Story tags...

Story by cuteycindyhoney

Here's a question. Does anyone else get bothered by people demanding that EVERYTHING about a story be mentioned in the tags? It's hard to have a plot twist, or any kind of surprise if people expect everything to be tagged in advance.

Say you write a story were a futa at a costume party fucks a girl, only later to find out it was her sister. This surprise twist would be ruined if you are expected to tag it as incest so the reader knows before reading the story.

When I go to the library or book store, I don't look for a list of tags in order to find a book that won't, Heaven forbid, trigger me with one sentence. How did this story tagging get started, anyway?

A plot synopsis is more than sufficient.

Thank you for putting up with my mini-rant.
