Lunchtime poll!

So, after quite literally years, I am finally updating my fic site. I'm also tweaking the site architecture a little, to accomodate the writing I've done in that time. There are a couple of decisions I've gone back and forth on, so rather than decide arbitrarily, I thought I'd ask ( Read more... )

I'm home sick and cranky, so you get a mostly rambling reply :)

I prefer all stories on the same page, as long as that doesn't result in a *giant* page, because I'm much more likely to read stories in my minor fandoms that way.

I like knowing how long a story is before I click on it. I don't care whether that is given as an approximate word count, file size, or just descriptive.

Oh, um, something else that I've totally lost now.

Hah, still useful, though! Thanks.

How about date of posting vs. alphabetical listing?

Oh, that's actually a tougher question than you think it is ( ... )

I'm also remembering my love of size-ordered listings. When I've never read much of an author's work before, I like to start with the small stuff and work my way up to the long pieces. Most importantly, I hate ending with a small story, because I'm unreasonable and end up feeling shortchanged.

But, I feel the same way about my daily reading, which I solve by opening up multiple tabs and choosing their order based on the scroll bar size, so it's not like I don't have a completely workable solution that I use on a particular author's site.

Also, I wanted to thank you for bringing all this up, because it reminded me of some things I needed to add to a friend's website that I had skipped out in our haste to get it up and running.

Size of file will have to wait for version 2.1, but thanks for the reminder that that matters!
