader overlook the warning, or did she feel there should have been another warning within the text itself to mark the passages in question? I suspect I'm not entirely up to date on the eternal "warnings" discussion.

I have a bad habit of not reading what my mind sees as headlines / titles, so I overlook the archive warnings sometimes because they're bolded. I'd check before commenting though!

Heh - that's one way of looking at it. *g*

If I actually was in danger of being triggered, I'd probably be a lot more careful.

I don't have any triggers, but there are fandoms (and moods) which make me dislike reading deathfic, and when a major character dies in the end I get mad about that only to scroll up and see.... right, there it is. In bold, even! And I only have myself to blame. Not too bad, but annoying.

I'm also incredibly bad at remembering fic titles for the same reason.
