Mod Post: Tags and Interests

[everysecondtuesday]

Welcome to genspn!

This comm is under construction. everysecondtuesday will be gone off and on this weekend, but lizfu will be around through Sunday, and everysecondtuesday will be back by that evening. In the meantime, we want to gather ideas for tags and interests. If there's anything you think we're missing, speak up! This post is one that is open forever.

Later posts will discuss changing the headers to better match the needs of the comm, our spoiler policy, and much, much more, but we're trying to divide the work into manageable steps. If you notice any immediate and major problems with our bio and policies, feel free to poke us here, but the main topic of discussion we're looking for is what you'd love to see not already listed in our interests and what you would find most useful for tagging.

General tagging we're considering: characters; ratings; word counts; author, vidder, artist, etc. tags for people with three or more posts; type (AU, crossover, pie or Impala love, whatever you'd like to suggest here); medium (fic, vid, art, meta, discussion, icons, etc.). Any tag category you'd like to add? Specific tags for the type category? (Yes, lizfu, "type: pie love" will be a tag.) Disagreement with the proposed three or more posts rule? Thoughts on whether authors, vidders, artists, and so on should be divided up into categories, or all together under the umbrella tag "creators: [username]" so a person's fan art and vids aren't separated? What intervals should be used for word count?

The floor is open for all discussion and suggestions! everysecondtuesday has a strange, near-disturbing love for tagging and digital organization, so feel free to talk as much as you'd like to her about this.

This is a test post of what tagging could look like if we go for the umbrella creators tags and if the intervals of the word count tags were based off Tuesday's personal fic Delicious tags. everysecondtuesday will take no offense if you find these intervals useless for your needs and want to do something else.

I thought I could start things off with a recs post, if we're open for business? Should I just tag it 'recs' (and then add the relevant character/type tags)?

Query

Greetings!

I'm starting up a community for comment-sized Supernatural fanworks, spn_bitesized, and I was wondering about affiliating with genspn and/or posting a comm announcement.

We're modeled after commentfic memes, so we'll post a weekly theme and then ask for prompts and responses to that theme. We accept all mediums for fanworks; we also accept all genres, all ratings, and all pairings. We'll post themes every Friday, and our first theme goes live this Friday, April 2.

If you want to take a look around and see what we're up to, all of spn_bitesized's foundational documents are linked off of the community profile.

Best,
Blue

I mod supernatural_women and was wondering if you'd like to affiliate? Thank you.
