Wrangle Tangle

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!
