That is the one I have the biggest problem with for just that reason!! I tend to only check it if there are going to be multiple character deaths, so that even if the reader knows going in that someone's going to die, it's not obvious who. I checked it for Secrets of the Heart because I knew I was going to kill off several characters, but I did not check it for Curtain Call because then everyone would have known right away that Nick was a goner LOL.
I don't mind the other warnings; like Steph said, they're a good way to let people know if your story's going to contain something they're not comfortable with, like graphic violence or sex (especially for younger readers). But the ratings kind of serve the same purpose; they're just more general. Like if something's rated R, you can assume it's because there's violence or sex or just inappropriate language.
I rarely even look at the ratings or warnings when I'm looking for something to read. I'm not easily offended, so there's really nothing that's off-limits to me. If it sounds like a good story, I'll read it no matter what it's rated.
mare:
What Julie posted awhile ago with the plane falling on someone and crushing his kidneys is the reason for these questions lol
I thought this might be fun. Answer with your OWN stories! lol
Craziest storyline?
The dumbest plot?
The most unique?
Weirdest name for a character?
Biggest inaccuracy?

Something you wish you could take back?
Story you cringe when you find out someone has read it?
Story you'd wish everyone would read already!
Most impulsive story?

Haha, I love this! I will be back to answer it when I'm not brain dead.
Rose:
I will be back to answer soon but I'll add in a question since on TDS someone tried to throw my fanfic at me like I should be ashamed or something...
Has anyone (online) tried to make you feel embarrassed/ashamed of writing fanfic? Why did you feel that way if it worked?
