I've decided (and already have, in fact) to call people on mislabeled fic. If it's labeled as gen and ends in straight-up slash, I will say something about it. I'm tired of running into unlabeled or mislabeled stories and being unpleasently surprised. It makes me feel like I've been duped into reading them. Plus people just need to have plain consideration for their readers, let them know what they're about to read and whether or not it's something they want to read. If there's violence or torture in one of my stories, I let people know since I know some people don't like that.
I would also encourage others to do the same. Don't be rude about it, but if the story is gen and turns into slash, ask about it. If it contains something explicit but had no warnings, point it out. It's not right going into a story tense and cautious because you have no idea what you might end up reading.
