mmarycontrary answered: Not me, thanks, but I just wanted to say the “women being awesome” tag has taken me to a lot of good fic. Thanks, wranglers.

(Oh hey, I think I figured out how to answer comments? #not sure i did this right #still a n00b)

I’ll pass your comment along - it’s so nice to get positive feedback!

And hey, for any Merlin fans out there, we have Awesome Gwen and Awesome Morgana tags now, thanks to you! And other fandoms have added Buttercup Being Awesome, Awesome Leela, Awesome Laura, and Awesome Jenna Stannis since I last checked the tag. \o/

carmarthen-the-fan asked: Oh my gosh, I desperately want Alternate Universe - Historical Coffee Shop to be a thing. How do we make it a thing?

If you’re talking about tags, it’s pretty easy! 3 people make works for it and post on AO3 using that tag, then someone pings me or the AO3_wranglers account on Twitter or archive Support. Then it becomes a canonical tag and easier to pimp, ‘cause everyone sees it when they type in “Alternate Universe - Coffee Shop” and they’re like, “But what is this? Is it some new flavor of awesome?”

- How to get a new canonical freeform (the short version that leaves off stuff about formatting guidelines and syns and stuff)

If you’re talking about how to get people excited about the idea, I have no clue why anyone wouldn’t be. I mean, historical coffee shop au. What part of this is not awesome?

What say you, amis? Will you rise to the occasion?

ETA: Les Mis wranglers have since informed me that Historical Coffee Shop is not an AU in their universe, and therefore they cannot help. Oh well!

selenay936 asked: Freeforms for Darcy? I know she tends to be in all the ships but I'm curious about the freeforms :-D

I’m so glad you asked! Darcy, in all her glory:

Assistant Darcy Lewis
Awesome Darcy Lewis
BAMF Darcy Lewis
Darcy Lewis’s iPod
Darcy Lewis’s Taser
Hel Darcy Lewis
POV: Darcy Lewis
SHIELD Agent Darcy Lewis
SHIP DARCY WITH ALL THE THINGS
Darcy Lewis is Tony Stark’s Daughter

Darcy Lewis Week
Darcy Lewis Crossover Week
Darcy Lewis Prompt Week
Darcy Lewis Smut Week
Going On Facebook: A Darcy Lewis Fic Exchange
Halloween Tasertricks Exchange
Pre-Thor/AU Darcy Lewis Week Challenge
Tasertricks Winter Exchange
Tumblr: fuckyeahdarcylewis

A large portion of this list can be laid at the feet of that last little tag. Yes, fydl, we love you!

(Statistically speaking, Darcy is the MCU lady with the most canonized freeforms, despite having no comics backstory to work from. Fandom is very creative sometimes.)

gardenofsastra asked: Ooh, tell me all about canonical tags for Agent Phil Coulson! Freeforms or relationships; your choice.

Ahaha, you asked for it! I’m going with freeforms, because I think they’re funnier.

What’s interesting to me about Coulson is how much fanon is built up around him, compared to the slim canon we have. It’s one of his charms.

To see the works for a tag, use this format: archiveofourown.org/tags/TAG NAME/works (Make sure you leave the spaces in the tag. Replace “/” with “*s*”, “.” with “*d*”, and “&” with “*a*”.)

ladymercury10 asked: Do Young Avengers count? If so, how about Kate Bishop? (If not, let's go with Pepper.)

Kate always counts. Let’s do relationships, because she doesn’t have a lot of freeforms yet (and because I don’t wrangle YA or Hawkguy):

1. Kate Bishop/Jessica Drew (1)
2. Kate Bishop & Phil Coulson (0)
3. Ava Ayala/Kate Bishop (1)
4. Kate Bishop/Bobbi Morse (1)
5. Kate Bishop & Natasha Romanov (2)
6. Clint Barton/Kate Bishop/Original Male Character(s) (0)
7. Kate Bishop/Original Male Character(s) (0)
8. Clint Barton/Kate Bishop/Bobbi Morse (3)
9. Kate Bishop/Scott Lang (1)
10. Kate Bishop/Eli Bradley (47)
11. Kate Bishop/Cassie Lang (15)
12. Rikki Barnes/Kate Bishop (1)
13. Clint Barton/Kate Bishop/Noh-Varr (2)
14. Clint Barton & Kate Bishop (15)
15. Kate Bishop/Mia Dearden (2)
16. Kate Bishop/Karla Sofen (0)
17. Kate Bishop/Kara Zor-El (1)
18. Kate Bishop/Noh-Varr (4)
19. Kate Bishop/Tommy Shepherd (35)
20. Clint Barton/Kate Bishop (86)
21. Kate Bishop/Natasha Romanov (1)
22. Kate Bishop/Darcy Lewis (0)
23. James “Bucky” Barnes/Kate Bishop (1)
24. Kate Bishop/Stephanie Brown (3)
25. James “Bucky” Barnes/Clint Barton/Kate Bishop (3)

I left the numbers in again and also bolded a few of the lines to show something interesting. Though 3 our of 4 of Kate’s most popular relationships are with guys (Clint, Eli, and Tommy), she appears to be a popular option for rarepair femslash. Now, these numbers aren’t perfect, because they only count uses of the canonical, not syns. But they do paint a broad picture that might be worth looking into.

