In this category, see also: warning for slash. So not cool.
Agreed. I feel that warning for m/m, f/f, m/f, or any combination is insulting at the best. There is nothing shameful, disturbing, or wrong about any of it and it should not be treated as such. If a person can't figure out from the pairings and/or the rating and summary what type of fic it is then that is their problem.
But. One thing I'm glad to hear you say is that you will use AO3 style warnings if warnings are required.
Trust me, I will always be very cautious about that. I don't usually write fic with consent issues. In fact, I believe that I have only written one fic that I labeled dubcon and that was a very, very cautious interpretation. If I have any doubts about what I should include in warnings/notes I discuss it with my beta.
Now I know there are some kinks that occupy a grey area (where it is a trigger for someone but not conventionally listed as a trigger by fandom) but for the really big ones, I do appreciate it.
It is impossible to warn for everything, and while I prefer to write consent that is clearly consent, I do occasionally write some darker fic that could trigger people for other reasons. I do my best to put some sort of info about that in the header, but if you ever have any doubts feel free to PM me. :D
