Being “proship” is NOT about what type of fictional content you like. It means you don’t use people’s taste in fiction to judge their character. It means you understand the difference between fictional things and reality.

There is not such thing as “proship content”. There are only people who are in favour of letting everyone ship what they want, make up whatever fictional thing they want, without harassing them or claiming they are committing crimes. Any content can be “proship content”.

Being “proship” means you understand that you have the responsibility of curating your own online experience. It means you don’t go looking for stuff you don’t like. It also means that you let others know what sort of content you publish, so that they can do the same.

When tagging their fics, I wish everyone understood that tags serve TWO purposes: 1) They help readers to avoid stuff that squicks/triggers them or just isn't their cup of tea. 2) They help readers to find the specific stuff they are craving for, especially if it's rare.

Use their names. It’s okay to repeat names, that’s what they are for. Pronouns can get confusing and epithets sometimes feel like the author was doing everything in their power to NOT repeat the name of the character. Give the “taller man / shorter man” thing a rest, please.
