Re: But there are four different relationships at work there.

I tend to tag for significant things in the fic. I'm sorry if that doesn't work for you. I don't believe in having a wall of tags, but I think you can also have too few. Because if the fic is an exploration into a couple inviting a third into a relationship, then I'm tagging the couple because their dynamics and the fact that they are a couple is important to the story. On AO3, you can exclude the A/B/C relationship in the filters if it bothers you that much.

If someone is writing a slowburn where the two characters don't get together until much later on and spend the majority of the fic platonic then they still tag is as / from the beginning no? It makes sense to me the same sentiment would be used for a polyship even if the one person doesn't come until a bit later. And again you can explain in the summary that the story is about A/B bringing in C.

I guess everyone has their own opinions for how things should be tagged. I'm very minimalist with mine. Aside from basic categorization and as content warnings I don't really think they should be used for "explaining" the story because that's what summaries are for and tags are rather lacking in nuance.

It's just my preference and what I think is logical.
