PLEASE READ! Important PSA;
Putting “Trigger Warning!!” at the start of a chapter or in the description of your story is not helpful to the people who need them. It doesn’t tell us what you’re warning us about. I know authors don’t want to spoil their work; however, if you’re not going to list the actual trigger (ex: rape, drug abuse, self harm, etc.), then that defeats the actual point of having a trigger warning. Also, not wanting to spoil your story is a terrible reason not to put in a trigger warning that could possible save someone from mental distress.
Basically, if you’re going to use trigger warnings in your writing (which you should!), list the trigger(s)!
Blessings upon you all :)
