Ah... Apologies for not looking through old threads then. I understand coding can be... tricky.

Didn't know that bit, it is a step in the right direction but auto-notification is the goal I'd have in mind.

True you can narrow it to just threesome/moresome or het or pure yaoi fics but even with the threesome/moresome category you still have to wade through dozens of pair types you don't want. All I'm saying is that it would be handy and useful as a whole as opposed to just a search function.

Yea, I get that. Not what I'm saying. Do you know exactly how many Yaoi stories pop up if you search Slave in say... the Naruto Section? A lot. And half of the het ones don't SAY they're het even as a tag making it an imperfect way to do it. It'd be better if there could be actual tags applicable to it that you can say... check off. Like if you want an X-Men fic that's het, time travel, and harem. I'd be willing to bet it's relatively hard to find just because the person might not actually use the "tags". This would at least lower the odds of that happening. Makes it easier for the average reader who doesn't want to go fic diving through hundreds of stories.

If it isn't in there it should be. It's a hell of a lot more damn useful than the authors doing that. I know that if I had to remember to do that everytime I uploaded a story to FFN I'd go insane. Haven't uploaded a story here yet but I'm getting ready to.

I was wondering why there isn't some kind of update alert that a reader can set up. I'd like to know when stories get updated without checking on them every two days.

You could give authors the ability to attach tags to their story and add a page linking to all Tags where you can click a tag and it takes you to a page of stories that have that particular tag on them. Possibly a "Don't Show This Tag" option. That way if you only want het or only want yaoi you could eliminate the opposite side from your search entirely.
