Introducing our new tagging system!

[bottomdraco-mod.livejournal.com]

This post is to aid all members on how to go about tagging their entries. We have defined the terms we believe need to be clarified for accurate tagging purposes.

TAGGING SYSTEM

---

If you are posting your own fic/art, please tag it with your lj username or penname, like so: 'author:_____' or 'artist:______'.

If you are posting a fic/art recommendation, please do NOT tag the entry with the name of the artist or author being recced.

If you feel that we do not have a tag that meets your needs, comment here with your requested tag.

If you still have questions regarding a tag, fic/art search, post, rec, comment and we will try our best to answer you.

Please do not be alarmed by the seemingly endless requirements for posting an entry. If you miss or forget to add a tag, you will not be penalized, we mods will be here to add them appropriately. Likewise, if you are confused, frightened by rules and regulations, feel like strangling us for implementing them, or just want to show some appreciation, we are at your disposal!
