The fandom terms can be obnoxious to keep track of. There used to be a great dictionary/reference guide online but I've lost the link and I think the page was taken down last year. Still, I'll have to see if I can get it at the wayback machine.
Yeah, crack is generally referring to the things that make you suspect the writer might have been under the influence. Triads, slash, heterosexual fic, bondage play, non-con, dub-con, character death or whumpage, those get put under the warnings by most people. Personally, I almost never warn for triads or slash if I've listed the pairing. I think people should be smart enough to catch that part on their own.
I'd be happy to go through the fic and point those things out. Would it be okay to email you with an edited copy? That might be easier than trying to do it in the comments. I just offered myself up to a Brit as an American English beta, and I'd be willing to do the same for you.
No apologies needed for being long-winded. I've written comments long enough to have to split them into three separate posting before. Besides, this is talking about writing and that's important.
