I could rant for ours about how I read a great story only to
have one of the key characters die. I would have liked a warning!

Or for purists, who argue that snuff is only death in a sexual context,
then perhaps we should request another code to be added.
Something like CD for character death.

That should help warn readers who may want to avoid these tales
or prepare themselves.
It is quite reasonable to assume that stories posted on BDSM Library, or any site or publication that contains erotica, snuff should be defined as a classification into which a story must fall IF such a story uses any expression or depiction of death in an erotic context. Readers have the right to be informed of a story's content. This would be true whether in erotica or some other genre`, in any type of media... print, television, periodicles, etc. If a story contains any such potentially upsetting content, (snuff, incest, violence, etc.,) it is the duty of the author AND the author's publisher to ensure that anyone interested in reading the story understands that it contains such content. This is true in any kind of entertainment media, not just fiction, and any genre`, not just erotica.
