Mine would read as follows:

Caution! This novel may contain:
-A rich, awkward boy
-An emo band
-Stupid older brothers
-Geometry Wars 2
-Pizza
-Dumb college stuff

I was having a hard time coming up with a synopsis for my author page, and made that instead. I thought it might be fun for others to post warnings for their novels, too! :)

Here's what popped into my head first:

Caution! This novel may contain flying cups, chain lightning, trees and sunlight, ticklish little brothers, impossibly complicated embroidery, and chemistry. Be advised that a strobe light may be used during the stage adaptation, and there will definitely be blood.

Caution! This novel may contain:
- Massive expanses of time
- Little to no transitional material
- Totally not-compelling flash backs
- Adult situations involving a lich and a dragon
- Miscellaneous horribleness

Uhm... yeah.

Then again, the "adult" scene is for word count and definitely wouldn't make it into the final cut of the novel.
