;-) So: "If your story is likely to unduly distress your mod -- who likes PG gen and literally has the word 'bright' in her handle and cannot imagine half the dark things out there, but nevertheless feels obliged to comment on every story in this fest -- please put on all the tags she needs in order to cope healthfully and cheerfully with your story." ;-)


I would blame myself, not the author, if I read a tagless "Chose not to warn" story and it upset me. But I suppose full, old-fashioned taglessness is a different signal than some tags, but not enough tags, which could seem deceptive. I don't read many "current" or "younger" fandoms, so newer tagging conventions are... new to me!
