note! see edits!
via AO3 Support: Canadian 6 Degrees is now it's own fandom on the Archive -- located under Other Media (because it's an umbrella fandom uniting other fandoms of various media) -- and "Canadian Actor RPF (C6D)" is now a subtag of "Canadian 6 Degrees".
C6D SUB-FANDOMS, such as S&A, Wilby, etc., are automatically wrangled under the C6D umbrella because
luzula is awesome like that. However, those large fandoms with C6D tangential characters, such as Leoben in BSG, are NOT, because BSG in general is its own fandom.
Therefore, if you want your work containing C6D characters to be findable on the AO3 via the "Canadian 6 Degrees" (aka "C6D - Fandom") tag, then follow these instructions:
1. Log in to the AO3
2. Select "Edit Tags" on your C6D works.
3. On the Fandoms line, add either "Canadian 6 Degrees" or "C6D - Fandom". These tags are synned, so clicking Canadian 6 Degrees will pull all the works with each tag.
Many thanks to Luzula & SamJ for the clarifications!
