Hello, I’m DP and I thought I had a WIP habit, but @CL Mustafic beats mine. I started focusing on Jefferey at the start of the year because I want to resolve the outstanding WIPs before moving on the main story – however, there is one plot bunny that’s festering that I may have to work on.

What do you consider crazy? If so, look for those story warning tags, the more, the better! Or, just start reading everything.

You’re certainly allowed to list new tags/warnings under “other” if you need something more focused. In your [tent] example, I’d likely list it in the laundry list of tags at the top of the story, qualified as CYA, and leave it at that.

Episode #10 is posted.

Rape is a bit more black/white on usage, other tags can have a slippery slope. Even rape, though, if you’re talking sexual assault rather than sex, I could somebody thinking the rape doesn’t apply, especially if they think it’d scare readers unnecessarily (ie, for blood play, they’ve got blood, they’ve got sex, but the blood’s incidental, not really part of the sexual acts).. As to my method, if I’m unsure or the tag is background noise, I’ll list it along with a short annotation why it may apply (ie, Minor1 because kids are running around naked, but there’s no sex) – guess that means I’m tagging the tags?

@BronxWench I tend to overtag my stories, just to be cautious and to avoid the hassle. My comment earlier was speculation as to one reason, another being a thought of “I’ll never write X” as a self-imposed restraint for whatever reason, and they start to stray to cross line of tag-or-not. @Mal This wouldn’t be AFF if we didn’t have the knack for going off topic.

Some tags, like [rape], drastically cut down on readership, so that's one reason (of many) that someone mightbe reluctant to list it.
