Yeah, the miscarriage one is the one I always worry about. I've warned for it once (not the Dee fic) and skipped the warning for it in the Dee fic. (She was talking about getting pregnant as early as chapter 1 or 2, and didn't until chapter 7. Since this follows canon, I would hope people could figure out long before this either she wasn't going to get pregnant, or that if she did, she'd be losing the baby. And the fic was dealing more with Why She and Hoshi Hated Each Other than Dee having a miscarriage.) But yeah, ESPECIALLY given that fandom is largely female, the whole miscarriage thing is one of those... man, I'd hate to hurt someone.
I was thinking "angst" as a warning/genre. Usually if I see that, I know that I'll be more inclined to expect the writer to do something like that. I think my own personal favorite that I've used is "I'm mean."
Heh. So, for alcohol/drug abuse: would you warn for alcoholism in a Tigh fic or morphine use in a Gaeta fic? :)
I also find that with "character death", it really depends on how many characters you have going. If you're writing a fic using the whole cast, "character death" doesn't necessarily spoil anything. If you're writing a fic with just Harry and Hermione, "character death" probably does.
