HEY FANFIC WRITERS!!!

Really curious about something!

If someone is writing a fic that PROMINENTLY FEATURES a pairing of some kind, but IS NOT STRICTLY ROMANTIC, where whether it is platonic or romantic can be left up to interpretation, and the fic was written WITH THE INTENT of featuring that pairing (not intentionally being misleading with the tags), IS IT OKAY to use the / tag instead of the & tag? Like, if I write a fic with a certain ship, and it's just about how those two characters meet, with a heavy emphasis on their dynamic and character, but doesn't end with them explictly a couple, is it okay to tag with the / tag if the writer genuinely thinks it will appeal to that demographic of reader and isn't being misleading?

I'm thinking of this especially in terms of rarepairs, where someone just wants to see that dynamic more, even if it isn't romantic. Sometimes just filtering by those two characters will just yield works that happen to include both of them.

Basically, what matters more: Accuracy of the tag, or the target demographic?

This does NOT INCLUDE just including a tag for the sake of boosting visibility. (Tagging as a ship when the ship isn't truly present in the fic just for the sake of getting it seen)

The writer is not intending to deceive a reader into reading their fic; they genuinely believe someone searching for that pairing will be satisfied by their work.

reblog for more votes please!!! im really curious!

Wash bets Church not to threaten suicide every three sentences in return for not whining every three sentences and they both spend the day talking to other people like

When I read a fanfic I like, the author becomes a mini celebrity to me. So when an author with a work I like kudos’ or comments on my own fanfic I just-

The universe had to nerf him because he was too powerful. Enjoy the brain damage and trauma wash!

crying screaming puking at. imagine watching washington fighting. seeing the intuitive calculations he's making. the ease and fluidity at which he moves. how adaptive he is to his surroundings. and knowing, without a doubt, with no question, that Epsilon would have allowed him to be a terrifyingly beautiful opponent. That Epsilon would have slotted into every single one of Wash's impulses and made him better. If it had worked out. If it hadn't gone bad, they would have been something more than perfect, they would have been new. Terrifyingly, awe-inspiringly new in that sublime way. you'd have looked at them and gone 'perhaps this is what transhumanism was aspiring for.' But, well, it didn't and it never will. better luck next time wash!

Washnut is just two gay guys are absolutely not each other's types and also there's some messy drama but the messy drama makes them go well. Should we. Do I. Is it-- and then donut sucks wash's dick and it's like fine. It's not bad and donut is good at it but it's not great. So for science (gay science) wash sucks donut's dick juuuuust in case and again it's good. Wash is good at this. But there's just no magic so they decide to be catty gay friends instead who happen to know what each other's head game is like

#i will always be a proponent of aroace wash #but this is very funny #which is enough for me #nsfw

@sabotourist got me to watch Madoka last weekend and then she made a magical boy Donut design. So I tried to imitate the show style a bit and recreate it.
