I've noticed a lot of new people lately, *waves to everyone* not to mention some fantastic new authors. But I've also noticed that not everyone is tagging. If you're a new author and don't yet have an author tag, that makes sense, but if you need a tag, ASK! ^_^ I may not post a lot anymore, but I'm always monitoring the comm, and if you PM me or even put a shout out in your post, I'll see it and I'll make sure you get what you need. That includes—but is not limited to—author tags, story tags for stories 3 chapters or more and rare pairings/characters that may not yet have their own tags yet.
When I catch tags missing, I often put them in myself, but I'm not going to catch every single one, so it's important that you, the author, make sure you tag your posts.
This place works in part as an archive, and it's only going to work that way if we have methods of searching for stories. If someone reads one of your stories and desperately needs more, then how else will they find it unless they're all tagged, right? ^_^
In short, tagging=good; not tagging=bad. :D
Peace out, yo.
