A sequence is the progression of an event over time through still images. In tagging terms this may refer to a single post containing a series of images that appear to be connected to a single event, or continuity, and usually lacks the narrative storytelling that a comic might have. It is not uncommon for a comic to also contain a sequence.
Keep in mind that a sequence is a very broad concept, and the difference between a sequence and a comic is blurry. This tag is mainly for visual progressions, and images that don't quite fit into the comic tag. Concepts that show a clear progression from one state to another are great for this tag, but a sequence can also be a string of independent actions that appear to be connected to a single scene, or progression of time.
This tag does not apply to post sequences. Those should be pooled instead.
The portrayal of a single character should be counted only once even if they are depicted multiple times across an entire sequence. If the sequence features a single character it should be tagged as solo, and so on.
Not to be confused with
- slideshow - A video made of a series of still images with definite pauses between them.
- comic - Use the comic tag for posts with a more complete narrative, narrative that appears over multiple pages, and posts that focus more on the narrative than the progression of an event over time.
- model_sheet
- multiple_images - Multiple images that are unrelated, or the relationship is unclear. Although a sequence can appear in a sketch page along with other unrelated images, usually the sequence tag shouldn't be used alongside the multiple_images tag.
- multiple_poses - For multiple poses that are unrelated, or the relationship is unclear.
- multiple_positions - Posts involving the same characters in different sexual positions. A sequence involving sexual activity should have evidence of a progression of events, and this is sometimes hard to determine. Use this tag instead of sequence when it is unclear.
