I really like the little icons to help catch your eye for new updates and whatnot, very cute :D
I have to agree with Court though, something like that (which clearly takes massive amounts of work, wow) is awesome, but I'd chose the ease of efiction's archiving system over the pain of html coding. Plus, I agree with the points that Court mentioned regarding how easy it is to search for fics based on various criteria. With a list like that it requires the viewer (especially the new and unindoctrinated) to spend a lot more time reading every line of info when perhaps they're only searching for a particular pairing or genre or rating. A searchable database is probably always going to be easier for that purpose simply by the nature of the thing *nods*
With that said though, I'm still going to spend awhile going through your list and find some good stuff to read XD
