hate sex does not mean lack of consent, add a noncon or dubcon tag if needed. any other form of abuse should also be tagged

degradation/insults does not imply the use of slurs, add a tag of which slurs will be used

violence does not mean character death, add a tag about it

use the reader insert tag properly: if you describe any non-universal features, say so (i.e. blue eyed!reader, black!reader, etc.). if you do not want to assign a gender to the reader but want to describe their anatomy, it's okay to write amab!reade, afab!reader, intersex!reader. do not state it's a reader insert if it's an oc written in 1st or 2nd pov, that's still about the oc

for readers: it's okay if a creator you like or something you see something on your fyp that seems interesting to you has a tag that doesn't suit you. nothing is written specifically for you, and even requests don't magically know what you look like/prefer. don't be whiny about it, just move on or reread something you already liked

if your fic is a slowburn and only the ending is dddne, still mark those tags at the beginning. it doesn't matter if you think it will 'ruin the surprise', people should still know what exactly they are reading

if you don't want minors interacting with sfw works, also mark those as mdni. they can't guess if you're mdni based off the vibes of your post in their feed

it's better to over-tag than to miss a tag

if you even have a hunch that something is supposed to be tagged, tag it
