    I can't really continue with too long responses, because they start to seriously meander, just know that you made me smile all the more with your kind words.

    I value well tagged fics above anything. Before I ended up on AO3 (sometime in early 2021 I think, but for the longest time I didn't make an account, lying to myself that bookmarking 300+ works, series or lists of works with specific tag in internet browser is a good solution) I read on fanfiction.net and searching for something was a mess. At the time I had close to none self restraint of the "I don't like it, I won't read it anymore, close forever" type do things got often chucked into bookmarks to disappear into the void. For the life of me can't remember what I was mostly reading about back then, but before that I was mostly reading reincarnation or simply adventure romance Chinese or Korean novels finding translations via novelupdates and that was a slightly lesser mess, but still awful experience. In the meantime I learned how data bases are actually constructed and how to use SQL so the technical understanding of the issue gives me more patience, but still AO3 makes me much happier. Simply because I can almost not acknowledge existence of pairings or tags that are plainly too "icky" for my brain to end up reading about it anymore. Like... Palpatine/(anyone I like) is a thing of nightmares and there was some body horror involved so... Yeah eyes and brain to bleach.

      All good, know the struggle and am very verbose, starting way to many topics etc, it gets a lot

      Glad I could make you smile, now I did something useful this day ^^

      Got tagging really is everything, sadly I often am to curious for my own good, I often end up reading stuff, cause a tag was so absurd or repulsive, I needed to know.... There could not be enough brain bleach in the world for what I have read at this point, but ao3 allowed me too controll when I come across the bad, very valuable.

        Well, I can't say that there aren't moments where curiosity wins over, just... Some things can be questionable but still be read because damn if I give up, however there are things are just no-nos. It's just difficult to point out some of them. Like, there are some very questionable tags when mixed up, but on their own could work out well enough...
        I might have wanted to point some out but realised we are basically chatting under fic with General Audience classification so... Yeah. 🤦‍♀️ Discretion on the details seems prudent.
