Really, The Blacklist?

A clip show? Really? Disappointing in concept. Disappointing in execution.

I've spent much of the last week shaking the internet and hoping for the perfect fic to fall out.

(In case you missed it, the ability to "favorite" tags on AO3 is pretty great - and gives me a reason to go to the home page instead of my dash, so that's good for them, too.)

Since said fic hasn't magically appeared, I started clearing out some stuff marked to read later - mostly Teen Wolf, mostly longfic - which just served to remind me that I get frustrated when I'm out of sync with a fandom.

For instance: I got halfway through a story, and then suddenly realized I was only halfway through, "But where else does this story have to go?" I ask the author in my head. Where it has to go, I come to find, is into a totally different story. The two halves are connected in plot but not in tone, but now I really wish they'd published it as two fics in a series. Not least because this browser's memory doesn't handle long pages now. I know that chaptered fic can be such a cliche, but I'd really appreciate some demarcating features right now.

But I digress. My point is, if I wanted to talk about this fic, nuts and bolts, with someone, that ship sailed, like, last year. Womp womp.

Be the meme you wish to see in the world

A thought I had just now, regarding the AO3 favorite tag feature that I mentioned earlier. Now I'm curious which tags y'all have favorited! (Or which tags you *would* have favorited, except you only browse them with something
filtered out.)

Photos optional! Full disclosure optional! Commentary optional! Optional things optional!

( pics or it didn't happen, as the kids say )

I was trying to think if there's a freeform tag (alternate universe - coffeeshop, or what have you) which I love enough to scan through for the fandoms I recognize. I've definitely never bookmarked one, and actually I think I've only ever used a freeform tag sans fandom once - when I was trying to jog my memory recently for marriage of convenience recs.

I was also thinking about how I have thus far only favorited five tags. Could I fill it up? Not sure. Maybe, but I am also terrible at culling, so I'd rather add sparingly than have to kill a darling later.
