terabient

I've been cleaning up my A03 profile, summaries, and content tags, and I'm having a hard time tagging my M-rated fic. I'm generally someone who under-tags, as I've always felt that having too many tags is frustrating to readers. But undertagging means a reader has less control when it comes to content they want to avoid, so I'm trying to find a happy medium between over- and undertagging. Help me out, flist?

What is your preferred method of tagging sexual content in M/E rated fic?

View Answers

Tag with every sex act that occurs, whether it is explicitly described or not
0 (0.0%)

Tag for sex that is explicitly described only (vague or implied acts are ignored)
1 (25.0%)

Only tag for acts that are uncommon/fetish/high trigger potential
2 (50.0%)

Only use general tags (i.e. "sexual content" "choose not to use warnings" etc.)
0 (0.0%)

I don't have any preference
1 (25.0%)

how explicit is explicit anyway
0 (0.0%)

what are tags
0 (0.0%)

Related, how useful do you find style tags--"present tense" "drabble format" "second-person POV" etc? Is it something you appreciate when provided, or do you not notice/ignore it?

anyway, meme time.

Taken from tumblr: For ten days, I post an image from a video game that has impacted me without a single explanation and nominate somebody to take the challenge.

Ecco the Dolphin: Defender of the Future

i've never beaten this game, or any Ecco game for that matter, despite playing all of them. ~~okay, not Ecco Junior.~~

today's tag:

rutato who i don't think visits here anymore, but 🤷

The

three_weeks_for_dw fest is kind of, sort of in swing right now--the original community moderator isn't available, and there's been some confusion as far as the end/start dates, but that hasn't stopped people from posting stuff. \o/

Anyway there's a Animanga/manhwa/manhua drabblefest going on for 3W4DW, and I was thinking maybe there should be one for video games too? It would be different from having another friending meme, at least. :P

Would you be interested in a video game-themed drabblefest?

Yes

Yes, but I'd prefer different restrictions on fill lengths

No

Whatever...

I am shying away from hosting a regular comment-fic thing because there are already a lot of communities and challenges that specialize in that (

areyougame,

fic_promptly) but if people aren't interested in drabble-length fills then a regular comment fic fest it is!~
