AO3 is the best
A little while ago I sent the AO3 a suggestion, and wowwwww it paid off.
Really I mostly just use tumblr to follow tags, and that is how I found filter-me-ao3 which is awesome and led me to a few AO3 newsposts that explained how to filter things out. Link to the roundup here.
The ID numbers are amazing, but they don't cover everything so I wrote in and asked if they could eventually maybe post some of the ID numbers for some of the additional tags, too, so filtering those out would be easier.
I got a note back saying that they'd pass on the suggestion to the people who actually do the posts...
And then they attached a HUGE LIST OF ID NUMBERS. Or really TWO lists. One of just popular tags and then one of a bunch of popular AUs. SO MANY TAGS.
So I decided to share.
Here, tumblr. Have like 200 tag ID numbers to filter out on the AO3 if you want! (Or maybe a little under because I took some of the AU tags off of the first list because they were in the second too.)
And THANK YOU AO3 THIS IS THE BEST.
