There are no spoilers in this post. Unless formless writer angst is spoilery. Which it's not, I have that about everything.
Right now I'm waiting on a final beta check so I can post a little gen Endgame story, and normally my relationship to tags on AO3 is, if you make me because of archive rules? I'll use it. But adding extra tags is just...too hard. I never do it unless it's obvious, like first time or something. (There's a Tags Are Hard tag, and every time I post a story, I consider using it, and then I don't.)
But this time, I opened up the posting window to prep all the stuff for inserting the story text, and next thing you know, my finger slipped and I had smashed out like 20 freeform tags. Uh. I guess...I have some feelings?? That are more properly channeled into fic. I should not start embracing those freeform tags now. Should I?
*deletes eight tags, considers, leaves the rest*
I need to get to work on the next story, too. Also gen.
*adds one more tag*
writing is hard
