First World Fic Problems
Recently, I've been acquainting myself with Archive of our Own and, as I must not be the only person to have this issue, be sure to skip over of you've heard this before...
So here I am, archiving my fic, little by little, on Ao3, rereading as I go --- in an effort to remind myself that I have written fic in the past and could maybe/possibly/probably do it again and even (*gasp*) finish my current WIPs (Yes, I know they've been sitting there for some time now. I don't know how people put up with me. My only excuse is my crippling lack of free time... and confidence,)
Anyway, during this process, I like to check out other tags, fandoms, etc,,, see what tickles my fancy. But in order to find that thing that tickles my fancy, I have to wade through a sea of things that don't.
I mean, is there a way to exclude a fandom from a search? Because, for crying out loud!
Some authors tag their fic with so much crap that it's no wonder I come across their fic for [INSERT FANDOM FOR SHOW THAT IS TOO TEENAGED FOR ME NOWADAYS] on everything I search.
