 Okie dokie, so here's a little tagging guideline for you guys who are confused about what to tag your posts. Please use these as a reference, and if you need any more assistance, contact a mod for help. :D


Rating Tags

G: Suitable for everyone
PG: Some material may not be suitable for children.
PG-13: Some material may be inappropriate for children under 13.
R: Under 17 requires accompanying by a parent or adult guardian.
NC-17: Strictly for 18 and above. Contains explicit/adult content. (though I know there are those younger perverts like me xD) 
    *Remember to lock R/NC-17 fics to the comm!

Length tags:

Drabbles: Short fics, usually 500 words or less
Oneshots: Only one chapter, stand-alone works, more than 500 words
Twoshots: Only two chapters
Threeshots: Three chapters

! tags: (I'm not sure what else to call them)

Only thing I have to say about this is that if you're advertising, please as a mod before doing so. Other than that, the rest is pretty straight forward. :)

Fanwork tags:

Fanfiction: Written works, purely fictional 
Fanart: Artworks, either hand-drawn, or photo manipulation. 
Fanmix: Collections of songs, or an album reflecting on characters, movies, songs, etc
Video: Videos made, eg. Parodies about Myunyeol

Genre Tags:

Action: Also known as Shounen, includes things like fighting and violence, more fast-paced action
Adventure: Revolves around character(s) going on a trip/journey, usually for good fortune
Angst: Sad. more depressing works
AU: Alternate universe, works placed in a different setting than realistically (examples being high school, Netherland...whatever you can think of)
Drama: Brings on a more emotional response, ie through tension or sadness
Fantasy: Anything but ordinary, with magic, secret lands, all that fancy stuff
Fluff: Happy, light, cute works that, well, are just adorable X3
Horror: Fearsome, terrifying works that are frightening (and usually not too good on the faint hearts)
Humour: or Comedy, just funny little things to bring some nice laughs to everyone
Mystery: Unsolved cases, mysterious events, anything that makes you keep guessing until the end with all the clues you have 
Smut: Sexual scenes occurring. If it is implied, or very slight, then still put it in the smut genre, but rate it as R unless the scene is very explicit.

I believe I covered everything, except for author tags because I felt that was quite straightforward. But for those who need it, you match the tag with the first letter of your username. So for example, I am darkqueen_25, so I would list a post of mine under the "author:d" tag. :)

Now onto the announcement! It isn't that exciting, but because this is a new community, positions as mods and maintainers are open now. If you are interested, feel free to PM me or napookie. If you become a mod or maintainer, you must be willing to free yourself for the community. THIS IS NOT A PART-TIME THING. Please take the job very seriously, and help as much as you can. Of course, there are times when you won't be available, but that's why we have more than on administrator! Let's all get along, okay? We don't bite, I promise! Well I'm not sure about naput-chan.... xD
