Question

[rivulet027]

In a few days Power Rangers Femslash Ficathon will go up! I'm going back to the same schedule we had the first year. This will be it's third year! Yay! All of you are awesome!

So this year do you want it to be run the same as it always was on LJ/DW or did you want it on Ao3 with a Masterlist put on LJ/DW?

Opinions? Thoughts?

Okay, now that I'm a bit more awake and more clear on what's going on here.

The tags on AO3 are as a rule user-generated. If a tag doesn't exist, it means nobody used it yet. There are some databse things for making tags searchable, but that's totally on the wrangler end: fics tags witth "Cassie Chan/Ashley Hammond" and with "Ashley Hammond/Cassie Chan" and with "Cassie/Ashley (Power Rangers)" all go to the same place. You can tag how you want. The tag wrangler for the fandom will take care of things.

There are some situations where seeding tags pre-use are necessary, e.g. for challenges that use tag sets. Most challenge go through Support to fix that, but I'm the tag wrangler for PR - I can create those tags for you. And if anything ever comes up that requires Admin access, I can page an admin directly, without needing to go through Support to get a wrangling admin or *handwave* You get the point.

And I can also tell you that the general spirit among tag wranglers is "Yay new tags!" So no, really, "would AO3 let us" is not a concern.

I was commenting while half asleep too. I meant in the 'AO3 wouldn't let us' as the system wouldn't have all the right tags. Someone on my reading list had been having some problems with getting the tag sets to work with a challenge she's doing, so I wasn't sure how easy of a fix it was. I'm glad to hear it won't be an issue. <3
