A Small Suggestion

wrangletangle:

Hey guys, an AO3 tag wrangler here with a small suggestion for making the lives of wranglers and the Abuse volunteers and all your fellow users a little easier. You know that impulse to post a “PROMPT ME, I WILL TAKE ANY OF THESE 50 SHIPS IN 30 FANDOMS” work?

Please don’t. These make everyone cry.

Look at all those fandoms and ship tags… that this work doesn’t apply to! Look at the fact that this isn’t even a work yet! Look at all those tags you’re asking wranglers to wrangle, usually not the existing canonicals, that appear in the bins of 30 different wrangling teams, flooding the smaller teams and annoying the big ones! Look at the Abuse volunteers getting 3 reports for your work in the first day and having to talk to you and reply to each of those people!

I have a better suggestion: personal prompt meme.

Aw yeah, AO3 has prompt memes and allows personal collections! Imagine your personal prompt collection:

  • Control when it’s open and closed!
  • Post a link in the notes of all your works!
  • Post a link on your blog and your AO3 profile!
  • Post the things you’ll accept in the Rules/FAQ section of the collection!
  • Use claims or gifts to notify the prompter when you’ve posted a work for their prompt!
  • Easily delete prompts that don’t follow your rules!
  • Post each work separately and gift each one to the prompter to build relationships and encourage interest from new fans who just noticed your work!

So much control, so much useful organization, so many fewer frustrated users finding a work with two chapters, neither of which applies to most of the relationships or fandoms tags. Why burn your bridges with some users when you’re trying for positive attention for your works?

Just imagine it: “[YourName]′s Personal Prompt Meme*”. Your name on a collection on AO3. All for you.

Let’s make this a thing, yeah?

Making fun of i-am-fish posts for being lighthearted and harmless is embaressing and dookie-brained culture. Youre not funny for mocking people making innocent content.

the fish blog knowingly has pedo apologists and shit ton of racists in their server because their mods cant mod for shit i think its fair to say we’re allowed to take shots at the unfunny cishet bootlicker blog thats stuck in 2010 thanks

lets not forget the fact that she seems to be white and is certainly non-black and is constantly butchering aave and mae for goof points– literally making fun of the way poc talk isn’t innocent content. it would be one thing if she was just saying stuff like “uwu” or “pupper”, but shes not. she’s a racist, unfunny pedo apologist who would rather throw lgbt people under the bus than risk making her straight following uncomfortable

didn’t have to scroll that far honestly

im confused now h

lol it’s called a smear campaign

this is what happened to thomas sanders too just bc they found out he supported aces

also, about the one thing they actually did fuck up and not a server raid being taken out of context?

they literally acknowledged they fucked that up and they are literally trying to be a good person and not blindly defend themself

so let me get this straight: people started bashing this person because they support aces? Wow, it’s almost like they pull this with literally anyone that’s mildly notorious and has a tumblr.
Grow up, aces are lgbt so suck it up.
