vegas-everywhere-we-are:alex51324:mostlyinthemorning:I kind of suck at tagging, so I made this infographic to help make it easier. Hey, thanks for making this! I’ve never struggled with what to put in tags on my fic, but I’ve never been systematic about it, either–I just kind of put whatever.The categories seem like a really useful way to think about it–not every fic will necessarily have something for each category, but it’s a good framework for either thinking of things to put, or making sure you don’t skip things that would be good to put.
