S.W.A.T. (2017)

[queer_scribbling]

I don't want to copy over the exact private [view-locked] post from Pillowfort, but I did want a record of compiling links for the new characters and relationships on the show - Ty, Kira, and the canonical Chris/Kira/Ty ship. (Chris/Kira, Chris/Ty, and Kira/Ty were also possible, but in tag wrangling terms, none of these ships had been canonized yet on AO3.)

I think this was around the time that I also tried to make some Fanlore pages for the show, but I mostly gathered the IMDB links in order to send a message in for any Tag Wranglers handling the show. Like, AO3 likes having a last name when canonizing character names, but "Kira (S.W.A.T.)" was all we had, and I didn't want an unspecified "Kira" to accidentally get synned somewhere else while handling other fandoms.

It sounds really doubtful of AO3 Tag Wranglers' abilities when I put it like this, which isn't what I meant. It's more that at the time, S.W.A.T. (2017) was a bit on the smaller side in terms of AO3 listings. The juggernaut ship that a lot of people have been more interested in writing also meant that I was the only person writing for these characters and ships. I just felt more personally invested in making sure tags were canonized on AO3.
