for the love of god, don't tag ZoSan content as "SanZo", bottom!zoro has 10% of the ships's content and Zosan is the popular tag, there's NO NEED to use sanzo for bottom!sanji content even there. i know y'all don't care cause you don't have to, you're fed all the time (because bottom!sanji is the default smh) or not a queer who cares for sexual dynamics, but it'll be lovely if those who do could blacklist content and be sure to find their minority preference in their minority preference tag. this used to be a fandom custom and it's just gone, of course people are not happy.

Shawn is supposed to be silly and inconsiderate but based on his past jobs I think it would be funnier and better if he tipped well and was nice to anyone working retail/customer service and then went right back to being a nuisance again

Methodology musings: AO3 Tag Search

(finding the biggest tags on AO3/in an AO3 fandom)

I recently got two asks about specific characters/ships/fandoms that I answered in part by discussing AO3 Tag Search. I've archived both asks/answers on AO3, and I've also summarized some Tag Search info/tips here (see below the cut).

First, the AO3 links:

How to find the biggest ships on AO3, or for a given AO3 fandom.

In which I start out trying to help someone debug a Transformers ship search weirdness, but I end up giving (hopefully) more generally helpful info/advice on finding the biggest ships. Contains notes on the limitations/quirks of Tag Search (as of Oct 2024).

Top AO3 characters and ships missing from my Jan 2024 analysis.

An eagle-eyed reader noticed that some character tags (including Wanda Maximoff) were tags missing from last January's analysis of biggest fandoms, characters, and ships. (Most of the missing tags were not missing from the graphs, but from further down in the longer lists I provided -- including Wanda.) Here I share data about the missing character (and ship!) tags, along with some methodology notes about how this happened.

Next, my AO3 Tag Search methodology summary/tips:

AO3 Tag Search lets you sort tags by number of uses which means you can quickly find the most common tags. It didn't always work that way; it used to just let you sort tags alphabetically and by date created, which was a lot less useful for fandom stats.

This is awesome because you can find the most common tags within a particular fandom OR across all of AO3. You can limit it to any of the following types of tags: Fandom, Character, Relationship, Freeform (a.k.a. "Additional tags") or look at all tags combined. This means that I can do a more complete job with my yearly "biggest fandoms, characters, and ships" roundups than I used to be able to do. (For more explanation, see the first link below.)

However, Tag Search has some quirks. For one thing, it seems that the totals shown in Tag Search includes AO3 bookmark tags when counting how often a tag was used. This means some of the most common tags are things like "To Read". Unpublished drafts also get counted in the total numbers for tags. All of this means that some tags may appear more popular in Tag Search than they do in the main AO3 search results (Work Search) or in the Sort & Filter sidebar.

I believe Tag Search also doesn't take tag wrangling into account. This means that some tags will appear much less popular in Tag Search than in the main AO3 search (e.g., a tag with lots of popular subtags doesn't have all those subtags included when listed in Tag Search -- Tag Search only counts exact uses). It also means that some characters/ships might be missing when you're finding the biggest ships/characters in a given fandom, if the characters/ships aren't all wrangled under all the relevant fandoms. See the Transformers example in the tutorial below for further explanation of how this happens and how to solve for it.

One consequence of all this is that the numbers shown in the Tag Search results are probably not what you expect. Not if what you want is the number of times authors have used the tag (i.e., excluding use in boomarks) -- and especially not if you want tag wrangling into account. You have to click on each tag listed in the Tag Search results and then go to the tag's Works page to see the number that you may expect to see.

Hope this helps others out there gathering AO3 data!

what tickles me as a personal hc abt shadow reacting to Sabrina's concert is just the idea that he was "born" in the 50's-ish so just seeing sabrina in lingerie and pretending to felate her mic while Amy and a thousand other ppl scream probably would have him clutching his pearls lol

drew my sister's oc darla doodle!!!

she exists in the who framed roger rabbit universe, created during the 50s by her adoptive human sister. they grew up together in podunk, new jersey, dreaming one day of being big stars. however, as they grew older, they had a big fight and darla finds herself on her own :(

in the 1970s, she moves to california to pursue her dream as a singer/comedian. but it's hard to find work in the big business when everyone sees you as a little baby rat dog. she has a job at a shady bar, but it's far from what she wants. she lives with some more of my sister's ocs, a gaggle of obscure toons (and humans) who live on the poor side of toontown (the literal other side of the tracks, if you will).

feisty, free-willed, and fabulous, darla is determined to make her dreams come true.
