If you have whole FORUMS dedicated to people who have problems with your product, THAT SHOULD TELL YOU SOMETHING.

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

Date: 2008-09-06 12:00 am (UTC)I suspect that my fics won't appeal to anyone searching for specific pairings. I almost never write pairing-fic, I prefer not to be searchable by genre (but I do have a "special: crossover" and "special: crossover au" tag), and almost everything is rated G. That said, I should highlight the "recommended" fics a little more for people who are new to my work.
Thanks for your comment--it helps me understand the view of the readers I'm not reaching! ^_^
