@chaley This worked!!!

For those who are interested in doing something similar, here's the details:

For the Pairing to Characters conversion, I set up an Action Chain exactly as chaley said, so I could run it on the books currently in my library. (New books imported will automatically populate #characters based on that field in FanFicFare.) The #characters column is a Comma Separated Text, like tags, shown in Tag Browser, with the "Names" option checked.

For my #koboshelves column, I set up a custom column as a "Column built from other columns, behaves like tags" with the following template:

Code:

{#fandom},{#pairing},{#characters:re(&, \,)}

This does end up with a bit of clean up work to merge all the "Character (implied)" and "Character (past)" into "Character", but it's worth it!
