I haven’t seen one of these posts in awhile and if you are new to fandom hopefully this will help. As you might know tagging is really important. Firstly it helps people find things when they come to your blog, secondly it helps people who aren’t following you find your amazing work. Captain Swan Fans find your works dedicated to our lovely ship by using these special tags. This might not be comprehensive so please feel free to add to this blog if you come across it. 

The Main Tag #Captain Swan (Some people use #cs )

Fan fiction: 

#cs ff  #cs fanfic – main cs fic tags – I’ve also seen #cs fanfiction

#cs au ff – or #cs au – when you write an alternative Universe – you can always find some lovely manips and AUs in this tag too. 

#cs smut – this is self explanatory but if you are looking for some racy fics.. this is your tag. 

#cs fluff  or #cs angst – special kinds of fic

#cs prompt – this is typically a short/mini ficlet based on a prompt from a follower to a writer.  Great tag to look at for some short and sweet fics. 

#cs fanvid – amazing fan videos

#cs manip – artists who take pics of jen/colin and create new AU types of images with a photo editing tool. These are incredible. 

#cs fanart #csfanart – these are tags used by some of the amazing artists in our fandom

#cs edit – blogs with gifs and art that are created from show clips

#cs graphic – gif sets & edits

#cs crew, #cs mafia – when you address the cs fandom outside of the main tag. Sometimes you will find fun Get to know you events under these tags. 

#csss – this is used for the cs secret santa gifts. Definitely explore this tag because its amazing. Def helps to get through the hiatus. 

#cssv – this is used for the cs secret valentine gifts. Also helps with the hiatus because these come out typically right before the spring premiere at valentines day. They are also generally lovely, smutty, and fluffy fics/pics. 

This is a sampling of the main tags. Always remember to tag your blogs so that they will get visibility by your fellow shipmates. The better you tag the more people will find the work and see it.
