Hey guys, an AO3 tag wrangler here with a small suggestion for making the lives of wranglers and the Abuse volunteers and all your fellow users a little easier. You know that impulse to post a “PROMPT ME, I WILL TAKE ANY OF THESE 50 SHIPS IN 30 FANDOMS” work?
Please don’t. These make everyone cry.
Look at all those fandoms and ship tags… that this work doesn’t apply to! Look at the fact that this isn’t even a work yet! Look at all those tags you’re asking wranglers to wrangle, usually not the existing canonicals, that appear in the bins of 30 different wrangling teams, flooding the smaller teams and annoying the big ones! Look at the Abuse volunteers getting 3 reports for your work in the first day and having to talk to you and reply to each of those people!
Aw yeah, AO3 has prompt memes and allows personal collections! Imagine your personal prompt collection:
Control when it’s open and closed!
Post a link in the notes of all your works!
Post a link on your blog and your AO3 profile!
Post the things you’ll accept in the Rules/FAQ section of the collection!
Use claims or gifts to notify the prompter when you’ve posted a work for their prompt!
Easily delete prompts that don’t follow your rules!
Post each work separately and gift each one to the prompter to build relationships and encourage interest from new fans who just noticed your work!
So much control, so much useful organization, so many fewer frustrated users finding a work with two chapters, neither of which applies to most of the relationships or fandoms tags. Why burn your bridges with some users when you’re trying for positive attention for your works?
Just imagine it: “[YourName]′s Personal Prompt Meme*”. Your name on a collection on AO3. All for you.

STAR WARS CHARACTER ENCYCLOPEDIA: Women of the GFFA + Fun Facts
Queen Apailana was one of the youngest elected monarchs of Naboo, at 12 years old
Padme supported Apailana’s bid for election, who in turn is one of the chief mourners at Padme’s funeral–while the cover story is that a renegade Jedi killed her, Apailana privately believes otherwise
Shmi was wold into slavery as a young girl after pirates captured her parents
Mon Mothma was born into a political family and became the youngest Senator to enter the Senate
After the fall of the Empire, Mon Mothma becomes the New Republic’s first Chancellor
Beru’s family have been moisture farmers for three decades
Sabe’s outfit was made of blast-dampening material to help her protect her Queen
She is also the first in line to become the Queen’s decoy, who communicates with her via silent gestures and expressions
Sly Moore was one of the few people who knew that Palpatine was also Darth Sidious
Maz Kanata knitted her own clothes! She is also Force-sensitive, but was never a Jedi.
Phasma’s armor is made from salvaged Naboo chromium (from the Phasma novel we know it was Palpatine’s Naboo yacht she salvaged it from)
Note: While this book was put out after Disney bought Star Wars, I would be careful of taking these as Hard Fact until they’ve appeared in an actual story somewhere. But they are SUPER FUN details to help expand the world in the meantime!
You will meet many types of people in your life. You will meet delicate flowers, raging oceans, quiet forests, towering mountains, and colourful skies. You will meet thunderstorms, you will meet lightning. They will knock you down, they will leave you breathless. You will meet sunrises, you will meet gardens. They will give you light, they will take you on adventures. Explore them. Get lost with them. They all have something to teach you.
Reblog if you want to people to come into your inbox and tell you what type of person you are to them – gardens? a sea storm? a sunrise that is brilliant and bold, or a sunrise that that is soft and pale with mist and promise? anything or everything…

P.S.

that feel when you scroll down thinking something is a fan cast and then find out jt’s a real cast.
I had the same reaction. I hit the text and was like “wait, for reals??” 😀
