PengillyHey! The tag search on AO3 is a guilty pleasure of mine, I go there almost every day.
But...did no one else notice these new filters? Likeβseriously! These weren't there yesterday! 
AO3/Squidgeworld/CFAA authors, Have you ever written a fic for a noncanon tag in hopes that it would become canon?

I wrote a fic specifically so a niche tag would become canon
No, but I went out of my way to add a niche tag in hopes it would become canon
I've done both of the above
I donβt consider canonicity when adding tags
Wait, what are canon and noncanon tags?!

I was holding back howling laughter at multiple tags in this video π Comedy gold.
ao3 tags that will concern you
How come "Robot/Human Relationships", "Transformer/Human Relationships" and even Mobian/Robot Relationships are canon AO3 tags, but Robot/Organic Relationships isn't? What if someone just wants to read about any type of that relationship, regardless of whether or not said organic life form is a human? And regardless of fandom!
The movie's been out for less than 3 weeks, and there are already 2 fics tagged 'no beta we die like Orion Pax' on AO3. I really love these types of tags, whether they're for characters technically dying in canon, then shortly being resurrected (literally within a minute in Orion's case π). Or better yet, characters who are notorious for actually dying, then getting repeatedly resurrected.
It must really freak out people who haven't engaged with the source material before though, to see that the main character apparently tragically dies in the end.
