But I think including acts in your warnings lets people find the stuff they want to read. Personally I don't give a shit why or how someone found my fic, just that they enjoyed it. If someone found one of my Pietro/Wanda fics through searching for incest, bully for them. If they found it by searching for Wanda or Pietro, again, bully for them. Also, it's a nice way to find something with characters AND acts you enjoy rather than having to sift through stuff you don't care for or aren't interested in.

For example: If they are searching for a particular sex act or fetish that only appears once in a multi-chaptered fic, then there's a good chance they're going to be dissatisfied with the fic as a whole. Maybe give me a bad review because there wasn't enough of whatever it was they were looking for in it. Another example: I list each different sex act (or other topic) as a separate warning. It can result in a long warning that makes a fic sound like a total porn-fest when it actually isn't. Again with the failed expectations. Unhappy reader. Unhappy writer.
*shrug* That's my take on it anyway. I get more complaints about what's not in my fic than what is. But everyone's experiences are different, right?
