It's always ourselves we find in the sea

[sovay]

With the encouragement of ashnistrike, rushthatspeaks, and thisbluespirit who kindly provided me with an invite, I have edged slightly into the future and copied my tiny collection of fic over to AO3. It was either that or start retro-tagging entries on Dreamwidth.

Please feel free to come find me, signal-boost, whatever the etiquette is. I've got five fandoms and seven fics and no idea how to tag anything. I do not foresee myself participating in exchanges simply because I write an average of one piece of fanfiction a year, but then again until 2011 I did not foresee myself writing fanfiction at all.

Excelsior?

and knowing that many tags redirect to ("are synned to" in AO3 parlance) semantically identical tags for ease of searching. So if you're writing Lucy/Caspian, you can probably tag it any number of Lucy/Caspian, Caspian/Lucy, Lucy Pevensie/Caspian, etc. and it will display as what AO3 has decided is the authoritative tag.

Thanks! I noticed the redirection with a couple of character names and was not actually worried that I had done something wrong, but also was sure what governed it.

like Tumblr tagging, a sort of metadata narrative style of its own.

If you aren’t following ao3tagoftheday on Tumblr, it’s worth a look.
