I wasn't at all thinking of it in the context of labelling a fic in respect of 'does it need to be labelled so those who don't like deathfic can avoid it'. Despite it being the core debate on this thread, that aspect just wasn't in my mind at all when I last posted.
I've read this through three times and I still can't figure out where this is different or in opposition to what I said because I wasn't talking about "does it need to be labeled" either. I was talking about the fact that individual elements within a story, like a death or sex, aren't always what the story is really about. Nothing more than that.

However, I also acknowledge that their presence can very well cross a well-defined threshold for many people. I'm not sure the same thing can be said about kids or simple angst.

No answer, just more questions. Really. smile
