This. Is. Freaking. BRILLIANT. OMG I think I hurt myself laughing.

Thank you! My favorite AO3 tag is 'Sorry Not Sorry' (so passive aggressive!) and 'no mpreg' (an enticement or a deterrent to reading? very ambiguous) Also, I went into the RPF section to look around and was not surprised at all the boy band stuff but was surprised at all the US women's soccer femslash. Who knew? Also indulged in a bit of politely filthy Hiddlesbatch before closing out and returning to my normal neighborhood.

Crikey - this is just perfect. The author's pseud! The RPF tag! Just... all the tags ^__^ (I am forever going to think of 3GAB as Douglas whump now.) And that final "No mpreg" ^_^

Thank you! No mpreg is my second favorite tag because it's so ambiguous (is it an enticement or a deterrent to reading that men do not become pregnant in this fic?!) and such a part of the fanfic subculture. 'Sorry Not Sorry' is my favourite tag. It should be my epitaph.
