I have enabled tagging by members. Here are the basic rules.
Rules for Tagging of Entries
1 ) General guidelines
i. Lower case only.
ii. Full titles, no abbreviations. i.e. Honey and Clover, not HachiKuro
iii. For non-English series, use English titles. i.e. Spirited Away, not Sen to Chihiro no Kamikakushi and Prince of Tennis instead of Tenisu no Oujisama.
2 ) Format: name of category_colon_space_title of fandom (remove the underscores)
e.g. animanga: naruto
books: harry potter
movies: spirited away
3 ) Year
This is necessary so people know which year this story was written and for which set of themes. The mod will create the tag for the year. Do not create any new tags for this category.
4 ) Tag titles and categories
i. animanga
Self-explanatory. I collapsed anime and manga into one category as many mangas are made into anime and occasionally vice versa.
ii. animation
All other animation series that is not anime. e.g. Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Avatar the Last Airbender. This also includes cartoons like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Care Bears.
iii. books
iv. movies
All movies, including comic and book adaptations, anime movies (e.g. The Golden Compass, Harry Potter, Spirited Away, Howl's Moving Castle)
v. television
Specifically for live-action series (as opposed to animated series). Supernatural, Blackadder, House etc all fall under this category. This also includes J-doramas and K-dramas.
vi. original fiction
Please do not create separate tags for original fiction series. They will all come under the general umbrella tag of "original fiction".
vii. graphic novels
For both traditional "superhero" titles like Batman, Superman, X-men and also more adult-themed graphic novels like "Lucifer", "100 Bullets", "Watchmen".
viii. crossovers
Regardless which fandom, any crossovers will fall under the umbrella category of "other: crossovers". Multiple tags may be used to identify which fandoms were in use.
e.g. Card Captor Sakura/Yuu-Gi-Oh! crossover
tags: [ 2008 ], animanga: card captor sakura, animanga: yuu-gi-oh!, other: crossovers
ix. video games
For both English and Japanese games, e.g. Halo, Final Fantasy, Metal Gear Solid etc.
This set of guidelines is a first cut. I will amend this based on feedback and comments in the future but from now on, please tag all your entries.
Thank you. :)
