shinyandnew tagging scheme
Tagging volunteers, please refer to this post when creating or applying tags to stories. If you're unclear about any of the rules, please ask.
TAGS
Author tags
author:[lj username|pseud(s)]
e.g. author:flambeau:torch.
Single character name tags
nsync:[character]
bsb:[character]
- group - used for gsf, or other stories where all five characters are equally important in the story, rather than using all five character name tags.
e.g. bsb:aj, bsb:group.
Pairings including only the members of Nsync and/or BSB.
nsync:[alphabetical/character/names]
bsb:[alphabetical/character/names]
xover:[alphabetical/character/names]
- :challenge - a challenge announcement (where specific stories are not listed)
- /multi (use as the second name when it's an X/various others story)
- :gsf
- :gen
Only create the threesome+ tags as they are required.
e.g. nsync:chris/justin, nsycn:justin/lance, nsync:chris/justin/lance, nsync:chris/joey/justin/lance, nsync:gsf, nsync:justin/multi, nsync:gen, nsync:challenge.
Pairings including other real people
b-other:[character/names] - bsb character(s) first
n-other:[character/names] - nsync character(s) first
x-other:[character/names] - bsb and nsync characters(s) first
- :challenge: - (challenge announcements where specific stories are not listed)
- cw rps (all cw/wb rps characters - do not create individual pairing tags with the other fandom characters' names)
- bandom (all bandom characters - do not create individual pairing tags with the other fandom characters' names)
Add any other rps groupings as needed.
e.g. n-other:justin/britney, n-other:lance/justin/jesse, x-other:chris/howie/lynn, b-other:aj/bandom, n-other:challenge:u2.
Pairings between members of other real boybands, no BSB or Nsync characters included
other:[group name(s)] - do not create individual pairing tags with the other characters' names.
e.g. other:take that.
Genre tags, including the tag for media fandom crossovers
genre:
- genre:AU - (may be a future/historical setting, or fantasy, SF etc, or a modern day real world setting where the characters are not and have never been members of Nsync or BSB - not including crossovers with media fandoms)
- :AU:hs/college - (high school or college AUs)
- :mpreg
- :genderswitch
- :crossdress
- :bdsm
- :magicalrealism - (egg-laying, transformations, wingfic, sudden appearance of unicorns)
- :fandomxover:[fandomname] (for crossover with media fandoms - do not create individual pairing tags with the other fandom characters' names)
- :lamp (no need for all the lamp pairing tags!)
- :reunion - (stories specifically dealing with groups getting back together after hiatus - does not, therefore, include all post-hiatus BSB stories)
e.g. genre:AU:hs/college, genre:fandomxover:sga.
Admin tags
admin - (general admin posts)
admin:brokenlink - (if link 404s, leads to an ad-squatting site, etc)
admin:flocked - (if link leads to a locked LJ post)
admin:relinked (if working link added in comments)
