So on the one hand, tag filtering being down at AO3 is a major pain, because there's a particular fic I want to read and I know how to get there via tags and don't particularly care to try and search for it otherwise.

On the other hand, tag filtering being down on AO3 is fucking awesome, because "# of works found in [specific tag]" no longer cuts off at 1,000. I methodically went through the entire archive by a particular 'ship when it was limited to 1,000, and it was fifty pages of potential deliciousness, and now there's a good fifty more pages for my current 'ship + fandom parameters.

On the other other hand, that's potentially disastrous, because I will totally spend more time than I have any right to going through all the pages of fic I haven't seen before and will regret it deeply when it comes time to measure my productivity levels.

*dryly* Clearly my life is fraught with tragedy and peril.

I really really need to set up an account there and read ALL THE THINGS.

Thankfully, most of the things are accessible even without an account, but the fact that some of them aren't (and also the mild desire to actually post some fic there) is a strong motivator for me actually trying to get an invite. Not that I'll stop procrastinating over it (I thought about doing that, but then I decided to put it off until later (*rimshot*)), but now I do have more than one reason, so that's me somewhat closer to actually doing it.
