    [Other] Fanfiction . Net

    Anyone else that uses this site think it's time for more options for sifting through the fics?

    Example, I'm a big time GW fan, but by the time I sift through all the Yaoi, yuri, G and poorly written fics I've forgotten what I was looking for. Shouldn't they at least put in a Yaoi/Yuri filter to make it easier for those of us that're not squealing fangirls obsessed with boys loving boys or girls loving girls?

    Used to use that site years(7ish) ago to post a story two friends and I were writing at that time, and even then that site was a bane on anyone looking to find decent stories.

    Hmm now I'm curious if our story is still posted or not.

    hehe I think that site still has some of my old stuff I wrote a few AWFUL WoT fanfics, a decent Resident Evil fic and one badass Fight Club story

    but yeah the search function was godawful back when I used to be there, they REALLY need an 'adult' marker, and a filter to get rid of it when you search.
    Check out the blog I write for LEGENDARY Indie Label Flicknife Records:

    Blog Thirty is live! In which we discuss our latest releases, and our great new line of T-shirts.

    Why do you say that? If not there, where else. (the only ff sites out there i've been to are ff.net and mediaminer, needless to say I'm ignorant on the subject matter >.<)

    On topic: I'd prefer character filters that included more than two people, a filter that excluded certain characters from the results, and a #of word range. Right now its
    XXX amount of numbers or more.

    I use it. At my own risk.
    I really like epic fanfic (like, 200K words +), so the word count filter is useful. Until I have to scroll through a ton of fics that are just plain bad, or not to my tastes in literature (yaoi, etc). So, really, a great deal of time is spent looking and not reading. But when I do find something awesome, I'm happy I did.
    I read very fast, and it's just not worth it to buy books. I usually don't read them again.
