I also tried swapping it out for (^(?=.*Mass.Effect) in case there was something going on with a non-standard space, but it also returned blank. |
If the difference is which site it's on (assuming your AO3 example had tag "Mass Effect" as well), I'd be looking if you have something in your [fanfiction.net] section that affects it or overrides your settings.
BTW, when you start using negative and positive look aheads in the
same regexp you are beyond my regexp level--have fun with that black magic. I'd just split it into more than one line if it's causing problems.
