Um... so you need to tag your piece and then tag it with the dove tag to indicate your tags are meant to be taken seriously? So if you don't use the dove tag, that means your other tags are just there for no particular reason at all?

This must be one of the weirdest things I've ever heard. (I admit I know basically nothing about fanfic, as it's not my cup of tea at all.)
