I don’t know about others but the only reason I put both is so that whichever someone clicks on, they will find my fic. So if there is supposed to be rules, I guarantee you that no writer knows these ones. We can barely get people to comment, you think we’re going to specifically choose & or / ? Hell no.
I’ve been in fandom for twenty years, and “/” means romance and “&” means no romance was literally one of the first things I learned. It dates back to Star Trek fanfiction of the 70s. I’m boggled by the fact that anyone who’s been reading fic on AO3 for more than like five minutes wouldn’t know that, and I’m curious as to what fanfic community you come out of.
I don’t think that tagging with both is actually going to get your fic in front of more readers. People looking for romance often exclude the “&” tag if there are too many gen fics tagged with both. People looking for gen often exclude the “/” tag if there are too many fics with both. So rather than putting your fic in front of twice the people, you are in fact more likely to get your target audience ignoring your fic because it has a tag they don’t want.
Also, by overtagging you are more likely to annoy potential readers away from your fic than entice them. A fic tagged both & and / better have both romance and a ton of platonic interaction between the two characters, like a slow burn romance friends-to-lovers arc. If it isn’t, I’m going to be very unhappy because the author lied to me with the tags to try and trick me into reading a fic with deceptive advertising.
When I’m in a fandom and see tagging where some of the tags don’t really apply and are just there to get it in front of more eyes, I’m going to assume one of two things. Either the author is a newb who doesn’t know anything, or the author is purposefully spamming the tags because they don’t care about lying to their potential audience and think that “spray and pray” is an effective tactic. In the first case, their writing probably will not be very good, so why bother reading their fic. In the second case, the fact that I can’t trust the tags to be accurate means I’m not going to read it to see if it’s interesting even if it has a tag I like. Chances are, that tag isn’t actually in the fic anyway, and even if it is, by spam-tagging the author is making the archive harder to use for everybody. Why would I reward bad behavior with attention? No. Far better to mute the author and move on.
More to the point--and no, I will never stop harping on this, because we have GOT to stop leaving our strongest points in the drawer--it doesn't matter if you heard of this convention before joining AO3 or not, because it's in AO3's tagging FAQ.
[id: the "How do I tag a romantic or platonic relationship?" section of the tagging FAQ here.]
"But Jo," you may argue, because you're wrong. "There's no way to find that without digging through site FAQ menus, and that's really inaccessible!"
sure
except
that when you go to post a new fic, and you go to put in those relationship tags, you see this
[id: the Relationships field]
and that tooltip, the one THERE TO EXPLAIN HOW THE FIELD WORKS, links to the Relationships segment of the tag FAQ, which explicitly lays this shit out.
I don't care if you don't know fandom history. I don't care if you've never heard a goddamn word about the spirk shippers. I don't care if you've never been exposed to fandom culture in your life. It is, frankly, not fair to expect those things of everyone.
What is entirely fair to expect is that you will READ THE INSTRUCTIONS PRINTED NEXT TO THE FUCKING BOX, actually. Forget fandom conventions. It genuinely doesn't matter whether you agree with or respect fandom conventions. This is a site policy. This is explicitly how tagging on AO3, specifically, works.
Someone comes to you for ice cream. You tell them your sundae has chocolate and peanut butter when it in fact only has chocolate. Folks who want just chocolate aren't going to order it. Folks who want just peanut butter aren't going to order it. Folks who want peanut butter and chocolate are going to be disappointed there's no peanut butter. Tags are an ingredients list. It's not that hard.
Y'all...
...why the fuck you think it's called 'slash'?
"would wangxian baby trap each other?" as if wei wuxian didn't canonically babytrap lan wangji with a-yuan??? as if wei wuxian wasnt still tryna convince lan wangji to babytrap him eventhough they're already married???
Favorite Friends to Lovers trope is Person Who Just Discovered Their Crush And Is Freaking Out Full Force x Person Who Has Been Deeply In Love And Dealing With It For Years And Therefore Not Showing Any Signs Of Having A Crush Whatsoever. The person who's Just Realized is looking for any signs that their crush is reciprocated and they're getting NOTHING. The other person is sooo nonchalant. But really it's because being in love with this person is like breathing at that point. It just goes so hard
Who the hell is Wangxian
this is bullshit
“Girls want a Superman, but they walk past a Clark Kent every day”
You fuckin CLOWNS think you’re a CLARK KENT? Not on my fuckin watch. You dumb, headass motherfuckers are barely a Guy Gardner and you think you’re a CLARK KENT? The amount of disrespect is unreal.
Listen here, wannabes: My boi Clark is 240 lbs of PURE KANSAS BEEF trained from a young age by Ma Kent to Love and Respect women as the Intelligent, Independent beings they are. He is shy rambling about tractors and casually moving the copy machine when my pen falls behind it and he would NEVER demand I be sexually or romantically interested just because he’s nice.
Y’all ain’t Clark Kent.
I have never hit the reblog button so damn fast.
“barely a Guy Gardner” is the sickest comics related burn I’ve heard to date.
on the subject of it often being out of character for characters to be having carefully negotiated bdsm sex in smut fics: 90% of metal gear ships are insane toxic yaoi and would definitely be having sex that is neither safe nor sane and only borderline consensual HOWEVER otacon and snavid would be thoroughly negotiating kinks before during and after sex like theyre doing mission briefings on a codec call
Of course you're feeling green, that's the only color the codec does
tumblr users love reading. you literally stopped for this post just because it has words in it
this is one of my favorite bits about tumblr
the users seem to actually prefer text posts to anything else, and treat it as a chore to play a video especially with sound
me when my shizun reveals that i was meant to be a bloodthirsty, lust-driven monster who bedded three hundred women and never loved a single one of them and who could scarcely separate my own desires from that of my sword and who hoarded more and more riches for happiness i couldnt buy and accumulated so much blood on my hands i couldnt ever wash clean and i was bitter and lonely and vengeful but even so, he loved me. he loved me so much he died cursing the gods for making me unhappy. he loved me so much he transcended worlds to come make me happy. there was an evil overlord demanding he be cruel to me, and despite that, he gave me medicine, he smiled at me, he pat my head and believed in me and loved me. he came from a world with no cultivation nor swordfighting, yet he protected me. it was probably scary and he had no one to confide in, and i made it so much worse, i misunderstood him, trapped him, hurt him, and yet he loved me. he loved me so hard he resewed the threads of fate and rewrote my destiny, are you fucking kidding?
