I often write Guardian RPF with realistic elements like closeted relationships or references to a homophobic environment.

I am aware that a lot of people prefer their RPF without these things, but I belatedly realized that I never really plainly tagged my fic to make this aspect clear.

But now I want to remedy this and tag my fic appropriately, both the ones that are set in "realistic China" and those that aren't.

Do clear tags for this exist, or should I (we) make up new ones for our fandom?

I don't want to use generic tags like "Homophobia" or "Fluff", because I'm not sure they're making it much clearer. I'm thinking of something like "set in real China" for the angsty case - in addition to the other warning tags I already use.

The fluffy case is more difficult, because negative tags ("not set in realistic China") are bad, but how do I make it clear that something is *not* in a fic without mentioning it?

"Happy RPF"?

Any ideas?

If we come up with something clear and precise, then I can go and add those tags to my fic.
