In a way to help, Haney Hayes Promotions has gathered a list of possible triggers that may help you to decide just where your lines are and when or if you are crossing someone else's. This is not a full list-as we said it varies, but these are a good place to start!
Content and Trigger Warnings
Content and Trigger Warnings
HHP recognizes that there is a far larger debate in the industry as to the lack of clarity regarding the semantics of these warnings. As they are often used interchangeably.
For the purposes of our guide, the intent is to provide people the agency to mentally prepare for their interactions with the content and to make choices about how and if to consent to engage. We encourage Authors to consider the level of distress the content is likely to elicit when determining if, when, and what type of warning they choose to provide to their readers.

Content Warning
A Content Warning is a written or oral disclaimer that discloses that the content of the material may be intellectually or emotionally challenging. It may manifest feelings of discomfort, distress, and/or upset due to its sensitive nature.

Trigger Warning
A Trigger Warning is much like a Content Warning; however, relates specifically to Trauma Survivors. The content contained may cause someone emotional distress, typically as a result of arousing feelings or memories associated with a particular traumatic experience.

Heat Levels
1 Sweet/Clean
Note: To be conceded clean, the language must also be as such.
From no contact to sexual encounters behind closed doors. Romance drives the main plot.
2 Mild/Sensual
Typically contains open-door sexual encounters with more focus on the emotional experience without graphic language
3 Steamy/Mainstream
Note; The current standard for mainstream Romance
Typically includes a more explicit description of sexual encounters, but the plot drives the story.
4 Spicy
Includes more graphic terms for sexual encounters and body parts. It may include light BDSM, darker or commonly considered taboo themes and often more frequent use of graphic sex scenes, as long as its frequency does not outweigh the Romance plot. It must contain a romantic theme.
5 Sizzling
Highly explicit/graphic/frequent sexual encounters. The plot is not entirely dependent on romance.
Violence Levels
Violence Levels
1 No Violence
