Tagging

Hi, I've made a start on the tagging, I'm starting right for the bottom, It's kinda fun.

Quick question, Is there any interest in having Pre-slash, First-time and Established tags?

Erm... how will you determine those though? All right; first times are pretty self-explanatory. Eh. I don't care for those particular labels myself, but I won't hit people with satsumas if I see fics (even my own) tagged that way.

EDIT: Though, if I had a choice, I'd rather not see those tags used.

Mostly I'm re-reading, or taking it from the authors notes.

If you asking me, fan to fan, that you personally don't want those particular tags on you fics, then I will respect that. People will be able too find your fic through you Author tag, plus there will be plenty of cross tagging that will help people narrow their search. :)

It's getting late, I might call it a night, I've not done too bad I don't think, I'm already half way through 2005.

Sleepy.

Thanks for the feedback

First of all, did I thank you for doing this awesome job yet? Thank you for doing this awesome job! It is, as mentioned, awesome. As are you.

Yes, I guess I kinda am. As smaych below, I'm not a fan of over-labeling. Pairing and rating and all that stuff is good, but I would prefer not being tagged beyond that. If you've already tagged any of my stories as such, I'm not asking you to un-tag them, however! I don't want to give you extra work. And sorry for being a pain.

Why thank you.

It's a tough job, but some ones got to do it.

OK, so I've gone through some of the tags, and I'm... well, I don't want to seem unappreciative, but I would really rather not have my fics tagged with stuff like 'pov' and 'angst/fluff'. In short, and without going into literary wank mode (that's the Lit major in me), I feel these labels are limiting, and I don't identify with them. This brings up a question though; how many tags are there? Could other authors possibly feel the same way?

I really, really don't want to seem unappreciative; it's just that my time in fandom (and reading fanficrants) has taught me that categories can be tricky...

EDIT - OK, looked through tags. It's just angst/fluff and POV I personally have a problem with. Man, I sound like such a whiner. Sorry about that.

Hi. Opinions are welcome.

May I ask why you find the Fluff/Angst and POV tags are limiting?

I'm not upset, I'm genuinely interested.

I never bother with Comms like Ficirants, if people can't be nice to each other then I don't wanna know. ;)

Tell you what I'll make you a deal, I'll take the Angst/POV tags from your stories, if you go and read and review Mine (http://community.livejournal.com/reddwarfslash/220000.html#cutid1).
:P
