Content Tags List
This is the full list of Content Tags used in the HSWC. They exist both to help people better understand what the Major Content Tags entail and to be used as Content tags themselves, should people wish to use them.
Major Content Tags
If you wish to use an expanded major tag, list it in parenthesis after the actual major tag. For example: Abuse (bullying, emotional manipulation).
You cannot leave this area blank in your entry's header block. If there are no tags present in your work, write "NONE." If you are choosing not to use tags to avoid spoiling your entry, write "TAGS OMITTED." Leaving this area blank will disqualify your entry from the final vote.