To see the works for a tag, use this format: archiveofourown.org/tags/TAG NAME/works (Make sure you leave the spaces in the tag. Replace “/” with “*s*”, “.” with “*d*”, and “&” with “*a*”.)

shinykari asked: First of all, how much do I *LOVE* that Darcy has all the tags? *flails* OKay, okay: James "Rhodey" Rhodes, who does NOT get enough lovin' in fandom. I'm just sayin'.

1. Maria Hill & James “Rhodey” Rhodes
2. Rae LaCoste/James “Rhodey” Rhodes
3. Rumiko Fujikawa/James “Rhodey” Rhodes/Tony Stark
4. Pepper Potts/James “Rhodey” Rhodes/Tony Stark
5. Darcy Lewis/James “Rhodey” Rhodes
6. Pepper Potts/James “Rhodey” Rhodes/Steve Rogers/Tony Stark
7. Jarvis (Iron Man movies) & James “Rhodey” Rhodes
8. James “Rhodey” Rhodes/Steve Rogers/Tony Stark
9. Bruce Banner/Pepper Potts/James “Rhodey” Rhodes/Tony Stark
10. Nick Fury/James “Rhodey” Rhodes
11. Pepper Potts/James “Rhodey” Rhodes
12. Maria Hill/James “Rhodey” Rhodes
13. Pepper Potts & James “Rhodey” Rhodes
14. James “Rhodey” Rhodes/Tony Stark
15. James “Rhodey” Rhodes/Natasha Romanov
16. Clint Barton & James “Rhodey” Rhodes
17. James “Rhodey” Rhodes/Original Female Character(s)
18. James “Rhodey” Rhodes & Tony Stark
19. James “Bucky” Barnes/James “Rhodey” Rhodes
20. James “Rhodey” Rhodes/Steve Rogers
21. Clint Barton/James “Rhodey” Rhodes
22. Bruce Banner/James “Rhodey” Rhodes
23. Bruce Banner/Pepper Potts/James “Rhodey” Rhodes
24. Pepper Potts/James “Rhodey” Rhodes/Steve Rogers
25. Carol Danvers/James “Rhodey” Rhodes
26. James “Rhodey” Rhodes & Original Female Character(s)
27. Bruce Banner/James “Rhodey” Rhodes/Tony Stark

I left the numbers in because it’s easier, and because wow does this need to change! (Though Maria & Rhodey, I didn’t know that was a thing. Need to check that out….)

To see the works for a tag, use this format: archiveofourown.org/tags/TAG NAME/works (Make sure you leave the spaces in the tag. Replace “/” with “*s*”, “.” with “*d*”, and “&” with “*a*”.)

clio-jlh asked: I'd love some canonical freeforms for either Natasha or Pepper, your choice.

How about both? (The lists are sadly short.)

Awesome Natasha Romanov
BAMF Natasha Romanov
Kid Natasha Romanov
Male Natasha Romanov
Natasha Romanov Feels
Parent Natasha Romanov
POV: Natasha Romanov
Protective Natasha Romanov
Community: be_compromised
Be_compromised Secret Santa 2012
The Good Ship C/N Promptathon of Magic and Joy

and

Awesome Pepper Potts
BAMF Pepper Potts
Male Pepper Potts
POV: Pepper Potts
Protective Pepper Potts
Pepperony Week

We’re within 1 use of canonizing a few more tags, though I’d have to dig out my list to see what those are. Alpha Natasha Romanov, certainly, and probably something with Pepper’s shoes.

samjohnssonvt asked: Re Invites, when people ask: Gmail (and now Yahoo, it seems) is apparently nomming invite and activation emails at the server level (after they're accepted from us but before they hit your spam folder). If you think this happened, send Support a ticket with the eddress you used to sign up.

So wow, fun times! Something to be on the lookout for, folks.

Thanks Sam!

mrsmichaellorca asked: Hey just read your FSF post. I do write a 3some ship I worry that its not reaching its intended audience of AO3 where or how do you look for poly there?

(Ah Tumblr, I still don’t know how to get you to work…)

I’m publishing this because a lot of folks are probably curious. First, there are no real category tags for poly, because we share “Multi” with everyone who has a work with multiple categories, like M/F and M/M in the same work. (I personally use “Other”, but that’s a shared category, too.)

To really make sure people can find your work, there are three freeform tags I recommend: Polyamory, Threesome, and Moresomes. The nice thing is, if you pick a subtag of one of these, you’re also covering the general tag, because of the way metatags work. So if I use “OT4”, that tag is a subtag of “Moresomes”, so it will show up when someone filters for “Moresomes”.

When things calm down a bit from the beginning of the year chaos, I’ll be bringing this topic up directly with the wrangling team again, though I don’t know if the archive would consider adding another category for us. It’s worth a try, though.
