A little PSA for people who use AO3…

Gen refers to fic that is not focused on romance. If your fic is not a romance fic, please give it this tag.

Other refers to fic that is focused on romance, but is not specifically male/female, male/male, or female/female (like an OT3 (ship involving 3 people), a ship involving characters that are not male or female, etc). IT IS NOT FOR PLATONIC RELATIONSHIPS. IT IS FOR ROMANTIC ONES. please for the love of all that is holy do not tag your family-relationship-centered fics as “other” you are going to give people a HEART ATTACK.

“Character/Character” is for romantic pairs. “Character & Character” is for platonic relationships like friendship, family, etc. Please do not tag family-centered or adult-and-minor-centered platonic character relationships as character/character for the love of all that is holy

The E rating is for smut and literally nothing else (unless you have other unusual reasons to rate it E–I’ve seen people apply it to non-smut fics as a deterrent to keep minors away from it, but keep in mind it’ll make it so people who are trying to avoid smut will not find your fic). Your fic that has a lot of graphic violence but no sexual content does not need an E rating.

The M rating is for fics that would basically be rated R if they were movies, and may contain graphic violence, some sexual content, and generally more serious subject matter than you would typically show a teenager. However, if your fic is almost entirely smut, please just give it an E rating.

Also, when you post a fic, you WILL want to give it a rating, or else AO3 will assume you’re probably posting smut and will warn everybody who clicks on your fic that it may contain adult content. If you don’t want that on your fic that contains no adult content at all, please just give it the proper rating instead of not rating it at all.

richie: hey haystack, did you know that 'thot' means 'thoughtful person'?

ben: really? I didn't know this slang.

ben: thanks so much for helping me out with this, mike. you're such a thot.

mike, wheezing: I'm a WHAT?

Once the children were asleep, Sajjad headed out on an urgent shopping mission. “We are Muslims and we’d never had a Christmas tree in our home. But these children were Christian and we wanted them to feel connected to their culture.”

The couple worked until the early hours putting the tree up and wrapping presents. The first thing the children saw the next morning was the tree.

“I had never seen that kind of extra happiness and excitement on a child’s face.“ The children were meant to stay for two weeks – seven years later two of the three siblings are still living with them.

[Everyone is standing around the broken coffee maker]

Stan: So. Who broke it? I’m not mad, I just wanna know.

Bill: …I did. I broke it.

Stan: No. No you didn’t. Richie?

Richie: Don’t look at me. Look at Ben.

Ben: What?! I didn’t break it.

Richie: Huh, that’s weird. How’d you even know it was broken?

Ben: Because it’s sitting right in front of us and it’s broken.

Richie: Suspicious.

Ben: No it’s not!

Mike: If it matters, probably not, but Eddie was the last one to use it.

Eddie: Liar! I don’t even drink that crap!

Mike: Oh really? Then what were you doing by the coffee cart earlier?

Eddie: I use the wooden stirrers to push back my cuticles. Everyone knows that Mike!

Bill: Okay let’s not fight. I broke it. Let me pay for it Stan.

Stan: No! Who broke it!?

Ben: Stan…Beverly’s been awfully quiet.

Beverly: REALLY?![Everyone starts arguing]

Stan: [being interviewed] I broke it. I burned my hand so I punched it. I predict 10 minutes from now they’ll be at each other’s throats with warpaint on their faces and a pig head on a stick. Good. It was getting a little chummy around here.
