My title line is always "Name of fic (pairing/ship, rating, AU if applicable)". When I share to Twitter, I like to put the fandom ahead of it like "Justified: Long Time Coming (Raylan/Boyd, NC-17)" so people unfamiliar with the ships can know this isn't some other character of the same name in a different fandom.
My delicious is not exactly a paragon of organization but I can generally find things in it so I am not worried.
When I tag character names or something, I use "glee:kurt.hummel"
But then I just put "glee" in front of everything I tag related to glee, so there are tags like "glee:kurt/blaine" instead of "pairing:kurt/blaine" and stuff.
Listing author first and then title is great not only for sorting by author, but also because you don't have to tag by author, which I think is a nightmare if you have a ton of fics saved. If you click on a fandom tag and then try to add another tag, scrolling through a ton of authors gets tedious.
Metafandom, iirc, has a ton of articles on tagging techniques. There's also a comm called deliciouslymadBack before I cut my tags to >300, I did use the prefix-colon system, and I liked "ship:" better than "pairing:" because it worked better for threesomes and because it was shorter, which is a totally arbitrary reason

Also also also, there's a handy wordcount add-on for Firefox that is fantastic for when the author doesn't provide a link pff length - pretty sure Chrome has an equivalent.

It's nice to meet someone more OCD than me. ♥
