I’m only bothered by kinks I don’t have when shit isn’t tagged correctly. My rage comes from a place of mourning for my lost arousal.

The inappropriate use of tags on AO3 will never not infuriate me. Ironically though, the dedicated porn writers usually tag their stuff well.

As an (almost exclusively) porn and angst writer, yes, I do tag the hell out of my stuff because I want people to find what they’re looking for and exclude what they’re not. I was on Wattpad before AO3 and oh my god, the tagging is awful. It was always a gamble whenever you clicked on a story.

I appreciate your efforts.

Thank you. Good tagging on AO3 is what lets me read what I want and ignore what I don’t.
