I started my grad program yesterday, so please give me some time to answer emails and comments. I gave a quick lookthrough of fics and didn't find obvious placeholders. Yay! There were a few formatting/no space issues in a few fics I found, and plenty who were tagless (tags aren't mandatory, but highly recommended), but there's still time for that.

If you have a draft in the collection, please post it. Drafts can't be read by anyone but you and they do not count as fulfilling your assignment.

Treats over 1k can be placed in the Not Prime Time 2016 collection while treats under 1k and non-fic works can be placed in the Prime Time Madness 2016 collection.

If you are having some difficulty in coming up with tags for your story, here are some questions that might be helpful.

What kind of story is it? (Fluffy, Angst, Hurt/Comfort, Character Study, etc)
Is it an AU? (There are several different type of Alternate Universe canonical tags)
Did you write about a threesome? (Specific types of threesome are canonical tags as well as just the regular Threesome tag)
Did you write porn? (There are plenty of canonical tags for various sexual acts)
What kind of relationship do your characters have with each other? (Friendship, Rivals, Siblings, Developing Relationship, etc)
What do your characters do? (There are plenty of canonical tags for events/situations)

If none of these sound like they could fit your story, there is always the option of refreshing the Random Tags page to see what pops up.

Yo. Chill. No one is making you tag.

And maybe pick an icon that doesn't have 'bitch' plastered all over it. Your aggro overreaction is what's not cool here.

I'm not here to be lectured on the right way to do something that's totally subjective, and I'm commenting to offer an alternate opinion than that the only possible thing anyone could want to do is cover the fic in every tag available.

I've the backbone to put my name to my comments, and honestly? Didn't think twice about the icon; it's my default, I rarely bother to select.

EDIT: Might I also point out that I haven't insulted anyone, and I stand by my analysis of how the 'how to tag properly!' content functions, which is all that the above comment is. I'm not even saying that was the deliberate intention of the admin.

I actually never mentioned that whatsoever. If you want my honest non-mod opinion, I actually think over 10 tags is too much on a fic. 5-10 is the sweet spot, maybe, depending on the type of fic. Could be less, could be more. Who knows? But if someone wants to use 20+ tags on a NPT fic, they are perfectly within the right to do so. Tagging isn't mandatory and, on the flip side, the amount people tag isn't regulated by me either.

Anonymous commenting is allowed in the NPT comms. I purposely don't have IP tracking to make people feel comfortable if they want to do so. That has nothing to do with backbones.

I'm going to freeze this thread now.

Hi! By the way, I have no problems that you're commenting anonymously. That's why I have IP tracking off on the comms.

Thank you for trying to defend me, but it's okay. I don't mind people having differing opinions than me. I also don't care about the icon.
