LIST OF ALL SUBMISSION TAGS AND MEANINGS
taken from subreddit:

List

[WP] Writing Prompt (This tag was redacted and is implied unless a different tag overrides it.): A basic, textual writing prompt. A writing prompt is a phrase, theme, scenario, action, etc., which is used to inspire a writer to develop a story line. Formatted input: [QP] Quote inspired prompt: A famous (or not so famous) quotation as a prompt.

[MP] Media Prompt: Media, other than images, as prompts (videos, gifs, etc).

Please be aware of Reddit’s guidelines on posting media.

Formatted output: [CW] Constrained Writing: If the replies are sought with constraints on the writing (length, restricted words, characters, etc.).The constraint must be mentioned in the title/body of the post.

[POETRY] Erotic Poetry: If the replies are sought in the form of a poem.

[SF] Script Format: If the replies are sought in the form of a script.

Lore based: [CS] Continuous Writing: If you want multiple users to collaborate to create one continuous (or branched!) story. Users can choose to continue the story from any comment by replying to it or start their own chain.

[EU] Established Universe: If you want the story to take place in an established fictional universe i.e. Harry Potter, Star Wars, etc. Please mention which EU your prompt is about either in the title (e.g. [EU][Harry Potter] Hermione casts a lust spell), in the prompt's text description, or in a reply to the Automod comment.

[RF] Reality Fiction: If you want fictional stories involving real people and/or real events.

[CC] Constructive criticism: If you wrote a story and want constructive feedback on it, you can submit the story as its own post. The story does not have to be based on a prompt.

[PM] Prompt Me: If you want to write stories to prompts people give to you specifically, you can make a post inviting prompts in the comments and then reply to the ones you like with stories.
