my problem with organization...

[onewhoturns]

If you've seen my AO3 tags, you know I can get weird about organization. Or if you know about my fc sideblog. Or my spreadsheet from the year of 365 movies.

Basically, I'm trying to decide how to organize tags on this blog, and how to deal with one shots vs. chaptered works -- if I should only tag the first chapter of longer works, if i should tag characters in the parts they appear in or just the overall work, if every chapter should get its own tags or if all subsequent chapters should just be tagged with project:x or whatever.

Right now I have the following for organization:
!fic
!i wrote this
char:____
ship:____
fandom:[media type]:[name]
theme:____
z:wip
z:completed
z:from the archives (for work that was originally posted a while ago or hasn't been continued for whatever reason)
unrelated (for non-works)

Should I make a [*start here] tag for first chapters? A [*one shot] tag for one shots? Or [1/1]? Interested in opinions if anyone has any to offer.

I would use in the title [1/2], [2/2]... And then make links for the other chapters just below the summary.

so only tag the first chapter or tag the others as well?

So I decided to add a *oneshot tag for oneshots, a *part 1 tag for beginnings of multi-part fics, and links for [start here] and [next part] for multi-part fics as well... Still wondering if it'll work or is too much/too little (more likely the former). I guess we'll see...
