Fandom Tags
✓ Done
What fandom(s) is this for? Search existing tags first — if yours isn't there, you can add it. Crossovers can use multiple tags.
For anime/manga fandoms, please use the format English Name / Japanese Name — e.g. My Hero Academia / Boku no Hīrō Akademia. This keeps the tag list consistent and searchable for everyone.

Content Rating
✓ Done

Choose carefully: once your story is live, a Gore or Erotica rating can be added later but never removed.
Safe

Gore
Contains graphic violence or disturbing imagery
Erotica

Content Warnings (optional — readers can filter these individually)

Tags
✓ Done
Pick 3 Gold tags (Prestige), 5 Silver tags (community search), then up to 20 extra tags. First click = Gold, second click = Silver, third click = Extra, fourth click = remove.
Once your story is live, its tags can be changed once a week. Reading counts toward
genre badges under the tags a story had when it was read, so re-tagging never changes what readers already earned.
Gold Tags — Prestige & Avatar unlocks (pick exactly 3)
Gold 1
Gold 2
Gold 3
Silver Tags — community search & genre medals (pick up to 5)
