I often use tags to navigate people's journals...so, umm, here are some things I like (these may or may not apply to you):
1. If you have a multichaptered fanfic that doesn't always link it's parts together - have one tag for it so that I can call up all parts by tag.
2. If you tend to write in different genres or themes - like you right current fanfic, but you also really like writing pre-series - separate them by tags so that if I just want to read your pre-series stuff, I can find it all with one tag. If you make fanart - and you make manips, as well as original art, and sometimes you make videos...separate them by type in tags, again, so that if I just want to see your videos, or just want to see your original art, then I don't have to sort through all the other stuff.
Those are the main ways I use tags anyway. I find people usually either have too few or too many tags. I think at my own journal I probably have too few, as I tend to lump random things into "I don't have a tag for this", which is probably annoying to some people, but I like to think of it as a grab-bag of fun. :-P
