Because that's a thing I'd like to have on my title pages: the freeformtags as posted. When you put them in a tags column, they're alphabetized which would be fine if people actually used them as tags but of course some authors practically tell stories in the tags (and yes, I like to keep the stories I suppose).
If culytera is referring to the longtext metadata column—not 100% on this, wording's a bit unclear—tags are unsorted and looks something like this. (story in question)

Code:
<p><span class='label'>Freeform Tags</span>: <div class='metadata list' id='freeformtags'><ul>
<li>Shadowscales</li>
<li>Original Character(s)</li>
<li>character backstory</li>
<li>Implied/Referenced Alcohol Abuse/Alcoholism</li>
<li>Alcohol</li>
<li>Minor Character Death</li>
</ul></div><p>
