Wow how long is that going to take you? You certainly are commited. Are you going from the start of Lure_atwts and going post by post? What about multi chapters or works in progress?
I've actually got a few more: Alcoholism/Drunk!Luke (Fics that deal with Luke's drinking) Collaboration (For any fic written by multiple authors) Damian Ethan Faith First ILY First kiss Natalie OC (Original Character, for fics where either of the boys date an original character, like Reid/Matt in Always Attract (stl29tide) Triangle fic (For fics that are specifically about the LuRe/Nuke triangle) And perhaps Pre-canon, one for fics, where Luke and Reid meet or fall in love at a different time in canon, like in Mech_Bull's Consult-verse, Always Attract, Bulletproof (Blasthisass), Save Me (Slayerkitty) etc.
I've got Luke/Other and Reid/Other, should we have Luke/OC, Reid/OC as well, or instead of? Also, should we have a tag just for significant OC, even if they're NOT dating one of the two?
For Pre-Canon, I was trying to figure out if those would be AU or Extreme AU, but I really think Pre-Canon is an even better tag. But: Would we also tag those AU or Extreme AU?
I am selfishly gleeful to be infecting others with my obsession. :-)
I'm thinking Luke/Other or Reid/Other would be fine, with a seperate OC-tag, if the "Other" is an OC, or if the OC plays a significant role. Always Attract would get tags like OC (For Matt) ánd Reid/Other (for Reid/Matt)???
Pre-Canon would also be AU, or Extreme AU, but Pre-canon would specifically refer to fics that incorporate canon like the fics I mentioned. A Pre-canon (and AU) fic like Bulletproof (with Reid as Luke's doctor, when Canon!Luke got shot) would be different from an AU (But not Pre-Canon) fic like 'A time to love' (with Reid as Luke's biology teacher) by Spice_sprinkles.
You are doing a really impressive job. I know you have Top!Reid and Top!Luke but should you have Bottom!Reid and Bottom!Luke for cases where one of the guys are with another character? I'm fine if you don't think there would be enough to warrant the tag. I'm so glad AlissaBlue asked for an alcholism tag - I love drunk luke.
Tagging every fic is going to be really time-consuming. If you list a step by step instruction on how to do this, maybe the authors who are intersted in this can do their own fics and then work their way through other fics if those authors don't do their own?
On the one hand, yes! On the other hand, I'm a frustrated librarian with a specialization in indexing, so I love it! On the other foot, I don't want to put the onus on the author's to do their own, cause they write the fics. I picked up the other foot and fell down, so now I'm just nursing my bruised tailbone.
I am thinking that the initial going back through is going to be crazy nutty (though I have some initial work done), but going forward it should become fairly easy.
Now - here was my thought on ratings tags. Entries for those would be REALLY long, and convoluted for multi-chapter fics. If you're looking for just R and NC-17, you're guaranteed to find it under Smut or PWP or BDSM, for G, PG-13, you'll find more under Gen or Schmoop or Fluff or kid!fic. I think it works if the ratings are just included with the link in the tagged entries.
But maybe I'm wrong? This is always a distinct possibility.

I'd also do a regular AU one too, since not all AU is early and not all is extreme either.
Otherwise looks good.
I'd also add violence and rape tags, just in case.

Should NC17 be a tag?

So... G/PG, PG-13, R and NC-17?
