Can I Make Tumblr Auto-Tag Stuff? Let’s Talk About Tags!
Ah, the fabulous world of Tumblr and its intricate web of tags! If you’re looking to make Tumblr auto-tag your masterpiece, then my friend, you might want to take a seat because it’s a bit more nuanced than just flipping an auto-tag switch. But don’t worry, I’ll guide you through the delightful chaos of tagging, and we’ll make sure you don’t drown in a sea of confusion or, heaven forbid, ranting readers!
First things first, let’s chat about the importance of relevancy in your tags. If you’re tagging a relationship or a character, make sure they actually matter! For example, if Character A only sneezes near Character B once and never appears again, is it really necessary to drag your poor readers into *that* mess? (Spoiler: No.) Instead, tag those juicy, juicy relationships that hold some real weight. Keep it relevant, people!
Now, a word about commentary: Feel free to sprinkle a bit of your personality in the tags, but do it with style! A fun addition like, “I sacrificed my sleep for this!” can give a glimpse into your authorial soul without taking up the entire *dashboard*. Remember, we want people to be excited, not overwhelmed!
While you’re fishing for fandom-specific tags, why not *poke around* to discover what others are using? Resources like Fanlore are rich with tag meanings and fandom lore—it’s like diving into a treasure chest but with fewer pirates and more nerds. Tagging is a rite of passage, not a chore, so explore other fan fictions and see what makes your heart sing!
And let’s discuss hierarchy: Organizing your tags can save readers’ precious scrolling fingers! Start with the universe (is it modern, alternate, or just plain bizarre?), follow up with genre (fluff, drama, angsty goodness?), and then get into the nitty-gritty specifics. This way, interested folks can skim through and find what they love—or avoid that *Hurt/Comfort* if they’re not feeling masochistic that day.
And here’s an insider tip: Use “Dead dove, do not eat” wisely! It’s not a replacement for tags but a powerful warning for those who might be embarking on a treacherous journey into your narrative. It’s like saying, “Hey! If you dive in, remember it gets intense!” That’s just good author etiquette.
Pro tip! If you’ve got modifiers or unique twists—like “one-sided A/B”—stick them in the *Additional Tags* so they don’t overshadow the essence of the canonical tags. This keeps everything neat and orderly, just like your childhood room should have been! (But hey, no judgment here if it wasn’t.)
Finally, feel free to add a splash of your quirky humor in your tags. Just like a side note on a dinner menu, a little flair can go a long way, as long as you don’t drown us in a sea of words. With a nice balance of tag usefulness and personal charm, you’ll have readers swooning over your work like it’s a romantic comedy gone right!
