   Summary

   On the AO3, you're allowed to tag your works in any way you want.

   But if what you want is the tags that are most standard, most searchable, and/or most wrangler-friendly, here's a short guide on how to do it.

   Originally written in 2013. Rewritten in March 2025, to be accurate about current tags/guidelines. (If that was a long time ago for you, reader, it might be out-of-date again.)
