In order to keep well structured our tags system, and make it easy for people to find particular posts I have added a couple of tags, and shall be explaining the way we'd like for our users to tag their entries in regards to the 'continuities/universes' to post in.
As of today, we currently possess the following 'universe tags': tf-2007, tf-animated, tf-shattered glass, tf-mirrorverses. Plus, we've added the following auxiliar tags: human/holo, and gender bending. If the users believe we need any more tags in this regard, please let us know.
By default, if your entry is not tagged with an especific tf-2007/animated/shattered glass/mirrorverse entry, it is understood the content is G1 based. This means anything from the cartoon to the different comic continuities, toylines, and even Alternate Universes using G1 as its base, so please, we beg you to tag your entries properly to make it easier for people to find your entries.
tf-2007: Is your tag dealing with the events of the Transformers Live Action movie, and all supporting material derived from it (the novels and prequel comics as well as the sequel comics like Reign of Starscream.) If Jazz is a Pontiac Solstice in your fanfic, or they crash landed in 2007 in search for the Allspark, then your entry must be tagged tf-2007. In the case where your Alternate Universes mix elements from more than one series/continuity use the appropriate tags for all the continuities you're mixing.
tf-animated: For any fanfiction dealing with Prowl and Jazz as portrayed in the Transformers: Animated series. I believe this one's pretty self explainatory. Likewise, if you mix up elements from other continuities into this one, tag the entries properly.
tf-shattered glass: This is where it gets a little tricky. Shattered Glass is not quite the same as a mirrorverse. Although the Shattered Glass is an 'official' mirror universe, it is significantly different from all other continuities and does not equal 'all autobots = bad. All Decepticons = good.' For your entry to be tagged 'tf-shattered glass', it must be based heavily on the outline laid by the toys and/or the botcon 08 comic. If Jazz is a Bugatti Veyron, brother of Ricochet, and bodyguard of Optimus Prime in your entry, then it must be tagged 'tf-shattered glass'.
tf-mirrorverses: Any and all plots centering about evil Autobots and heroic Decepticons that do not follow the Shattered Glass outline go here. If your evil Jazz is a Pontiac Solstice, a Porsche, a Mazda RX8, or the sporty TFA car; or Prowl's whatever vehicle you have chosen for 2007verse Prowl, a Datsun, a Nissan, an Acura, or the TFA motorbike then your entry must be tagged 'tf-mirrorverses' in addition to the propper universe tag.
I believe the human/holo and gender bending tags are self explainatory enough. Any questions, suggestions, etc in regards to the tags, feel free to post them here and I'll try to answer to the best of my capacity.
Thank you, and sorry for the uber long post!
