Comment on OTW Board Approves Meta Hosting on the AO3

   Hello arysteia!

   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, but chances are both will affect users' choices to post images to the AO3.

   Thank you for your feedback!

      What are you going to do about the large volume of non-fanfic posts that already exists?

         Hello JackofNone!

         That will depend on how the committees discussed in the post work out definitions of what counts as fannish meta.
