Here's how people in fandom are using 'fluff' to tag their own fics. Just on the first page, it ranges from drabbles/one-shots to 300k word multi-chapter fics. I don't really have time to take an in-depth look at it, but it gives an idea of what the majority of fandom considers to be fluff, or at least how they're using the word.

Many of those stories have so many tags, I'm taking it to mean that the author is covering all their bases. "Well, there's some angst in this chapter, so I better include that, and in this one, so much hurt/comfort, but by the time they get to that chapter there's been a fluffy night of cuddling, gotta click that box too."

No I agree, some of them seem more...thoughtfully tagged than others, I guess. I just meant that arguing about personal experience is a bit pointless, since everyone's is different, and the best way to figure out how fandom uses certain terms is by actually examining how they're using them

[nyxelestia]

I guess it depends on how you look at a story.

Generally, if it's a short story and I see the "fluff" tag, then I assume the whole fic is fluff (and with a few exceptions, it is). The longer the story/the more the tags, the more I assume that it isn't a fluff fic, but just a fic with fluff in it.

But then, I think at least a third of the tags, genres, trigger warnings, and labels in fandom are horribly misused and abused, so I may be biased.
