Note from the Mods - On Tagging

[appleling.livejournal.com]

Hey everyone *waves*

As you may have already noticed, the tagging system has just been recently modified and rearranged to help you filter results better. Here is our current list of tags. Please use them to tag all future posts. If you forgot to tag your post, don't fret - it's not like the mods will bring the modhammer down on you (we're not your police offers :D). Just come back later to tag them.

Most of them are self-explanatory but some new ones may be a little bit confusing. So, here's to explain them:

• "- sharing my personal bookmarks" tag is for those who wish to share their own personal bookmarks/rec lists with this comm

• "+happy birthday draco!" tag is for any post(s) of any kind that generally involves celebrating or wishing our darling Draco, a very happy birthday. Could be the sharing of fanworks dedicated to celebrating Draco's birthday. Made a cute birthday card for Draco? Wanna share and/or shout your love for Draco on his birthday? Why not? Go ahead!

• "content:anti-malfoy" tag is for fics featuring the Malfoys as pariahs/outcasts (mostly post-war)

• "content:interhouse friendship" tag is for fics featuring interhouse friendship (e.g. Harry's friends are Draco's friends and vice versa. Of course, if you're creative enough, it could also mean interhouse hookupsrelationships like say, Ron/Pansy)

• "content:work partners" tag is for fics with the main pairing or the pairing you're searching for is in a work-related partnership (e.g. Auror partners)

• "- fic wip updates" tag is for chapter updates on a Work-In-Progress!fic.

• "!pimp post" tag is for any promotion of any kind of other fests/challenges/communities in the fandom.

• "- fic post" tag is for authors to post their written work here.

• "- art post" tag is for artists to post their graphics here.

• "- fic search" tag is for fic searches of any kind. There is no format to fic searching. Specific or general or whatever. As long as you have the want to read something Bottom!Draco related and you'd like to ask for help from the very helpful people here, I say go ahead and ask! Erm, politely of course :D

• "- icons/graphics" tag is for any kind of sharing of graphics that you think members/lurkers of this comm might be interested in. Found a sexy manip of Tom Felton? Wanna share? Why not? Go ahead! I have two words for you: Share! Mooaaarrr!

• "- unfound" tag is for (specific) fic searches that remain unfound/unanswered after an indefinite period of time.

• "- b!d savelists (otherfests)" tag is for a carefully selected list of recs from other fests/challenges/big bangs/ in the fandom that contain Bottom!Draco or Switching!fics. Yes, it has to be a list. A list per fest. No, it cannot be randomly mixed with other recs from...elsewhere. (e.g. HD Smoochfest 2010 Fest Recs - so the list should be all Smoochfest 2010.) Like the way the amazing ayurubie recs them (like a boss!)

• Any tag with the symbol ^ in front of it, is specifically for the posting of THIS COMMUNITY'S fest submissions and/or anything fest-related that are hosted by THIS COMMUNITY only. Doesn't necessarily mean these tags can only be used by the mods. If you are an author or artist who have participated in any fest hosted by this community and would like to re-post your work, you can use the appropriate ^ tag(s) - if and only if, the link to your previous submission has died/apparated/gone with the wind... so to speak.

I think it would be nice if the people who posted bottom!draco save-lists from fests got a tag.

Good idea! I've added in a "-b!d savelists (otherfests)" tag for this purpose specifically ;D

Is there a tag for searches that are still unanswered? I look through to make sure, but I didn't notice one (maybe I just missed it?). It might be helpful if there was one for searches that had gone unanswered for more than a few weeks/months.

Also I think I'd be able to help with tagging some old posts. I have a couple of weeks until I start the semester, so I have some free time! :)

No, right now we don't have a tag for unanswered searches but I'll add it in. It's called "- unfound". And thanks for volunteering to help! I'll pm you about the re-tagging thing :D
