How few tags for just your story?

[ShamelessPSW]

I came up with this idea the other night that I thought would be fun to try. You go to the series finder and see how few tags you can search for to get just your story. I thought about calling it a Uniqueness Factor, but if you have other ideas, I'm interested to hear them. For my story, I can do it in three, which to me isn't surprising as it has a lot of infrequently used tags.

I don't mean this as a way to brag or to put down other peoples stories. Finding a unique way to do something in a well-established genre is a feat in itself, and leaning on tropes to help with plot and story beats is something I am using in my own story.

Interesting. I've managed to get mine in three, as well: Dystopia, Evil Protagonists, Misunderstandings—though it's possible there are other 3binations that would work.

I managed two for mine, Power Couple and Toys. ;)

Lysette: Herbalist + Fast Cultivation is unique

Dragonfire: Fallen Nobility + Reluctant Protagonist narrows it down to two stories. There'd be multiple potential third tags to disambiguate.

I dunno how unique it is but one of my stories is ranked 4 in Playboys. Another story was ranked first for that at once point but maybe becaus that volume is listed as complete, its not displaying a ranking for anything. Which is still kinda odd but whatever.

Well, none of my stories are very unique in themselves. I only started a majority of them because i love cliche stories, but happen to sometimes run across stories that the premise fits myntastes oerfectly yet the execution isnso shit that i think, "nah fuck this i could write a way better story like this" and get to writing. And i always prove myself right, but procrastination and porn addiction are my mortal enemies.

Its really God nerfing me. Otherwise I'd have outsold the Bible by now. So obviously, knowing this, God cursed me. Fearing, nay, jealous, of my power

Honestly, I relate so much to this. For mine, I'm definitely leaning heavily into a few cliches but striking out on my own for others. I just tried again and couldn't quite get it down to two, but maybe if I went back through and added tags I possibly could.

Genetic Modifications + Homunculus

There's probably a few others that work, but there's surprisingly a lot of stories that share some weird combinations.

 

[MajorKerina]

Takes three for me with pets forgetful protagonist and single parent. Some of them get really close. It's interesting because when I shot for tags I wanted to go more for ones that were decently populated rather than ones that perhaps fit better but didn't have a lot of stories

 

[supremechadd]

I maxed out all the tags

 

[Zagaroth]

Two Tags: "Dungeons" "Marriage of Convenience"

Not a single other story on the list. :)

Also currently #11 under the "marriage of convenience" tag

3 tags: near-death experience, time skip, transformation ability.

But that one almost felt like cheating since only the villains get transformations, so: near-death experience, time skip, conditional power.
