I understand that fanfic is free and we should treat fanfic authors with respect for making it. But my god do I hate the ones who crosstag. I get it, you want more viewers, but I don’t go into the Rengoku x reader tag to find improperly tagged fic of Enmu banging the shit out of the reader. Or the Tomioka x reader tag to find yandere Uzui and yandere Shinazugawa headcanons. These times I’ve stuff like this in the tags I was looking through wasn’t Tumblr breaking and putting things in tags simply for mentioning the word either. No, I checked these posts and the posters legit tagged them with those tags.

When you see fic posts that are deliberately mistagged with ships and characters that aren’t involved in the fic, you can and should flag them for spam.

Fanfic authors who deliberately mistag are misguided at best.

They think that tagging more characters will get their fix ‘exposure’ but it is not the kind of exposure that actually translates into views.

Nobody who is looking for pairing A is going to be happy to see pairing B in the pairing A tag and think ‘oh, I should read that.’
