@protect-tinies I barely know when I’m going to sneeze. How the hell am I supposed to predict when she’s going to sneeze?

@BigCuddlyGiant He’ll never get her down in one piece.

Nice of him not to break any windows or walls.

@foreverlurk Patience. In time she will reveal how best she needs to be motivated.

So I finally got the invitation to create an account on AO3. I haven’t posted any stories yet because my OCD is compelling me to be exhaustive when tagging (I also don’t have any M/f stories that really belong there). I’ve spent several hours lost among the tags and FAQs, and for those of you who make use of AO3 I have a few questions.

1. Is heterosexuality even allowed?

2. I note that the gender/size tag we use don’t really work (or are not used) on AO3. “M/f” doesn’t always retain the capitalization and it returns hundreds of hits that have nothing to do with size. I have seen people use the individual tags “male giant” and “female tiny,” but that only indicates that there are characters present who fall into those categories; it doesn’t necessarily indicate that they interact with each other. There is a sub-category of tags called Relationships. Example: “Relationship: James T. Kirk/Spock.” Many such Relationships have been “canonized” and will be suggested when typing in the Relationship tag field. There are, however, countless “non-canonical” Relationship tags, including some that are quite creative or generic, such as “Relationship: Hannibal Lecter/Original Male Character” or “Relationship: Blond Himbo/Shy Librarian.”

It seems to me that we could use “Relationship: Male Giant/Female Tiny” as a distinctive tag that indicates the preferred configuration. There’s no reason not to augment this with additional tags such as “Shrunken Woman” or “Bratty Female Borrower” or “Protective Male Giant” or “Gluttonous Male Giant” or “Rapey Giant Bastard,” plus all the preferred body parts and activities.

Any other tips or suggestions for AO3 newbies? Questions for AO3 veterans?

@SmolChlo There was a shaved version as well, but I posted this one for reasons.

@foreverlurk Yeah, I looked it up. I’m still consulting with etymologists before I adopt a style position.
