Fan Fiction Section Features Wish List & Task List

Posted: 1 years ago

Hi All,

Our fan fiction section is growing at a very fast pace and its amazing to so many writers moving their stories there. We already have 1750+ stories up there. It won't be wrong to say that this section itself can be a site in itself. 


We are committed to grow this section and add more features to attract more writers and readers to this section.


We want to hear your suggestions on how to improve. To start off I am sharing my current list and you guys can vote it up as that helps us in prioritising what we take up first.

You can even share your suggestions / wish list. Please keep one suggestion/feature request per post as that makes it easier to track.

Cheers,

Vijay

We need to have a report button for FanFictions so that user can report a fan fiction if its violating our FanFiction guidelines.

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).


UPDATE:

The feature is LIVE.

Have Fan Fiction specific badges for writers:


- Number of active stories by the writer 10 / 25 / 50 / 100 / 250 / 500

- Number of followers a writer have.

We will add more gradually...

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?

Yes it is quite possible but we can just create reasonable barriers. If someone wants to cheat the system it is on them and not on us.

There are sites which don't even ask the user to provide anything except that they agree they are 18+ and voila....

Secondly, we cannot ask them to provide a valid ID or something just to read an online story as that would be a stretch. 


If someone have a better suggestion please provide as we can always explore those.
