The thing about Modern Fantasy AU is that Jabber has ‘one big fucked up event that broke your brain’ PTSD and Zanka’s has ‘extended childhood torment nexus’ PTSD but mostly they’re both just excited to find someone else who kinda Gets It.
(But also they still annoy the shit out of each other because why are you like that.)
Which is not to say that many bad things haven’t happened to Jabber since then, just that without One Specific Day he’d probably be…. fine? Medicated, but fine. Meanwhile there’s no one specific day you can take out of Zanka’s childhood that would fix his shit.

How the hell do you tag on AO3?
Hello, my anonlings (and assorted others). It is I, the Big Anon, otherwise known as Crouch, here to request your advice on this important matter.
Simply put, I have always sucked shit at tagging. My steadfast beta tells me I "certainly have a way with it," which is Steadfast Beta for, "I don't even know how to help you, man." Thus, I have simply been doing my meager best.
Part of my skill issue is probably because when I personally go to read, I search very simply by ship tags or character tags, and when I decide which works I'm interested in reading, I actually mostly go by the summary; I often hardly glance at the tags. Nevertheless, I know that for many people, the tags are very important in their search process. I wish to ensure my tags are of sufficient quality to help people decide whether or not they're interested in my work.
To that end, I would like to ask everyone some questions:
What do you do when you search? Are there important types of tags you filter by?
Assuming you got here by finding and reading one of my works on AO3: what about that work made you decide you wanted to read it? Did the tags assist you at all?
What is your general opinion of my tagging so far? Is there anything you would like me to do less or more of?
Is it better to under-tag or over-tag?
And to my fellow writers, some of whom I am @-ing on this post, I ask:
How on earth do you decide what to tag?
Responses, opinions, and advice greatly appreciated. Thank you all very much.

I may not be the best person to ask I also worry that I’m very very bad at tagging BUT GENERALLY:
When it comes to searching/filtering, it depends one the sheer volume of fic a particular fandom has. I tend to go very broad in smaller fandoms but get very specific in very very large fandoms/ships with a lot of fic to sift through.
I want to say that the description has a bigger impact on me clicking on a fic that the tags generally do.
When it comes to tags, they rarely put me off of a fic but often a strange combination of tags will intrigue me. Like idk how you got fluff and vivisection in here but I’m curious to find out.
Or I use them to find a specific flavor of pornography. Whichever.
When tagging my own stuff, I try to go for: main ships, major characters, any important tropes that readers might be seeking out, any involved sex acts of applicable, ????, panic and read what other people in the ship tag are tagging their stuff with to get ideas.
I see. Thank you for your insight! I will confess, I am often looking for particular flavors of pornography as well... I will make sure not to skimp on those tags.
Is Gachiakuta considered a particularly large or small fandom/is Janka a particularly large or small ship community? I have never really been a part of a specific fandom before, so I don't really know.
It’s definitely not a small fandom but once a ship has like 10k+ fics it’s usually easy to get real specific with tags and still find SOMETHING it’s just a numbers game at that point

Today a patron almost certainly saw me and another librarian looking at the IMDB page for the dog who played Wishbone. She didn’t say anything but she saw.
