Well, I've already linked to things which would be V tagged.

Heh, you probably shouldn't have said that.

Anyway, I still don't know how to tag "Special Delivery" (the one with Rainbow Dash getting literally shipped to Princess Celestia). Masturbation doesn't really count as sex. I don't wanna just put "sexual themes" for the S tag there because that's way too vague.

[Dsarker]

Here's the entire scene, uncensored and as the author intended.

Soon enough they had finished planting the cylinders. Applejack yelled out to Dash. She didn't reply. Applejack frowned, and told Markon to stay there and wait. She went towards the room where Dash and Rarity had gone. After she had gone through, she yelled out something. Sounds of brawling ensued. Twenty seconds later, she walked out, dragging by her tail Rarity, who she had knocked out. A few seconds later, out came Dash who looked like she hadn't been merely physically attacked. "What in tha hay happened, Dash?" she demanded. "Let alone how she did it. You're a fething Guardspony, Dash! How could you let her overpower you like that?" Dash merely mumbled under her breath, her pride visibly broken. "Gakkit, you idiot. Markon, we need to get these two back to the Equisitor. We'll blow this place once we get out."

Ah, I see, I remember reading about Rarity raping Dash in your story.
So, there is a point to having the [V] tag. Glad to know!
Although "glad" might be the wrong word here. "Horrified" fits way better.

[Dsarker]

What do you mean, Rarity raping Rainbow Dash? Don't know who this "Rainbow Dash" is. It's just "Dash".

[MC Dirty]

I didn't write anything about Rainbow Dash. Surely, you are delirious.

Anyway, is Dash supposed to be Rainbow Dash or is it another character? I mean, is it similar to how the "Mica" in your story is Twilight Sparkle or what?

[Dsarker]

Like Mica, they don't use words that don't mean anything to them. For rainbows, they'd need the Teq Priests of Cloudsdale working on something besides weapons and armour. For twilight, they'd need a time when it wasn't twilight.

We could add an [E] tag, for Explicit content (G being graphic violence, E would be graphic, er, romance). V should be removed - rape is just sex plus cruelty - or replaced with plain old Violence.

...yes, I just made it possible for a story to be tagged [GOATSE].

So, new proposed tags:

V - violence, some form of inter-character fighting.
D - death, or themes of death.
G - gorn, graphic depictions of heavy injury.
T - torture, helpless characters being methodically broken by physical or mental means.
C - excessive cruelty; usually a compound tag, by itself may represent social cruelty such as bullying.
R - romance, interrelations, and shipping.
A - adventure, a coherent plot arc with a definite beginning and an end.
O - includes original characters.
S - includes sex between characters, or sexual themes.
E - includes sexually explicit descriptions. If you're wondering, yes, it's possible without an S tag.

For amplification, a + is too disruptive. How about uppercase and lowercase? FiN would be [vCaTGod] with the new Violence tag.

Hmm, that's very interesting. I like it! Definitely better than the first try.

[Dsarker]

L for rape?

[Sean Mirrsen]

On reflection, add [N] - for "normal", slice-of-life stories, and [H], for humor/comedy. We should get a tag for Sadfics, but S is taken. Change Sex tag to X?

Rape would be XV or XC, although those two tags could appear without there actually being rape in the story.

[kaijyuu]

Ratings are worthless. Just use descriptive tags instead of pre-set tags.

[MC Dirty]

Yes, that's exactly the problem, Sean. Making the meanings of a tag dependent on, say, the next tag in the list would be too complicated, so I agree with Dsarker; there should be a rape tag.

I do love the [N] and [H] tags, though. Adding them in right now.

Ratings are worthless. Just use descriptive tags instead of pre-set tags.

That's possible on EqD, but not when you want to fit the tags in the file name.

[Sean Mirrsen]

Well, set the rape tag to [P] then. What would the amplification do for it, btw? Implied rape versus described rape?

So, final list of tags as I see 'em for now:

Code: [Select]

[v] - violence, some form of inter-character fighting.
[d] - death, or themes of death.
[g] - gorn, graphic depictions of heavy injury.
[t] - torture, helpless characters being methodically broken by physical or mental means.
[c] - excessive cruelty; usually a compound tag, by itself may represent social cruelty such as bullying.
[r] - romance, interrelations, and shipping.
[n] - normal, everyday, slice-of-life proceedings.
[h] - humor, comedy.
[a] - adventure, a coherent plot arc with a definite beginning and an end.
[s] - sad, heavily emotional and moving events.
[o] - includes original characters.
[x] - includes sex between characters, or sexual themes.
[e] - includes sexually explicit descriptions. If you're wondering, yes, it's possible without an X tag.
[p] - includes rape, implied or explicit.

[MC Dirty]

Sean Mirrsen is best pony!

Thanks for that, that really helps me a lot.
Now, I only need to tag all those stories.

Edit: One thing: [g] would be gore, while [G] would be Gorn. It's the difference between Twilight Sparkle shooting her leg off in CrazyCow's story and... whatever TBP writes.

Edit2: Maybe rape should be L? If only, so we could get a [longcat] story.

[TheBronzePickle]

That sounds like the kind of story I'd write if I was willing to write a rape scene. Except for that the n would inherently be incompatible with the a without some kind of blasphemous magic.
