Even the most practise can't give you a 12 inch penis lol Soooo I think he still has a lot to live up to when it comes to people who put their expectations into fic form

Warnings do not turn me off or on to a story since I'm against censorship and ratings of stories to begin with.  I understand the ratings online since you don't have areas to call stories Children's, Young Adult or Adult...

But yeah a Mary Sue warning would be GRAND!

In real life, where "books" exist, you don't know whether or not the book you picked up is going to have graphic sex, or just the regular kind, or graphic violence or finger jammed in a car door, you basically go off of the summary, and the reputation/writing history of the author.

I have a point here, it's that I think warnings aren't completely necessary. Even if you write slash you would put that it's gay m/m f/f etc in the genre description.

I didn't think of it like that...that's a really good point.  I completely agree with you on this.

Julilly I've always thought that way about books. That you only go off the description/summary on the back of the book but there is no little box that says "Warning this book contains material not suitable for all ages" *shrugs*  That is where the genre comes in. If you pick up a Harlequin romance expect more of the graphic sex description. If you pick up a Young Adult book .. violence will be more mild and if there is sex in the story you question why it's in the young adult section.

I usually look at the summary first, then if it catches me, I check the rating.  I stay away from anything that says "Graphic Sexual Content," or graphic-anything, I think, no matter how interesting the story seems; unless it's an old favorite.
