It's all good, I was able to figure it out.

I'm going through the "tag browser" using the "category editor" to see what else I can exclude and I kind of want to shake my head at what people are adding to tags in AO3, so much of it is nonsense, with only one person using that tag. I had over 60k tags in genre alone. I'm mass deleting everything with 1 tag, especially anything that starts with an author's "I" "will" "also" "I'm" and other awful tags that add nothing to the reader's understanding of what is in the fic.

I'm crossing my fingers that someday AO3 will limit the amount of freeformtags an author can use. I think no more than 10 will really cut down on the amount of useless metadata.

Thanks for your help!
