Hello! I wanted clarification on one of your rules!
You mention that if we do a work that's romantic, it will not be reblogged. Totally respect this btw, but I was wondering what happens when you tag a "ship" but with the intention of not focusing on the romantic aspect of it (e.g. Sonadow but with a focus on their rivalry/character dynamics)
Would we add further clarification in the tags or just avoid "ship" tags?
Hmm, good question.
If the way you write a relationship or what you're choosing to focus on in that relationship (outside of married/dating characters*) falls in what you would consider gen/platonic categories, even if you personally ship them, then I would recommend simply not using the ship tags. Not only is the easier for moderators to work with, but this will also encourage non-shippers of those characters who may have the ship tag blocked to read your work.
For non-romantic relationships, the Character & Character tags are at your service.
I am aware that the division between romantic and platonic can be subjective, but if you are struggling to decide for yourself what category to put something in, it's probably good to ask a friend, especially one who maybe sees those characters and their relationship differently than you.
I hope this clarifies things! (Rather than make them more confusing, haha 😅)
Write and be comforted!

*If you are writing main characters that are dating/married, please tag with the ship, regardless of the actual content of the fic. This is simple politeness. Thank you.
