My tagging habits

I tag for Characters who will be relevant. I tag for a concept that people might not like , and I always tag for orignal characters. I write stories with them because i like putting something of mine in a fanfic...otherwise i just feel like i'm playing with someone else's toys and...sorta lose interest. But I try to do it well .

That said, I'm not one to trick people who don't like OCs into reading my fics. I'm not any any damn crusade to get the world to read my fic and I DON'T think that I will magically be able to convert people who backbutton at the sight of an OC to like my story now matter how well I try. Because they just don't like it and that's okay.

My only problem is when I get people who tell either complain when I've already freakin' warned them or sit there and lecture me that I should write this or that because people will flame me or not like it. I KNOW people are here to read about characters they like. Which is why I work to give those characters a good role in the story and keep the focus on them. The exception to that is when I'm writing elsewhere or setting (for example a story about Hogwarts directly after the war from the POV of a muggle born.) If I get actual critique to make my story better good. If I get told to take my story down because one person hates it for something I've warned for I'll be like "no. Read something else." . If they call me butthurt for that? I'll laugh at them.

Also anything that could be dark or disturbing I try to give warning for. Even if I don't want to give away something like a death I'll just put graphic violence on it. I don't aim to trigger my viewers.


Others Tagging Habits

I believe that tags ideally should be like a content label. Characters, content warning major ships. Special snowflake-y tags are annoying but they tell me I can just browse on past the fic. nothing to attack them over. People make their own choices yo.

Now trigger warnings are important to me first of all. Well for things like violence or rape or the like. (Don't abuse trigger warnings. like Tumblr does.) Use them with reason. Torture needs a trigger warning. Dasies don't. Racism and Homopobia would do with a content warning. Trigger warn for the presence of white people and I will fucking mock you I'm not even joking.

As for tagging characters and ships. If they make a significant appearance in the story tag that stuff. Tag for a character hat sticks around for two chapters. Don't tag for the appearance of a random pizza delivery boy. I hate seeing a character I like in the tag and then finding they only appeared once or were mentioned in passing.

Also....tag for OOC? Gee thanks for telling me why I shouldn't read the fic. Tag for character bashing? Gee thanks for telling me why I shouldn't read the fic. I don't know why people tag for these things . Like do they not even know that it's a negative thing.

That's pretty much it.
