Angbang AO3 Tag Clogging Masterpost
1st of April, the tag contains 1,881 works without filters.
Now, I applied the suggested "Exclude Relationship" filters for each tag that was not Morgoth/Sauron or Morgoth & Sauron (and their respective species/species and disguised persona/disguised persona tags).
I know that is a very strict approach but I don't want to split hairs about this; see for yourself how many relationship tags and which I excluded.
Already, the number drops by 364 fics.
But that is far from all.
So, I continued.
In the screenshots, you only see some ships I excluded, and the timestamp on my screenshots show you just how long it takes.
Well, what if I also exclude some fandom tags?
Because it is just so much and I have no more space for screenshots, I decided to screen-record what I excluded and how much is left.
(first video was taken 16:03, but i had missed 3 ship tags and excluded them as well just now)
1,069 fics, from the starting count of 1,881 fics.
We're at 1,069 fics... that only contain the four tags unmarked as seen in the video, because I felt they might be relevant to the pairing (platonic ship tag, species tag, alternative/secret identity tag).
A separate field for Past- or Background Relationships to fill out and filter out would be wonderful.
