As a result of a discussion, here is a thread where authors may post WHAM warnings, 'broken toys' reassurances etc, rather than including them at the start of their story, thus spoiling some readers who don't want to be spoiled.
Use of this thread is by no means compulsory! But if you wish to use this thread, here's what to do:
Authors:
If you don't want to post the warning yourself - because your name showing as the last poster might alert readers to the fact that you've posted a warning - send your warning to
headlibarian@shadolibrary.net. (Or PM the Admin). Include your name and your story title plus the warning you'd like to have posted. In the subject-line of your email, please write WHAM warning thread.
Readers:
If you prefer to know about WHAMs, or want to be reassured that authors will fix their toys etc, then check this thread whenever there's a new story, or whenever you notice that there's a new post here.
If you don't want to know any spoilers, just don't open this thread!
Hoping this helps.
