This is about fanworks specifically on tumblr where you tag things both for others to find and for your own blog organisation. How do you feel when fan creators tag characters who don't play any significant role in the fanwork? For example: a character that appears only in one panel of a fancomic and doesn't do anything important, a character who only appears in one or two scenes of a fic without any focus, a character mentioned in passing in a meta, and so on. Assuming there is nothing unusual or eye catching with the appearence.

- i really dislike when others tag like that

- it's annoying but not a deal breaker

- neutral

- i kinda like it

- i really like it / my favourite method of tagging

- depends on the character or other things

(i am also interested in reading thoughts in tags and replies because personally i don't know how to feel about it since on tumblr you tag both for your own blog and for the search, and some people like to see even glimpses of their blorbos while others don't like when character tags are clogged with something not really relevant)

When you are reading, do you like to be surprised (by things like plot events, stylistic choices, character development, or endings), or do you prefer to know what you're going to read before you start, based on the description/tags/summary?

I enjoy being surprised by fics and books.

I enjoy being surprised by fics, but not books.

have you ever blocked someone just for being in a certain fandom?

yes; because the fandom's source material was problematic

yes; but not because the fandom's source material was problematic

yes; i've done both #1 and #2

no, but i've blocked people for other fandom-related reasons

no

nuance???

(on the difference between one and two: choosing option two doesn't mean that the fandom source material you blocked someone for WASN'T problematic, just that that wasn't the main reason why you blocked them for being in that fandom.)
