I was thinking... What about multi-chapter fics? How are we gonna link to those? Just link to the first chapter, link to the tag for that story on someone's personal LJ? I think the tag option would work for stories on personal LJ's, but not for stories that were posted on the LuRe_atwt community alone, because LuRe_atwt only has author/artist tags and no specific story tags... What about linking to all the chapters of that specific month? That would work.

I think it's a good idea if we all pick a month and index those fics.

And would there be author tags as well?

I love your idea for multi-chapter fics, I've been trying to think of how that would best work. Posts on those are the only things I was thinking will need editing - I'd like to maybe have the post look like this (and replace WIP with COMPLETED in the posts when it happens):

August 2010 - lure_atwt community - Multi-chapter fics

dpracket - Makin' a list - PG-13-R (Chap 21-25) - WIP

As far as author tags, I was mostly thinking no, because the author tags in lure_atwt are fairly comprehensive/well-used, and on LRO, you can sort the posts by author. But we could revisit that if we think there's a need.

I think listing all the chapters like that would definitely work. But for authors like Slayerkitty and Mech_bull, who update almost every day, they'd perhaps need to be behind a cut.

I also have a question XD. How are we gonna index the fics? One entry per tag? Or an entry per month? Or both, or one entry per story?

Like... Would a fic like Save Me (Slayerkitty) be in different entries, such as:
1. September 2010
2. Alcoholism/Drunk!Luke
3. Pre-Canon
4. AU
5. Luke/Noah
6. LuRe's first time
7. Multi-chapter fics
etc.

I agree that it would be easier if there was one entry per tag, rather than one entry by month,community and tag
