Okay, don't misunderstand me (I think a few people are). I'm not saying don't label the fics. I'm saying give just enough to suck the reader in, by saying it is a slash fic or gen fic action/humor/team/whatever. I'm also not saying don't label death fics. I'm just saying were I to write one, I wouldn't want to label it myself, because I'd like the shock. When it is labeled, there isn't a shock. But I totally see the other POV for wanting a label.

It all boils down to personal preference.

Sorry to hear about your mother in law. My prayers go out to you and the family! ((((hugs)))))
