All right, AO3, I love you and all (genuinely!), but I need an easy way to filter OUT certain tagged fics when I’m searching other tags. Especially pairings.
Because I love you guys, but when I’m trying to find Tony/Pepper fic, you can guess the problem I have pretty much EVERY TIME.
I would also really like a way to blacklist certain fics or authors I never want to see again.
I would also really like a way to sort bookmarks by fandom rather than just having them be one jumbled mess.
agreed SO MUCH.
I DO NOT WANT X/Y PAIRING WHEN I’M SEARCHING FOR FIC OF CHARACTER Z WHO IS IN A RELATIONSHIP WITH Y IN THE FIRST PLACE.
It’s actually pretty easy to do! Put the name of the pairing youdon’twant to see (I’m guessing in this cases Tony/Steve) in the Other Tags box with a minus in front of it. Like so:
(In this case I searched for Tony/Pepper in the Other Tags box first, and then after the fact went into the Relationship box and clicked the checkmark)
….. *RAPTOR SCREECH* YOU ARE MY NEW FAVORITE PERSON.
THAT WORKED LIKE A CHARM. AND NOW I CAN FIND THE FIC I AM ACTUALLY LOOKING FOR!!!!
MY FACE IS SERIOUSLY THE BIGGEST SMILE FOR YOU RIGHT NOW. 😀 😀 😀
I don’t even care that this is a total overreaction on my part, I’m just really excited at such an easy fix to my problem!
