I've been doing beta work on a new website for the library as well as sending emails with massive amounts of beta feedback to our online catalog vendor.
I think I'm stuck in beta mode now. Much to the vendor's lament. *g*
I think the pages will work fine for what you need, and then those links can be put in your link list (and maybe your bio in the profile?) and you'd be good to go.
The only other things I can think of are if you want to include ratings on the fic list, and I know some do a "date first published" notation as well.
Some readers like to glom a new to them author in date order, but as an author it's sometimes interesting to see your own writing progression.
The categories give good hints about what the rating might be, but I've seen "first time" vary widely in ratings depending on whether or not the author does a "fade to black" or "it's pornin' time!" for sex scenes. *g*
I don't know that I have all the first published dates, but I'll see what I can find. I like the idea.
Ratings! I knew I was forgetting something. :-)
I just realized I need to include my OTPs, too.
I'd probably just put the Master link in my bio. That would limit the places I'd need to maintain. Though, eventually, that might be where my Master list is maintained, anyway.
You can probably cheat on the OTP listing by stating on each fic page "My OTP is ___/___, so assume that pairing unless otherwise stated."
It's fun to organize computer stuff, isn't it? That's actually one thing that's working out with the part-timer. He likes organizing the shelves, which I loathe, while I like doing catalog updates and repairs, which I wouldn't let him get close enough to touch with a 10-foot pole. Balances out.
When I had to go to the workshop on how to maintain the library's website, I kept getting funny looks from the guy in charge because almost everything he was explaining, I'd already done. Including reorganizing the "flow" of page accessibility.
Everyone else was dreading that part, while I was just killing time while in a pre-migraine state and not wanting to do anything else. I sometimes become hyperfocused when I'm pre-migraine.
My best friend says it can be rilly rilly scary to witness. She can't decide if that's worse than when I'm drugged to the gills to the point of being downright giddy. *g*
I love to *design* the stuff. I really hate doing the scut work of putting all the data in.
I bore easily. :-)
Still, it's my stuff, so I should be the one doing it. I'll start with everything that's currently linked in my link list and then branch out to whatever I've failed to include. :-)

Which is why it's always nice to have others look at it. :-)
