Kinks and tags that trump them all

[Five_Inch_Heels]

As with most other boundary busters, maybe.

If you're talking about a 50 year old 300 pounder with a thing for diapers, bonnets and pacifiers, it will probably fly.

If you're talking abut a very petite 19 year old regressing in looks and behaviors, not likely.

I've seen a bunch of them in Mature for some reason. Yeah, OK, Mom and Dad are generally older, but....

I've seen some step dad/mom stuff in there because its not 'real' incest but for the most part I don't see many pure pairings.

Can this be a thing here considering underage rules stretch to role playing

Good question. I could have sworn I've stumbled upon some Lit stories where adults act like children, although it could have happened on AO3 as well. I'm not sure.

I could point to one, but one isn't many. I've seen quite a few though, but that still isn't many.

I have to say I was unaware of the tagging system as a reader on the site for almost 25 years before starting to write. I would choose based on category then title, description and rating. Once I found a story I really liked I would read other things by the author.

I think tags make a big difference for some people in some categories. I read mostly in E&V (hence the anagram of Cathi Wus as my username), where I am not sure they make that much difference, unless you are adding in something like incest, which I do feel is a trump tag as well as category.

I never use them when looking for stories. Only scan titles.

Some categories have stories with vastly different content, vastly different types of stories. And there are so many new stories every day, so I use tags to decide whether to even start reading some story.
No tags => it's very unlikely I'll try to read the story, unless I already like the author.

I been using the tags more of a trigger warning now. Since receiving feedback on my ongoing Femdom series expressing deep disappointment over things like non hetero sex and mild forms of cuckoldry, I just wanna let people know up front.

But I get the sense that many readers don't even look at the tags. So I might just put a disclaimer at the very beginning of part one so they can easily avoid a story they're not going to enjoy.

The site has a beta feature that lets you see the story tags when you look at stories in a writer's catalog. So far it only works with standalone stories.

You can activate the option from your Control Panel with Options -> My Options and set "Participate in early site feature versions beta-testing" to "Yes."

That makes the tags more accessible. So far my only complaint is that each tag is a fairly large button. The tag list takes up a lot of room, but you get used to it.

And thanks to @iwatchus for pointing that out.

I’ve been using this feature as well, and I think I like it. The tags do take up more room, which is the trade off. But maybe if they were a smidge smaller in font size…

Edit: well, more like, if the white space margin within was tag were decreased a tad, it could save more space. But what do I know about web standards.
