( No Title )
I think a way to flag a character tag as a “main character”, “supporting character” or “background character” and be able to search by that would massively improve AO3.
Like, to be able to search for only fics that flag Blorbo Bleebus as a focus main character, and disregard fics that flag Blorbo Bleebus as a supporting character or background character.
Maybe the same for ships.
Yes please. As a person with repeated vested interest in the best friend side characters who 99% of the time only appear to say all of two words to the popular ship: Yes PLEASE.
Also amazing for rareships because “OMG THERE’S SOMETHING NEW— nvm they’re just tagged and barely appear for two sentences…”
As a writer I’d feel much better with dedicated tagging for guest characters and guest ships as support/minor too, because I want to tag their presence, but also hate disappointing the fans of those characters when they just show up for a chapter…
It would make the whole experience so much better knowing that you’re read something that actually focuses on what you want; giving you a full meal and not just a side dish.
