Trigger Warnings
This section of my web site is the future home of trigger warnings for my published works. There is debate about trigger warnings, with some people being very dismissive about them and arguing they may contain spoilers that would ruin the reading experience. I get that, but I'm also sensitive to those who want the trigger warnings. My solution is to maintain a web page and refer readers to this page where they may choose to read trigger warnings. My innovation here is to categorize the warnings, and make the warnings hidden until a reader clicks to expand. This way, potential spoilers are kept to a minimum.
In order to perfect this technology and refine categories, I've put this page in place without any actual trigger warnings. It's just experimental for the moment. However, you can see how it might work. Feedback and ideas are welcomed.
