Re: AO3

[fishnchips]

I just want people to stop coming up with new and ~creative~ versions of tagging m-preg, a/b/o, and other things that could be perfectly tagged with existing keywords so people could filter things out properly. I generally would like to have a built-in option on the site itself that let you exclude things - the giant -"word" search strings are pretty inconvient.

This applies for a lot of my fandoms, really.

How many ways could someone possibly "creatively" tag mpreg??

Re: AO3

[fishnchips]

I have currently ... 11 different versions on my blacklist? It's a thing that also changes with the fandom and person who doesn't know how to use AO3 tags properly, so instead of simply having m-preg, you get things like "character is preggers lol" or m-preg in connection with all sorts of adjectives, which also means a filter doesn't catch it. Or in connection with a/b/o it's often implied but not explicitly tagged. Or they make up new terms entirely. Like, my days in the Transformers fandom are over, but a popular version there was "mech carrying sparklings" etc.

Hell, I wish there was a consistent way of indicating regular old, uh, f-preg. (That hurt to type!) I don't want to read about characters giving birth or having children, period.

What terms do you have on your blacklist? I have: pregnancy, mpreg, m-preg, childbirth, babyfic, and kidfic.

Re: AO3

[fishnchips]

Yeah, I feel you. I don't read het, usually, because I don't really have any het ships, but I can imagine it's difficult there as well (not to mention with the current trans!fic trend where people can't seem to decide how to tag it. I don't read that either, but I've seen plenty of it around, Vic tagging is getting ever more confusing).

I'll come back to you tomorrow if you'd still like to know about my blacklisted tags! I'm not close to my computer where I have the blacklist collection stored.

Re: AO3

[skeletal_history]

Sure, I'll take them! Anything to make my fic reading life a little easier. :D

Re: AO3

[fishnchips]

Right let's see - I have:
m-preg, M-preg, mpreg, Mpreg, Implied Mpreg, past mpreg, future Mpreg, eventual mpreg, Impregnation, male pregnany, Unplanned Pregnancy, Mpreg matters, Mpreg scare

And I probably need to add all the different ways of writing "mpreg" and alternate capitalisation in these as well sometime.

In addition to those, I also filter out any trans!fic, herm/intersex tags, A/B/O related tags and things that have to do with "alien biology", mostly because I don't read those anyway and they tend to have a huge amount of otherwise untagged mpreg or general pregnancy. (Also all the different tags that have "pregnant!(character)" but not general pregnancy/mpreg warning.)

Re: AO3

[skeletal_history]

Thank you! I'll add these to my blacklist!

Yeah, I think I complained about this about actual tumblr tags. On one hand it's good to be able to get specific about what you're tagging, but on the other...

Ok, I went to a convention recently and want to tag my photos. Do I use convention name, nickname, name2017, name 2017, nickname2017, nickname 2017, name13 (the number of years the convention has been going on), name 13, nickname13, nickname 13? That's 10 tag variations right off the top of my head. And that's not even getting creative or misspelling it.

True story, on etsy for a while, "whimsicle" had more search results than "whimsical".
