Every time a Tommy-centric sbi fic appears in my field of vision I grow into an indescribable rage and feel the wrath of god well up inside of me. I have had his name and his tag and every sbi related tag blocked for over a year now and yet people almost seem to go out of their ways to mistag things on ao3 to bring them clout and attention despite it not being a social media website. It’s an archive, it’s not twitter, it’s an archive. If people don’t read your stuff, it isn’t because of an algorithm, it’s because you have the originality of a deep-sea marine tube worm
The day that people in that goddamn fandom learns that ao3 isn’t a social media website and they start tagging shit properly and not for views is the day I can rest happily
#I've blocked so many people on Ao3 for shoving their things into the QSMP TAG#*tag#and the PAC tag of all things????#Leave my man out of your fics your story isnt even about him stop tagging 1000 characters when you mention them maybe once in your story#also same rage at those people with tag lists longer than their dang fics#Glad I saw this post because I literally opened tumblr to write something absolutely scathing about the same topic#like if you want to write sbi tommy or whatever do what you want. I hate it but I dont care#Just keep it out of the tags#I dont want to see every fandom and character under the sun tagged in your 300 word fic about Tommy#HE WASNT EVEN IN QSMP STOP PUTTING THEM IN THE QSMP TAG!!!!!!#fandom wank#ao3#dsmp#qsmp#Tangentially#I'm salty thank you for posting this AD it makes me feel less crazy#I used to feel mean about hating that stuff but now I'm like no I'm right actually.#Stop spamming Ao3 tags
