An additional horror type tag has been proposed for medical horror. Please see below the cut for potential specifics.

As with the previous set of proposed changes, I would like to know the community's stance before making this addition final. The current list of horror type tags can be found here.

Based on current community feedback as well as some discussion on discord, below are the first set of proposed changes to the initial 9 horror type tags.

While trying to pin down horror types definitively may not be feasible, I really do hope that these tags can function to help better matching between requests and offers in this exchange.

Overlap, as several have pointed out and I completely agree with, is most likely unavoidable. All the same, the intention of these tags is to provide a sort of emphasis on the type of horror that one would want to focus on.

For example, as was raised during a discussion on discord yesterday, zombies could potentially be included in various tags. If Requester A is interested in horror focused on surviving a zombie apocalypse, they may choose Survival Horror as a tag. On the other hand, if Requester B is interested in horror focused on someone's physical features morphing as they turn, they may choose Body Horror as a tag. (And so on.)

With that in mind, please see below for the first set of proposed changes. I hope this addresses some of the main concerns brought up thus far.

Feedback on these proposals is very welcome! I would like to know the community's stance before making any of the changes final.

2021 Update:

  • At the moment, there are no plans on my end to change either the medium matching or the 15 horror type tags from last year's tagset. However, please still feel welcome to discuss or provide feedback about Horror Type tags here. New ideas or suggestions may be considered if there is sufficient agreement from the community.
  • This year, I am considering letting participants request "Opt-In" Horror Types in addition to the Horror Type tags that are in the tagset. These Opt-Ins could not be matched on. However, if named and described in optional details, a creator could choose to create based on the Opt-In instead of the tagset Horror Type. For example, if somebody opted-in to XYZ Horror by saying so and briefly describing their interpretation of XYZ Horror, then their assigned creator could create for XYZ Horror instead of the tagset Horror Type they matched on. My hope is that this would allow flexibility to accommodate niches that may not be adequately represented by the more general Horror Types in the tagset. Any thoughts on this, please feel welcome to share by commenting on this post.
  • No changes to Horror Type Tags will be made once nominations have closed.
