I like tagging
We don't have a perfect system as of yet to notify us when our favorite writers have posted something new. Until then, tag.
That little red circle with the number inside--it makes us feel special, wanted, considered. When it turns out to be a mass tag, it's just not as special anymore. I've come to terms with it. I'm a grown-ass man. I don't get upset about junk mail, and let's face it, sometimes there's an Arby's coupon in there!
I've seen some truly talented young writers here, and if anyone here is proud of having worked to produce something they feel is worthy of sharing with the world, tag.
We can't possibly hinge our lives on Prose, catching every post. We have lives which keep us away from our favorite source of bootleg writings. How many have slipped by simply due to life's busy schedule? If you want me to read your work when I get back on, tag.
Reposting is nice, but when you see something that deserves more than a single click of approval, tag.
I know some folks aren't here to grow their literary fan base, but some are. Why wait to get those eyeballs looking in your direction? Some will categorize it as junk mail, some will appreciate being kept on the mailing list, others will take a chance and read it, so... tag.
If someone despises being included in mass tagging, they'll find clever ways of letting you know, and you can adjust your list appropriately. Be creative, be responsible, and by all means, if you don't post very often, add me to your mass tagging list because I want to see what you've got to share. If it doesn't grab me, I'm out what... four, five seconds? I'll get over it.
