Because AO3 is not restricted to fanfiction. It's a place to post TRANSFORMATIVE WORKS.

Freeform tag with the crowd already.

[silvereriena]

I know that you can post transformative fanworks on AO3, but this isn't even specific to any fandom, it's just a prompt. Although someone above said that it's already been deleted.

[cloud_riven]

It's specific though. OP whiteouted the fandom references and usernames is all.

Anywho, what I meant was that it's such a broad term that it's hard to define what isn't a fanwork. I could post an interpretive dance about the Muppets set to kpop, and it'd probably count.

[silvereriena]

Ah yeah, you're right about the whiting out. And I'd be down for some Muppet kpop.

I don't think prompts are what the AO3 had in mind though.

[cloud_riven]

Given how leaving authors notes or a summary in the tags is acceptable according to the site, I don't expect the site to be clear or rigid about much.

Wait. What's the whole Freeform thing?

I started using AO3 for the first time recently, and one of my tags automatically got the word "freeform" attached. I was like, "what?" But the intended audience has been finding the fic, so I haven't really concerned myself with it. After this comment, however, I'm interested in finding out what the term refers to on the site.

I've been using AO3 from day one and I am just as confused as you.

As far as I can tell, it's just one more way to ensure filtering will not work on AO3...

Freeform is any "extra" tag that's not Relationship, Character, or Fandom. As to why -freeform got added, that happens when you put something in the additional tags that's already a canonical tag in another category, because tags have to be unique.

Sorry this is a stupid example, but suppose your fic involved drifting cherry blossom petals and you decided to tag it "sakura." Sakura is the name of a character in several fandoms, so that tag name is "taken" and your tag would become sakura-freeform. Does that make sense? See also here:

ayrt

Well, that makes it even stranger, then, because the tag I used is specific to my fandom. :-/

Ahh, thank you for the explanation, though.
