Fanfiction tags

[(Anonymous)]

Have you come across any noticeable tags that have been either hilarious or baffling or simply lives in your mind?

I was tagging a fic as PWP and 'PWP without porn' came up - making me wonder if PWP still means Porn without plot.
Also, the variations of 'No beta we die like-' never fails to humor me.

These are fandom specific, but any tags that let readers know dark content will be involved simply by naming the characters involved. Never fails to crack me up. Because yes, with certain villains, things are probably going to get dark, and readers should be aware.

I do love the 'X is their own warning'

Re: Fanfiction tags

[philstar22]

Yup. Makes me smile every time.

In Game of Thrones fandom, I don't understand the Dark Cersei or Angsty-or-Drunk Tyrion tags. Friends, those are just regular Tyrion and Cersei.Ya don't need to tag special for just regular character portrayals.

That is weird and fairly redundant.

I love those tags that say "Character X is their own warning." It's three warnings rolled into one - Character X is in this; I understood Character X's manifold issues in the source material; I wrote Character X in-character. I've read way too many fic that fail on one or more of those.

I hate it so much when villains are flattened in fics and their villainy ignored. Then again, I love villains and a lot of the fun of a complex villain is they have layers but are still evil. Get rid of that and it is no longer the same character.

So I love that tag both because it is fun and because it tends to mean the fic is going to be in character.

While I do like the "no beta ..." jokes, I've come across too many versions that spoil fairly recent character deaths in several series so I don't like them as much as I used to.

But doesn't PWP also mean 'Plot? What Plot?'?

The variations of 'No beta we die like-' from some Stranger Things ficcers are especially funny to me, given how many liked characters have died.

Any tag where the next tag is a version of 'I can't believe that's an official tag'.

PWP meant Porn Without Plot right back to the BBS days.

ayrt

Also.

Re: Fanfiction tags

It does, but I (and others) always took that to mean 'thin schmear of 'story' as justification for ALL THE SEX', so...YMMV.

PWP or PWP?

[(Anonymous)]

It will always crack me up (and slightly annoy me) that PWP has come to mean Porn With Plot, Porn Without Plot, and Plot? What Plot? all simultaneously. Peak fandom ridiculousness.

"No Beta We Die Like ______". ________'s A+ parenting (said sarcastically).

Re: Fanfiction tags

[philstar22]

That last one cracks me up in some specific instances. Like I've seen it used for Feanor, and that makes me smile every single time.

One of my friends wrote a Stranger Things fic with the tag “Jim Hopper’s B+ Parenting,” which cracks me up. He’s trying with El! He’s just not getting a gold star right now.
