how to tag your posts

[mimblexwimble.livejournal.com]

This community has a stringent tagging requirement. Which means you will feel our modly wrath if you fail to obey these rules... just kidding. But it would be nice if everyone tried to tag their fics to the best of their ability so all your wonderful stories are easily accessible and don't end up floating unmoored in the bowels of this community. Because that would be sad.

We've borrowed our tagging system from hoodie_time, which means tag names concern whatever type of torture you're subjecting Sam to in your fic - in other words, tags are named by ailment/malady/injury. Since tags don't show up in the sidebar unless they've been used once, you're going to want to go over here and check out the full list.

HOW TO TAG YOUR POSTS

1. Go through the tag list.
2. If you can't find what you're looking for, double-check: would the tags "supernatural illness" or "supernatural injury" work? If not, go for something less specific - for example, instead of looking for Alzheimer's, use dementia, instead of ADD or ADHD use behavioral disorder and instead of dyslexia use learning disorder. If you want to keep Sam's injury/illness a surprise, we have an "undisclosed" tag. If there's still a tag that you're in need of, drop us a line on this post, contact a mod or e-mail us at oh-sam [at] hotmail [dot] com.
3. Hit post!

Using more than one tag is perfectly fine and encouraged, but you don't have to tag for every single thing Sam's going through either. If you need another pairing tag, again, just ask. If you would like tags for specific injuries - like bullet wound, please don't hesitate to ask. We're an easy going place and I would love to add tags for you.

Hi! I tried to add the art/graphics tag to my entry and it wouldn't let me. I didn't see it on the list of tags in the drop down, either. Am I doing something wrong?

Hi! I added it for you - I'm not sure why it wasn't letting you tag. :/

[digitalwave]

I'm not sure either but it just kept giving me an error message. Thanks so much for adding it for me! :)

Hiya! I was wondering what something like "bullying" should be tagged under. Just Physical assault? And for a multichaptered fic, if something like "flu" only takes up one or two chapters, would you prefer it just be tagged for the relevent chapters or the entire fic?

[mimblexwimble.livejournal.com]

I can add a "bullying" tag for you! And for a multichaptered fic, I'd say tag just the relevant chapters, but if you'd like to tag all of them, that's fine too. We won't come after you with machetes. :D

I do appreciate it when people aren't coming after me with machetes :)
And a bullying tag would also be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I was wondering, would Sam's faith issues warrant its own tag? Like how he used to pray and stuff, but how during the series and especially season four, it's like his faith was systematically dismantled. I'm not sure what you would call that. I tagged my fic as 'insecurities' for now.

I suppose while I'm at it, would it be possible to add episode tags for Lazarus Rising, Metamorphosis, and It's The Great Pumpkin Sam Winchester? :)

I named the tag "faith (etc.)" but if you think of something better, I'd be happy to rename it. And I added the episode tags too. :)

[twoskeletons.livejournal.com]

Awesome, thank you!

Hi, I was wondering if maybe there should be a tag for Trials, since that's likely to be an ongoing h/c theme? I just used "supernatural illness," but something more specific might help people find stuff on the theme.
