I've been scratching my head trying to think of things that haven't been said yet (and gosh, it's hard after you've caught the obvious ones; mostly I only realise an issue bothers me when I'm reading it), and currently the only thing I can think of is incest (not that it comes up much in this fandom anyway). But would that be a kink 'cos it's sexual, or a warning?

...I was wondering whether to ask for a general angst warning for depressing themes (Tony in particular being known for brooding/having an unhealthy mental outlook which can make for some really dark fic, even when there's nothing concrete to warn for) as there are times when reading a story with a dark POV can skew my own mood for the rest of the day and sometimes into the next; then I realised it's already catered for under genre! Out of curiosity, is genre a mandatory field that authors have to use when they're uploading fics?

Also, thanks for linking us to the wankery. There are some really special arguments going on in a couple of places, aren't there? And there are a lot of people that I don't think are actually reading back what they're typing before they click the "Post Comment" button *rolls eyes*.

P.S. Outside of the metadata discussion, is it possible to add a "Whole Story" button to the archive, so we can read, print or save a multi-chaptered fic as a single piece? Only I like being able to download stories to my PDA (for things like travelling, doctor's appointments and the like), and with a nice satisfying epic, it can take quite a while to do the chapters individually!
