The Life of a Wrangler
The AO3's Tag Wranglers are recruiting again! If you're a regular AO3 user, tag wrangling is a nifty way to give back, and once you're through training it can be as much or as little work as you need it to be. And I promise you're pretty insulated from what goes on up the tree in the leadership...
There's some nifty stuff on the wranglers needed list this time - you know you want to be the new wrangler for Young Wizards or Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles or Rick and Morty or Elfquest.
Anyway, I bring that up because last month, as a favor to a fan who was doing a study on social tagging systems (don't worry they had their ethical stuff all in line), I spent two weeks keeping a daily diary of my wrangling, and I thought y'all might be interested in a glimpse into the daily life of a tag wrangler.
IMPORTANT NOTE: This is a glimpse into how I wrangle, every wrangler has a different workflow, do not use this to judge the team as a whole, I am a BOWQ at this point, there are many fresh-faced less cynical wranglers doing very very good work.
