Woe to the fucking wicked.

If you ever find something that you think SHOULD be a canonical, please let me know.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Oh, I totally will.

Hey, is, to give an example of things being sought out by people I know, say, metal arm fisting a canonical?

Woe to the fucking wicked.

It is not. HOWEVER, it appears to meet Ro3 (Rule of 3. Most tags won't be canonized until they are used on 3 different works by different authors), so I will add it to the list.

Can I petition you to do a wholesale dump of any tag with the variant of "My feeels, I show you them" or "I don't even"?

EXCELLENT.

Not, you know, that someone sold me on a series this week by saying, "and then you get to the third or fourth story, and it gets really explicit, we're talking metal arm fisting." or anything.

Why? They're harmless, and generally tongue in cheek, and the wranglers who've weighed in on it that I've seen have said they don't make their lives harder (which was an argument against anyone ever using them made for a while a while back).

Plus, if you don't like them, you can just ignore the things that use them, so they serve a function for you.

Of course you are.

The idea of metal arm fisting makes me wonder about potential attachments.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Connie, it is against the fundamental rules of the archive to change an author's tags, even if, for example, they have put all their tags in the characters field. So, no, sorry, can't.

Plei, as a side note, there only appear to be about 4 stories on the archive with metal arm fisting-type tags.

Calli, there's a tag about it vibrating.
