Fic!

I (finally) polished up and posted the extended epilogue/sequel to Every Door a Death: Knocking on the Doors of Paradise. Ye Zun POV, smidge under 5k, will likely make little sense unless you read the 30k it's a sequel to.

I also finished my action/adventure story's first draft. It clocks in at 10k, so I'll do gross edits and then post it as two chapters while doing line edits, probably. Reader question: if you saw something tagged with Major Character Death (archive warning) and Temporary Character Death (freeform), how would you interpret that?

(Things inspiring the fic: the legend of Lemminkäinen's mother, the Babylon 5 episode Soul Hunter.)

You might also recall that I posted four ideas on what to do next in the sausage factory post. In the grand tradition of Pingu getting ideas, I'm doing none of them and instead have conceptualized something completely different. Well, the Hallows will still feature, but ... differently. >:D

The fic would be scenario 1). Would there be a combination of tags that would make you certain that what happened in the fic was that a major character died and then was revived in-fic?

Perhaps something that directly mentions the MCD warning? I'm looking at the tags that fall under the same meaning as Temporary Character Death and lots of them go like "Major Character Death is only Temporary." That's something I'd be into, I think.
Alternatively, something like a "character revives" tag might work? But that doesn't seem to have a canonical tag (or I can't find it).

"Major Character Death is only Temporary."
Hmm. That ... sounds interesting. Hmm. I'll go hunting for tags related to resurrection, too.
