indeedsir_backupJust to give everyone a heads up, LJ in their infinite wisdom stupidity have decided that using forward slashes in tags is no longer valid. Obviously this is having a huge effect on LJ fandom, as pretty much everyone uses a / to denote a pairing.
Considering this is new and people are protesting it, this may change again soon, but as I'm going to be away for a week and don't want the tags to be broken for that long, I'm changing them around to use plus signs (+) instead. If they fix this, we'll go back to the usual slashes right away.
Thank you for your patience.
ETA: Official story from LJ is that the slash error is a mistake and they're working to fix it. The tags will go back to normal once I get word that it's all fixed.

Oh, nevermind - its not like many of their decisions this summer have made sense. ;) Thanks for the heads up though! And thanks for updating the tags!
