In need of champion tag wranglers

[snickfic]

rebcake made the excellent suggestion that we set up a tagging system for this comm. Reb volunteered to help go back and tag old entries, and I can as well, but as of this post there are 1,668 entries in the comm (woohoo!) and so we could maybe use a couple more volunteers. *g* I'd also like someone to partner with me in tagging entries for future sessions.

Anyone game to do either or both? Or, further suggestions for tags? I can't guarantee we'll use them, but a little brainstorming would be a great help.

ETA: Taggers found! Thanks much to angearia, gillo, and abelina. However, suggestions for the tags themselves are still welcome.

At the moment I'm thinking the following tags:

+ tags for all seasons of BtVS, Ats S5, and post-series
+ author tags
+ form categories (fic: one-shot, fic: multi-chapter, poetry, art: icons, art: banner/wallpaper/manip, art: vid - what other art categories would be useful? What might people want to search specifically for?)
+ fic genre categories (post-apocalyptic, time travel, amnesia, episode-specific, vamped character, parenting - others? These are ideas I got from buffyversetop5. However, for the tag wranglers' sanity, we want categories that are not too subjective (like "angst") and can be easily identified from the fic header.)

¡Yay! I like the form categories, and think maybe you could have a "art:other" to capture anything unusual. I'm already thinking of Barb's "Attack of the Cookies Monsters" and mcneil's fumetti comic from the last round.

Genre categories will need to be strictly limited, for sanity's sake, as you say. Perhaps keep it to just one, two, or three maximum. Example: funny, time travel, babyfic (leaving aside the amnesia, body-swap, and Pinocchio crossover elements). Dunno, really. Tricky stuff.

You're right, I don't imagine most fics will have more than three genre elements. But I'm hoping for a fairly small number of genre categories, anyway, and only ones that are really obvious. I'm afraid "funny" might be too hard to judge, though.

Although, if someone wanted to write us a humorous Pinocchio time travel crossover with amnesia, bodyswap, and a baby at the end for the next round, I probably wouldn't complain... *g*

And yes, to the "art: other."
