<h4>Warning Tags</h4>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The Archive of Our Own has chosen, for legal and other reasons, to mandate
|
|
that users either warn for—or explicitly choose not to warn for—a
|
|
short list of common warnings: Graphic Depictions of Violence, Major Character
|
|
Death, Rape/Non-Con, and Underage Sex. We understand that creators may wish to not
|
|
warn for some of these things, or to warn for additional content, and have
|
|
provided options for them to do so within this framework.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<dl>
|
|
<dt>
|
|
Choose Not To Use Archive Warnings:
|
|
</dt>
|
|
<dd>
|
|
Use this if you don't want to warn for anything. You may also choose this
|
|
option if you don't know what you should warn for; if you don't like warning
|
|
for certain topics or warnings in general; if you want to avoid some
|
|
spoilers, but not others; etc.
|
|
</dd>
|
|
<dt>
|
|
Graphic Depictions Of Violence:
|
|
</dt>
|
|
<dd>
|
|
This is for gory, graphic, explicitly described violence. Exactly where to
|
|
draw the line is your call.
|
|
</dd>
|
|
<dt>
|
|
Major Character Death:
|
|
</dt>
|
|
<dd>
|
|
Please use your best judgment about who counts as a major character.
|
|
</dd>
|
|
<dt>
|
|
No Archive Warnings Apply:
|
|
</dt>
|
|
<dd>
|
|
Use this if the Archive warnings don't apply to your content. (In other
|
|
words, if it contains no graphic depictions of violence, major character
|
|
death, rape/non-con, or underage sexual activity.)
|
|
</dd>
|
|
<dt>
|
|
Rape/Non-Con:
|
|
</dt>
|
|
<dd>
|
|
This is your call. If you think your content may be seen as containing
|
|
non-consensual sexual activity, but you don't feel like using this warning
|
|
or you're not sure if you should, you always have the option of using
|
|
"Choose Not to Use Archive Warnings" instead.
|
|
</dd>
|
|
<dt>
|
|
Underage Sex:
|
|
</dt>
|
|
<dd>
|
|
This is for descriptions or depictions of sexual activity involving characters
|
|
under the age of eighteen. (This doesn't include dating activity like
|
|
kissing or vague references with no actual description or depiction.) This
|
|
warning generally applies to humans; if you are creating a pornographic work
|
|
about space aliens who only live for a month or thousand-year-old vampires
|
|
with twelve-year-old bodies, please just use your best judgment. You are
|
|
always free to specify characters' ages or to use "Choose Not to Use Archive
|
|
Warnings".
