that’s… not how it works. you can’t guarantee that your work definitely won’t squick anyone. what do you think you’re saying?
“squick free” someone writes on their wholesome family fic about married characters expecting a baby.
I read it and am extremely squicked.
You do not know what squicks other people. “Squick” is not a category of elements, it is a description of a reaction.
Squick is literally a personal thing, you literally cannot know what squicks another person.
Same goes for triggers, by the way. You can’t guarantee something is trigger-free because literally anything can be a trigger because the human brain can be weird like that sometimes.
No no, actually there’s a perfect way to write an absolutely squick free fanfic! Plenty of writers do it successfully every day!
Here.
Blank documents squick me out because they remind me of all my unstarted writing projects. :/
