Hey look, it's a mod post!

Can I make a suggestion/comment?
I've been a mod on several different fic-focused communities and since you're doing away with the author tag, I'd suggest adding memories by author. That way, people will still be able to see who wrote what but it'll be in the memories instead. I know that means a bit more work for the moderators of this lovely community with the meming they'd have to do every day but if people are worried about not being able to find their favourite authors, they could look in the memories instead.
Feel free to ignore this if you think it isn't a viable option. =)

Other than that, I love the changes and I think it's a good to change things for the better of the community.

Another possibility is to merge the author tags a bit. Like maybe "authors: f" and everyone who's username started with "f" would use that tag.

[star55]

Ohh, yes, I've seen that work well too! Then there's only 26 tags in use instead of over 1000 for the all of the authors here.

THAT I didn't of when I was trying to find something else. I'll discuss it with the other mods.

I looked at doing memories, and while it would have fixed the problem of having so many tags, it wouldn't help with how much time it was taking up and how active comm is, so that was why I didn't go with that one.

I like this idea better than no author tags at all!

[moonlitsiren]

Def like this idea better. It makes it easier to find other fics by an author that you like, since some of them don't post to their own journals or tag the posts if they do.

[rockinhamburger]

Agreed, on every count.

[heartsasmagnets]

This please.

[oncetwiceforevr]

i'll jump on this bandwagon, too. i will make a masterlist at my LJ too but this will make it easier access on the comm itself ! :0)

[ancuru]

Very good idea. :)
