Writing and Wrangling

One of the fannish things I do is being a tag wrangler on AO3, which varies from fun to stressful, but is always very interesting. I wrangle a bunch of small fandoms but have wound up also wrangling a bunch of (mostly historical) RPF, and, indeed, interesting is the word.

Some people complain if their comments are all replies from authors. That is fine by me! It's much better than waking up to find your comments are you because you wrangled something wrong, have been sent half a dozen people from Hamilton, or Donald Trump's in another unlikely relationship again. (Luckily, I can usually leave that to 21st C Political to deal with. I think maybe the most improbable so far has been Donald Trump/Sonic the Hedgehog, but I couldn't swear to it.)


In short, this morning, in my AO3 inbox:

* kind comment on my fic! Yay! Amazing! ♥

* Random Shakespeare freeform (there's always a random Shakespeare freeform)

* Hi, have Pol Pot and Ho Chi Minh!


Sometimes it is just too early in the morning for that kind of thing.
