Subject: 5. List of Current Tags
When choosing a tag to put at the beginning of your post, this list should
be a canonical reference. If you see a need for a new tag, send mail to
the FAQ maintainer so that it can be added.
First, the general tags:
ADMIN Administrative matters affecting everyone on RACC.
FAQ FAQs of note for the entire RAC* hierarchy. These will tend
to be crossposted here.
META Discussion about the newsgroup itself. This includes
or CHAT everything from general discussion of on-line fiction and RACC
in particular to recommendations on how long posts should be.
PRECOG Announcements of upcoming series, planned stories, and the
or PROMO like.
WWW Announcement of a web page related to RACC or a free strip.
Now, all of the writing imprints. Note that new ones of these pop up all
the time. Entries marked with (*) are in danger of being retired due to
lack of activity. If you have any changes, please mail eagle@eyrie.org.
8FOLD A closed universe that encompasses serious superheroes, comedy,
memoir, and just about anything else: high-quality fiction of
any stripe is welcome.
ACRAPHOBE Mature stories that may or may not fit into other universes'
or ACRA continuity. Using this flag in conjunction with another is
not unheard of. (For example, Scav's _501 Blues_ is
LNH/ACRAPHOBE.) Think a meta-Vertigo.
ASH Academy of Super-Heroes. Dave Van Domelen's RPG-based future-
history stories. See <https://www.eyrie.org/~dvandom/ASH>.
ELSEWHIRLS LNH stories that do not fit into LNH continuity. Think DC's
or EW Elseworlds.
HCC The High Concept Challenge, a continuous series of writing
contests. Each round, the winner, chosen by reader vote, gets
to pick the next round's concept.
LNH Legion of Net.Heroes, "The Friendliest Shared Universe
Going!(TM)" A mostly parody universe, though it does have its
serious side.
LNH20 On the LNH's 20th anniversary, a group of writers took it upon
themselves to create a new world, based in everything they
loved about the LNH, in the best spirit of comic book reboots!
LNH20 is just as friendly as the original, but easier to get
into! Hop right in, the adventure's fine!
LNHY An Imprint involving an alternate LNH universe called
Looniverse Y. The big difference between this and the Classic
LNH is that writers are allowed to have only one character of
theirs in this Looniverse's LNH.
RACCCafe A continuity-free outpust where RACC characters can unwind
after a hard day of being mangled by their writers. Anything
can happen, as long as it's funny, and there are no
consequences!
SG Superguy. From Space Moose to the Bomb. Comedy superhero
writing with a far different background than LNH. Note that
only a small slice of Superguy stuff appears here; to see the
rest, go to <https://lists.eyrie.org/mailman/listinfo/superguy>.
STARFALL Lightly serious and seriously light superheroics, and better
because of it. ;)
NTB Net.Trenchcoat.Brigade. A bunch of Vertigo-like characters
that own stock in London Fog. Not tremendously active, but
they do have a considerable history. Implied Acraphobe.
OMEGA A serious psi-based shared super-world and once upon a time
RACC's third largest universe, now inactive. Created by the
legendary Matt Rossi.
OSD The Order of Saint Doomas. Items relating to RACC's anti-spam
cult. (See Section 3 above.) No posts have been seen from
this imprint in quite some time, but that doesn't mean they're
gone....
SW10 SW stands for Superhuman World. 10 is an annual tag. The
comic has proceeded to 2011, but the tag has frozen at 2010
because that's when the series really interacted with RACC.
Scott Eiler has written the story of this universe since
before 1991, but 1991 is when the modern heroes of this series
start. His sources include adolescent male power fantasy,
superhero role-playing, comic-book satire, and dreams. See
<http://www.eilertech.com/stories/>.
MISC Stories not in the above categories or in their own universes
(authors are encouraged to make up their own headers as well).
To limit the number of imprints, and to keep this FAQ to
reasonable lengths, let's adopt this convention: One-shot
stories or series should use the MISC flag. Series that set
up shared universes should create their own, new imprint.

Random question is the list of tags comprehensive?
Thanks!!
I'm a bit unsure about writing a description before it's confirmed tho.. I don't want to be too confident and all.

"SLIME" has indeed earned a place on this list. Writer of "SLIME" is
always invited to provide a description.
I, being writer of "SW10", am always invited to provide a FAQ. Silly
writer of SW10 has thus far thought, providing a top-level web page plus
a Wiki is good enough. www.eilertech.com/stories/wiki/ ... But silly
writer might have to do better.

Please do!
And in general anyone who wants their tag listed in the FAQ, please go
ahead and post or send me a description and I'll be happy to add it. (And fix the bit that implies that this is a comprehensive list.)
Alright..
SLIME: A simple slice-of-life story focused on a group of slimes and
their friends. Main story told through daily comics.
