Fan Fiction Section Features Wish List & Task List - Page 8

The issue persists. Currently it shows 4 poems but when you click, only two of Pro's poems show up.

But when I click on "Poem" tag from my FF, it takes me to this page.

The other FFs/Poems don't show up when we click the Poem tag on the first page of FF section.

Hello 👋

Not sure if it is possible, but I’d love to see a couple of different font options as we used to have. Not just for FF sections but generally in the other forums as well.

And size options, I’m blind as a bat half the time but after normal, large makes it too large making the post unpleasant to the eye. Would it be possible to get font sizes in numbers or maybe some other options after normal.

Another member already mentioned it but the pasting leads to the sentences clustered and majority words losing spaces in between so I end up having to paste as plain written text and make the amendments. It would be appreciated if this could get fixed. It was certainly easier before copying and pasting from word to here as it took in italics, bolds, spaces, paragraph breaks etc into account which it doesn’t do now.

Not sure if this has been asked before and is under consideration : we need nested comments/replies in the FF section.

When I comment and the author replies, I want to reply back, there's no option to do that. Can we please have that?

While pasting the link of book covers, only .jpg files are accepted, but we can upload .png files using the upload image feature. Can the image link field accept both, jpg and png files, like the upload image feature?

I think it would help manage the general tags better if we could have drop-down options like we have for the other tags. These tag options could be created in the system memory once users have used the same tag a few times (number to be determined but I’m thinking 2 or 3 would be a good number). For example: If I create a new tag :’angst’, then once that tag has been used twice or thrice (by me or diff users) it is automatically memorized in the system so that the next time a user types ‘a’ or the first few letters the drop-down shows all tags that are already in use beginning with the letter and the user has to simply choose one. This will avoid users creating multiple tags and will help collate stories under one tag so they’re easier for readers to find. AO3 has this feature too and I think this will prevent authors creating too many unique tags and cluttering the section, keeping it more organized. .

We will look into this…

Please check, if these badges are ok or suggest changes if any.

Thank you so much! The badges look lovely 😳

A suggestion though, could the badge for Colors that Fly High participants (the second badge) be based on the runner up entry of the badge contest?

Need to introduce Story Ratings System (similiar to how movies have General / PG / R etc) so that user have a clear idea on level of the story.

Current plan is:

G (general audiences)

M (mature audiences / 13+)

R (restricted, no children under 17 allowed)

X (no one under 21 admitted and would require to update their profile with Date of Birth).

Vijay Sir,

Let us say, a person A aged 10 yo creates a IF profile and enters his or her DOB as x.x.1990 instead of his or her real DOB.

Don’t you think underaged people will still be able to read story which is actually catering to M / R or X rated age group?

1- Please add more option in the genre section. Like Mystery, Angst, Supernatural, Paranormal

defnitely need more options in genres and easier/non-repetitive portions to fill out when adding a new story to the section.

Copy pasting my suggestion from the site updates page:

Regarding the new fanfiction section, it is cool but interaction via comments there feels clumsy and so sometimes readers either don't comment or writers prefer to stick to the forum for better interactions. And we even have cases where people post in the FF section but create a thread in the forum for updates and discussions.

Can we have something where once an FF is posted in the FF section, a linked thread us automatically created in the associated forum for all discussions? The comments and reviews from readers can reflect in both places. This will be motivating for readers and writers both as writers get a sorted interface to manage their stories and index while readers get a clean and familiar interface for reviews.

As a writer, I like the FF section features but I like the discussions aspect of the forum more and hence prefer to post my stories in the forum vs the FF section.

Tagging fellow writers

Me too, I prefer the Forum section, more than the Fan Fiction section. There are problems with many things. We can't use Emojis, we can't get the required amount of things there, sometimes while migrating the chapters the like disappears, and especially we can't share the link of the chapters from there.
