Let's just say...

Let's say, hypothetically, that I were embarking on a new project for the new year.

Let''s also say this hypothetical project might look something like this, but a bit...broader in scope.

So, keeping in mind that this is entirely hypothetical...

If someone were to put together a giant index (not a rec list) of DC fanfiction, what tags would be most helpful for helping you find stories you a) might like to read,  b) have read before and would like to read again?

Lets say this hypothetical list is already tagged by major characters, pairing or threesome, pairing type (m/f, f/f/f, gen etc), cliche/themes (sex pollen, genderswap, self/self, etc), and that I'm hoping to split it up by rating and length as well, probably with three categories of each (short, medium, long, and gen, mild, adult).

Any suggestions? And...any volunteers? This is going to take me a while. ^_^;

I've considered a similar type of project in the past. I'd probably be willing to volunteer, though you'd have to wait until the summer hits for any real help since holy shit lots of words. But yeah, these are good tags. Maybe an author tag too.

I forgot to mention that one - my current list already has author tags.

I would be so happy to have your help. ^_^ Just indexing *your* fics is going to take a while, lol.

XD I'm thinking of backing up all my stuff on AO3, or at least all my *good* stuff. Some of my little tetchy comment fics barely even count as fic. Speaking of, I definitely have some of those that are not in my index. Oops.

Are you going to go through all of comment_fic's stuff too, by the way? Because there's a lot there.

I'm good at finding things other people overlook. Like my Bernard index. It's possible there's Bernard fic out there I didn't find, but I got a lot. If you want me to do mop-up type things, I definitely can.

Heh, I might leave comment_fic for one of the more regular comment_fic members. I think I've written two. I barely even keep up with just reading it. If someone volunteers to slay that dragon, I'll certainly let them, but it isn't going to be me. ^_^;

It'll probably be me on one of my anal-retentive days.
