Welcome to Funnyao3tags!
I have gotten a lot of questions recently about what tags people are allowed to submit, as well as how to do it. So I decided that it was finally time to stop procrastinating and actually explain it.
What tags am I allowed to submit?
Yes:
Tags from your own fic
Tags from a friends fic
Tags from any fandom
Tags from any ship as long as it doesn't break the rules stated below
Tags from works written without an existing fandom, also know on ao3 as an "original work"
Tags from a work in non-written format (i.e fan art, podfics, book bindings, etc.)
No:
Tags containing spoilers for recently published media, such as "No beta we die like X in the latest episode". None-recently published media spoilers is okay
Tags in a language other than English (unless the meaning of the tag is obvious despite the language)
Tags from authors who have stated that they do not want their tags or fics shared or submitted
Tags describing violent or inappropriate acts committed against children
"No beta we die like X" tags that include a real person that has died within the last 50 years or so
Tags that make fun of atrocities, genocides, or in general human suffering
Tags from a fic that was clearly written to be rage bait or with the purpose of causing harm or distress of other people
tags from fics with sexist, racist, abelist, homophobic, or in general anything with discriminatory intent. This does not mean fics that depict these things in ways that make it clear that it is wrong.Â
Tags from RPF fanfics about people who have stated they are not comfortable being written about ( in general or in specific pairings )
Tags from RPF smut or romance fanfics about people who are related, unless its historically accurate
Tags from RPF fanfics of people committing violent acts or crimes against other beings, dead or alive
Tags from fanfics that are Ai generated or assisted
How do I submit a tag?
The most ideal way to submit a tag is to include a link to the work and with it either write what tag it is you were thinking of, or to submit a picture of it. It does not matter if you do not have light mode on or if there are other tags visible as i will be taking my own screenshot and edit that before posting it.
But you do not have to do all of that to submit a tag (even though it is the easier way for me)Â
If you see a fic with multiple fun tags you can submit the link and tell me that there are multiple tags.Â
If you have a screenshot of a tag but don’t remember the fanfic you can submit it and I will do my best to find it, but there’s no guarantee.
In general if you submit something that could lead me to find the tag I probably will. but following the guide stated above does make it easier for me.
If you do not wish to be mentioned in the post please say so in your submission or submit it anonymously. if you do not include any indication against it you will be tagged in the post as following ”Thank you @Username for the submission!”, yes i’m very original i know…
Other things!
If you submit something that goes against the rules stated above you will not be blocked, I will simply delete the submission and not post it.
I cannot guarantee that your submission will be posted. I post a large majority of the submissions I receive but I do sometimes get a submission that doesn't fit my own humour.
If I do decide to post your submission it's not guaranteed to be right away, I generally have enough posts in my queue to last me a couple of weeks, what I post each day mostly relies on what's trending at the moment and what I'm finding particularly funny that day. Therefore it can be a while before you submission is posted.
As some of you may have noticed you cannot directly message me. If you do need to reach me you can message me through my main blog @potatoemanisme
If I have posted a tag from you fic and you want it taken down, please let me know! You can contact me through my main blog. Please include which post it is you want to be taken down and provide proof that it is indeed you work. If you cannot provide proof that it is yours the post will not be taken down.
If you would like me to add anything to the rules, or if you see that I have posted something that breaks them (nobody's perfect, not even me) please let me know and I will take care of it!
I don't know how to end this post. okay bye.
