#but Only when otp:true applies to them so if they have side pairings or poorly tagged minor pairings they can stay

exciting news!

i have figured out how to filter out all those damn x reader fics that don't tag themselves as x reader fics on ao3!

i simply exclude all fics categorized as f/m except for what i put on a damn whitelist.

#in other news i have once again increased my power level when it comes to filtering on ao3 #(learned how to use the 'NOT' boolean or w/e (it's '!' you put '!' in front of w/e you wanna have as an exception)) #recently i've been going through just the regular gnshn tag as a fandom on ao3 #bc i feel like there's not much in the pairing tags i check regularly so i figure i might as well like. entertain myself #by seeing what gen stuff is out there. but the raw fandom tags require Extensive filtering to be hospitable zones #and this is also how i learned there are some pairings i don't mind seeing when there are other ships around #but i don't really care abt when they're the Only ship going on so i figured out how to filter them out #but Only when otp:true applies to them so if they have side pairings or poorly tagged minor pairings they can stay #花話 #like those kinds of filters aren't useful when i'm looking through ship tags but they are Very useful in main fandom tags #ALSO. FUN FACT I LEARNED TODAY. THERE ARE ONLY 6.3K GNSHN FICS THAT ARE BOTH COMPLETE *AND* OVER 10K WORDS. LIKE WHAT THE FUCK #WELL. COMPLETE AND OVER 10K AND IN ENGLISH AND NOT CROSSOVERS #that is depressing! anyway
