So, as I start poking back around my meta community to push it out in rough form (ha) I started putting together the list of tags I want. And I come to an impasse.

Should the tags be formally cateogised like "character: jack harkness" or just plain old "jack harkness?" I ask because it starts getting confusing when I have things like audiobooks and novels with the same names. Formal means I can write "audiobook: another life" and "novel: another life" instead of the (IMO) messier "another life (audio)."

It also gives me the option of having tags like "season: none" for generic non-season-specific meta. I like that tag.

But you know, I want people to use them. So, any ideas?

Or any tag suggestions, because except for digging up lists of ALL the episodes/books/characters/novels ever, I also want tags like "the hub" and "myfanwy" but I obviously can't recall every single thing ever that could be useful.

And you wonder why I don't just open these things. I'm agonizing about the tags, that's why.

Aw, cracker sticks. I'm going to have to go on tumblr, aren't I?*

I will post a few times all of my problems about tumblr. And then I'll make an account. I know it.

Unlike LJ, though, I have Real Life frieds on tumblr. RL friends who don't get my fandom handle. THIS WAS THE POINT OF FACEBOOK. RL friends to the facebooks, fandom friends to the livejournals. (And a handful in the middle making a mess of everything, but the handful are generally good.)

Blergh.

(*If I haven't mentioned it yet, talking to people is MY FAVORITE PART OF FANDOM. Sometimes I'm pretty terrible at it because of reasons, but you know what? Still my favorite part. Still the best reason to be here. And this from someone who lurked through fandom for a good six years.)
