Warning policy.

laurajvI've missed the Great Warning Debate this time around, and frankly: have a newborn. Not going to catch up on it.
Still, I thought I'd best state my warning policy:
In my own spaces, such as on my website or in my journals, I do not attach warnings.
When I archive elsewhere, I do*, and so archives or community journals are safer places for people with triggers to read my work. I also will answer questions; if you-the-reader have particular triggers, feel free to ask me if I think the story will trip them. I will answer you honestly and to the best of my ability. Of course, also feel free to ask for non-triggery stuff, such as personal squicks or just not wanting to read something depressing that day.
* There are some archives that didn't require warnings, and some old work of mine is archived at some of those places without warnings. This is especially true of old work originally posted to newsgroups or lists prior to 2000, so if you find some of that stuff, you may wish to use the "ask Laura" method if you need any warnings.
