In a follow up to my last post, I just saw that ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
trobadora has posted the excellent news that the 'Sherlock Holmes & Related Fandoms' has been reinstated as a metatag and been decoupled from Sherlock (TV). Upon perusal, it looks like now it is the top tier tag and the majority of Holmesian fandoms (importantly, including Sherlock (TV)) are subtags of it. So now clicking on tag and excluding Sherlock (TV) will work to actually exclude the Sherlock fics and shows 17k works. It's not perfect because there seem to be a few Holmesian fandoms missing (for example, only the Sherlock Holmes (US TV 1954) fics that have been tagged with both that and the 'related fandoms' tag are showing up, for some reason that particular fandom doesn't seem to be included in the tag tree) but STILL. So happy they reversed this decision.
Here's the beginning of the official AO3 tumblr's post explains the walkback:
Anyway, moving on... It's almost yuletide! Nominations open Monday! The evidence post is already up. Time to think about what I'll be nominating! Thanks to some amazing luck, several of my recent repeating fandom requests were actually filled the last year or two so I need to come up with some new things. Decisions, decisions.
For no reason whatsoever I decided to crochet a little bunny
And here's this week's![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)

Hope everyone's having a good September! The hot weather here finally broke, which is nice but now there's all the outside work that I'd been putting off to do which is less nice. Tis the way of things, I guess.

"Tag wrangling is, on the whole, a fluid process. It’s meant to be, because the way language is used and the way tags are used change over time. We’re the first to admit that we don’t always get it right, and that we do sometimes make mistakes despite our best intentions. This is why wrangling decisions are not set in stone and are reevaluated periodically as circumstances change or as new information becomes available.I suspect support got inundated with complaints and I feel a little bad for them, but I'm just glad they listened to fandom on a whole about the subject and it looks like they'll be a little more cautious about changes like this from now on.
In light of the impact that removing the Sherlock Holmes & Related Fandoms metatag has had, we have put that metatag back in place."

And here's this week's
recthething recs (2 MDZS/Untamed fic recs): Lan Sizhui and the Whispers of the Lost by Vulpeculate (30k)
Summary: One morning, late in the winter of Lan Sizhui’s final year as a junior high student, he woke up alone. - Lan Sizhui faces a mystery close to home when a sudden disappearance puts his life into disarray. The secrets of the past and present will challenge him as he seeks to find what has taken his father. Who is the eccentric, inexperienced librarian who has taken up staff at Gusu Junior High School? What mysterious light glows from the inner walls of the Cloud Recesses? What lurks in the woods beyond town? Will Lan Sizhui and his friends find out the truth before it's too late? (fun YA styled modern-with-cultivation mystery AU)
Sunshot in Charcoal by Serpex (<1k)
Summary: Wei Wuxian remembers his past life. No one else does. He thinks that it will always be like that. But for a moment, hope festers in his heart as a vivid scene is born from Lan Sizhui's canvas. But, he's learned not to rely on foolish hopes even if he wants to. (poignant and slightly sad modern AU)
