Supernatural 2: Why is it our job to save everybody?
[NAFDA]. This is where we talk about the CW series Supernatural! Anything that's aired in the US on TV (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though — if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.
AO3 question. Is there a way to filter search results? I love a good AU but when I'm in the mood for non-AU I find them damn near impossible to unearth from the AU haystack there.
You need to set up your search string so it excludes certain terms, and that should help.
I do wish I could get the new filters on the Pit over on AO3, but I'm not holding my breath. Honestly, I'd rather have the option of default blocking certain authors so I don't have to see their stupid annoying virtual faces which I strongly desire to punch.
Okay, the translation of "set up your search string" seems to be "use boolean in the Search Within Results field". Is that what you're saying? And how granular is the boolean? Will "NOT AU" catch AU--Barista & Bartender? And not catch Auks (I don't know--it's the first one that comes to mind)?
I went Search > Works, and put in -AU -Alternate+Universe with Fandom set to Supernatural, pairing set to Castiel/Dean Winchester, sort set to by update date did get an AU in there, but it wasn't tagged or specified as such, and there's no way to filter out stupid. Yet.
Not sure how granular it is, though. Time to check.
You can put -writerIhate, right? You could get false positives (negatives? I'm confused now), but it might be worth it.
OK, a search of Knotting -OM continues to bring up Omegaverse, Alpha/Beta/Omega Dynamics, and the rest of the crap associated.
I used Teen Wolf to check. For obvious reasons.
Yes, you can put in -writerIhate. I tested it on -writerIamindifferentaboutwhojustupdated.
And I've bookmarked my search results. BEGONE, PAIRINGS AND AUTHORS I HATE!
I should be able to mail this to myself and bookmark it on my phone, too. I dislike the lack of the filter box in the results, but hey, small price to pay for being able to block an author I can't stand on my small screens.

Oh, you can use D/C to test that just fine.
EVEN THOUGH MY FAVOURITE DELETED.
I'm reading fucking tentacle porn and skimming MPREG instead of running from the tag.
I don't even know anymore.
I figured Teen Wolf would give me a clear yeah or nay faster than any of the other afflicted fandoms.
WHY IS THERE OMEGAVERSE FIC IN THE PACIFIC RIM FANDOM? (Yeah, yeah, I know this is off-topic for this thread. But Plei's mention of it reminded me.)
(Tentacle porn in Pacific Rim? Sure, that makes sense. Not Omegaverse.)
