Oh yes fics definitely need warnings don't they! I was once really enjoying a fic and I was thinking - oh how is Rodney going to get of this one then and he flipping didn't - he died!!!!
No warning or nuffink that it was a deathfic and I was so peed off as I would not have read it! Whumping is the comfort as well as the hurt and if they die there is no comfort in that. The angst their friends feel for them is OK because we know they will pull through so we can say to them as we read "it's OK - they will pull through - don't worry!" (yes sometimes I talk to the characters in the fic
)
So as long as you warn people Linzi you should write whatever you want to and if people do not like it they do not have to read it. I am not into slash so a warning at the beginning and I think fine - that's not for me! But doesn't mean I think people shouldn't write it - it is a free country and people can write and read what they like. If you are not true to yourself you will not write a truly good fic!
