Comment on OTW Board Approves Meta Hosting on the AO3

    Compulsory. Tagging. If you upload meta and it is not tagged as such (and thus can't be filtered out) then it can be reported and yanked down.

    Or better yet, separate category for meta. And fanart, And podfic.

      Hello onlyforreading!

      Being able to categorize your work in a way that users can find (or exclude it) from their searches is definitely going to be one component of hosting non-fiction (as well as other media formats) on the AO3. We are still in the early stages of discussing how we can best make that work in a way that serves both posters and searchers. But it will likely involve both actions by users and technical options. Unfortunately, a technical solution is likely to take much longer than the policy parts and tagging options.

      Thank you for your feedback!
