look kiddos: due to tumblr’s half-baked tagging system (where only so many tags count towards actually categorizing a given post), tags on this site have evolved into an acceptable form of dispensing and sharing commentary, but that is not the case on other websites — ESPECIALLY AO3. tags on AO3 are intended to be functional, not conversational, and not only do excessive paragraphs of tags like these look patently ridiculous and sell your work short, they also make life harder for the site’s tag wranglers who volunteer their time to keep the tags organized so people can actually find your fic.
in short, knock it off.
From the AO3 FAQ: (emphasis added)
How should I tag my works on the Archive?
You can tag your works however you want! Feel free to use the tags that show up in the auto-complete, but if you prefer a form or other tag not listed, use those instead! The goal of our tag wrangling system is to embrace all varieties of fannish descriptions, while creating background structure to make browsing easier.
You can do whatever you want with your tags. Don’t try to shame other people into doing it your way. That’s not what it’s there for.
also this!
except I can and will continue to shame people for tagging child porn and parental sexual abuse with daddy!kink because it’s a fucking lie and seriously uncool.
