tagging

[derien.livejournal.com]

Someone brought to my attention my ancient fic On Bended Knee (which is really weak in the ending, yeah... I keep thinking I might rewrite it) and I started choosing some tags for it since I happened to be looking at it. I'm not sure, though, if I should apply 'genre: drama' or 'genre: angst' - it doesn't seem quite enough to warrant either. What do you think?

Also, I'm using both 'pairing: bertie/jeeves' and 'pairing: bertie/gussie' for Absence of Madeline, even though it's actually triad: bertie/jeeves/gussie - but that's not an option, so do you think the two pairing thing works?

Not having a working Ctrl key really sucks when doing a lot of tags. Even more when I've got to go through the same process of 'pick a tag, save changes, go back to tag page, pick a tag, save changes' for not only my post on indeedsir but again on my own journal because I posted a link here and the actual story there, as in the case of my mike/psmith fics. I'm not going to get them all done today, so don't even start looking. (I did a few, but now I'm past time to be moving and getting ready for work & etc.) I need a new keyboard.

I wish I had new writing to offer you all - I do adore Mike/Psmith pslash and want to write more of it, but it's been ages since I read the stories and I've been trying to work on an original fic when I can write. Big, massive writer's block has also been looming over me for a couple of years. :(

i was asking the same questions when i was trying to tag "the rum sitch with rocky". i think we need a general threesome tag.

[derien.livejournal.com]

I second the motion for a threesome tag! It's not like we're going to get all the charcters in every possible pairing and threesome into tags, but that would give people an indication.

[waqaychay.livejournal.com]

definitely. and it's not like there are a lot of threesome fics in this fandom, anyway. i can think of maybe three or four. so one tag should cover it.

[brewsternorth.livejournal.com]

*nods* That works. Two pairings involved in the threesome, and then a catchall "threesome/moresome" tag or some such.

[waqaychay.livejournal.com]

"threesome/moresome"... that's a great idea! that will cover just about anything. :)

[random-nexus.livejournal.com]

Put my vote in for "Threesome/Moresome" too! Should be an option, indeed.

[random-nexus.livejournal.com]

Eep! So...that means you have no...control... *sleepy giggles* Okay, more coffee for me. *self-applied smacking*

No, really, I SO sympathize with the massive writer's block thing. I hope you can chisel under and eventually dynamite the darned thing.

*Offers e-dynamite and cake*

I don't!!! :D

Mm, dynamite and cake, yum. :) (thanks :))

You don't have to go to the tag page over and over again! I have the same problem, just write the tags yourself, with a comma between. Goes faster, I think... :/

And yes, you should go back to writing ;P

I'm just nervous about what will happen if I typo. Only, with the tags on a group that will probably be nothing at all. Hm. I'm stupid.

[castalianspring.livejournal.com]

I'm happy to create a pairing: bertie/jeeves/gussie tag for you, if you want.

[waqaychay.livejournal.com]

could we possible just have a threesome/moresomes tag? that way, it'd cover my jeeves/rocky/bertie fic and the other threesome fics i have planned, too, without having to make tags for all the possible variations.

[castalianspring.livejournal.com]

That's doable, too, if it's what everyone would prefer. It would certainly cut down on the number we need.

[derien.livejournal.com]

yes! :)

[waqaychay.livejournal.com]

that would be wonderful! thank you!

[derien.livejournal.com]

It would seem inefficient, because then you'd have to make a bertie/jeeves/rocky and whoever else someone thinks of (bingo always seemed like a good possibility...).
