Me neither, which is why I immediately went and checked if I had tagged my ancient 5 Things That Happened to Londo Mollari fic correctly.

(as it turned out, I had tagged it with CNTW, which is for me is basically code for Surprise Character Death)

I actually saw a discussion recently on Reddit where someone was arguing that you should not be allowed to use CNTW on character death fics because it's "not enough of a warning". Most people thought this defeated the purpose of CNTW, but there were surprisingly (worryingly?) many people who agreed that character death should always be tagged because it's unfair that people who want to avoid it can't read CNTW fics. What I find interesting is that the whole discussion was about character death, the idea of having similar compulsory warnings about, say, underage or noncon never came up.
