Well, I ended it all on a rather nice note. Derpy don't die.

Still pretty messed up, though, so read at your own risk.

Gotta agree with New Guy on that.
Also, I'll just quote your signature here to show how I feel about that story.

Nothing important here, move along.

I will never, ever read that story. I will, however, add it to the pile.

Also, can anyone tell me how bad Dsarker's WH40k fanfics are? The latest one ("Friendship Was Heresy") is pretty clearly grimdark since it features Pinkie Pie going on a horrific murder spree, but I'm not sure about the first one.

I believe the appropriate label for TBP's stories is "torture porn". The saddest part is that, for all the horror inherent in it, I stopped feeling physically ill by the time he got to the tongue. If that doesn't tell you that this is overdone, I don't know what would.

Oh hey, there's a word for it!
Of course, TVTropes isn't really reliable information, but I don't give a shit about reliable information; it fits so well.

In fact, I should probably just make a .txt file with a list of tags. For now, it'll probably just be warning tags (like "Involves death/torture/gore").

I personally feel bad for myself that I can't be even more descriptive without being boring about it.

I'm reading that story now to, so Derpy lives?

Yes, but in a horribly mutilated way that probably makes her wish she was dead.

[Dsarker]

The reason that Warhammer has to be grimdark is because everything you do, even if it succeeds, in the end it means nothing. Either all life will get et by the 'nids, or it'll all be killed by the 'crons, or by Chaos, or Orks, etc

Anyway, my first one isn't as grimdark, but it is still grim dark.

Alrighty, I've made up four tags that I'm gonna stick somewhere in the file names.

(D) - Involves death
(G) - Involves graphic violence ("depiction of serious physical injuries involving blood, flesh, bone and brain matter")
(C) - Involves extreme cruelty (torture, slow and painful deaths)
(G+) - Involves extreme and sadistic violence; "torture porn"; most likely includes all of the above; most likely written by TBP

Any other ideas? Or are these too vague?

(B) for stories that'll give you the 'beetis.

Could anyone from these forums even create something nice enough?

Meh, I don't really want to put too many tags in the filenames. It just makes it look cluttered. This is more of a temporary solution, anyway. Although I have no idea what a final solution would look like. It's pretty much impossible to get a tag system working when all you have are files and folders.
Also, TBP has a point, we don't have a single "cute" story yet.

I think it's better to have multiple single-letter tags that can be strung together. D for death, G for graphic violence, C for cruelty, T for torture, S for shipping, A for adventure, etc., the end result being a tag like [CATS]. Not just the negative, but positive things too. Of course, this will inevitably lead to some monstrous happy-adventure-romance-graphic-cruel-torture fic, but if the tag system can handle it, that's all that matters.

[Dsarker]

You mean like Friends In Need?

Yeah, that was exactly what I wanted to do. But I really don't want to look through all the stories. I don't even want to read some of the stories. In fact, I would like to deny the existence of some of the stories.

Also, I need help with this. Some of the fics are massively huge. Send me a PM if you'd like to help. Oh, you should also have Dropbox!

[Sean Mirrsen]

There's no romance in it, so the tag for FiN would be [CATGOD], with O for Original Characters.

As far as Dropbox is concerned -
