So, I have been trying to find a solution to a problem that I have:

I find that, often, the freeform tags on AO3, while a nightmare to use as an organization tool, are a very good complement to the description.
This is why, if I want to keep heavily trimming them down via 'replace_metada' for my tag column, I would also like to find a way to add them, untouched, to the description.

Since, to my understanding, there is no way of adding them to the description before replace_metadata does its thing, I was thinking of doing it in two times:
1) Download the stories and put the freeform tags in the description with no heavy 'tag management' in my replace_metadata (just deleting useless tags like 'Translation in ... available' etc...)
2) Add the 'Tag Management' part of my replace_metadata to my personal.ini and run an update from the saved metadata column to re-populate my Tag column.

I have two questions:

1) How do I add the content of the freeform tags to my description? Would

Code:

include_in_description:

work, or is there another way? (is it even possible?)

2) Does someone have a better idea?
