I used to like AO3 more than the pit because you could include specific tags rather than just characters/genre/etc, but that's been abused to fuck because of people tagging the stories with their own commentary, and because of people tagging literally every single thing ever.

What do you mean false positives? I'd like to be able to exclude things I don't want to see, if that's what you're getting at, but again there would be the problem of LITERALLY EVERYTHING'S TAGGED so I might be excluding character X and a story that mentions them for one line and otherwise doesn't include them at all will not be mentioned.

I've started to search out rec lists because AO3 is an exercise in frustration.

A false positive is when you do a search for character A but get five hundred fics listing character A when s/he has only one line. A false negative would be doing a search which excludes character A, and as well as excluding the five hundred fics where they are tagged in despite having only one line, you also exclude one fic where tehy were a main character. Right now AO3 encourages false positives because they assume everyone is completely false negative averse. Now don't get me wrong I think there is a middle ground somewhere, but I'd much rather suffer a false negative and maybe lose a couple of fics than have to wade through the five hundred pages of false positives.
