Linked Universe now has its own canonized fandom tag!

This is absolutely amazing, because it makes it easier for us to find each other’s work, and easier for non-LU people to filter by exclude. But there is a small hiccup, a baby little problem. Allow me to explain.

Previously, the advice was given that since there was no canon fandom tag, that works should *also* be tagged with Linked Universe as an additional tag. This tag has over 8k works in it! Damn!

But… the new canonical fandom tag only has 4k works in it. Why? Because about half of the fandom was not using the fandom tag, only the additional tag.

I knew this day was coming, so I tagged LU as the fandom, which paid off! All my fics are now neatly sorted. But if you didn’t preemptively tag a non-canonized fandom… your fics are now a bit lost and unsorted.

This is your notice to go open those works up and fix the tags!

Okay everyone this has been your tag wrangler PSA and GO US!

"You could get up early and do it before work" I could also wait for a magic beanstalk to start growing in my living room LMAO. Let's focus on things that happen in the real world

Non-writers don't understand how much of writing is just googling things like "when was the croissant invented" for worldbuilding reasons and staring off into the distance.

[a-little-bit-of-ravioli]

yeah

[a-little-bit-of-ravioli]

so close! the correct answer was "I love you most".

saw an elderly woman walking around with a tote bag whose design were the four AO3 fic category squares and she very excitedly asked if i was a reader or a writer bcs nobody else at the con had recognized it, and after telling her that i've been writing fic since fanfic.net, she solemnly nodded and explained that she'd been reading fic since "the days of personal websites" but that she only started writing fanfic when she was 47 and oh my god when i tell you that i genuinely teared up on the spot!!!!! like!!! HELL YEAH???? LITERALLY NEVER TOO OLD TO START WRITING. NEVER TOO OLD TO WRITE AND SHARE YOUR FIC.

her enthusiastic "i'm a very nice and bubbly person, i swear! but i love writing angst and major character death :)" nearly took me the fuck out.

icon. legend. diva. i wish her nothing but a kajillion million comments and kudos. i hope her fic updates crash AO3. i hope she knows i'm promoting her to my personal patron saint of AO3.
