In any case, I'm going sequentially. Started with the further right menu, as that is more populated, but the other menu where the LotR section is, won't be long in getting to. So, I'm in a bit of a quandary here. While on the one hand, I have definite ideas of where/how things should be split, I am limited to three levels of categories at most. Which makes it a bit trickier. As we all know, the bookverse is VERY different from the movieverse. The movies didn't go into very many things, plus there was cutting out of certain characters, as well as substitution of some for others. What I'm getting at is that obviously the bookverse if much, much more extensive. Anyway, here's what I'm looking at now, considering that I've got those level limitations for now. Splitting the bookverse into ages, as certain elves, for example, (except in AU set stories) wouldn't BE past the First Age, as they would not have survived the fall of Beleriand. Some wouldn't even be mentioned much at all after the trees had been poisoned as they would've stayed behind in Aman. Naturally, to accomodate where some have lived through many ages, there should also be a multi-age category. But what this would mean, is that the ages would have to be top level categories, instead of below the top level category "Lord of the Rings Books". So, I'm thinking something like this: Bookverse: Pre-Trees/Trees Bookverse: First Age Bookverse: Second Age Bookverse: Third Age Bookverse: Fourth Age and later Bookverse: Multi Age Could drop the bookverse, as those of you who write for this fandom, are well aware of the different ages. There is a field for description, so I could just put "books" or something like that in the description. I dunno, still kicking this all around, as you can probably tell. In any case, could use some feedback, if any of you are willing, so I know what direction to go with this.

yup, it's why I ask for help

Indeed it does! I'll get to it after a nap tho. Thanks very much!

Anime 2 subdomain is done for now.

merged the other two subcategories and set it up with story type and pair type subcategories. If you guys want pair specfic sub sub categories, and know that there are stories in the archive to support those sub sub cats, pls let me know

This is now split with story and pair types as the first level category, and then pair specific a level below the pair type.

Okay, anime subdomain is done, with the exception of a small layout change. I'm sure manta2g will get to that as soon as it is possible for her to do so. In the meantime, for your stories that are now in top level categories, (i.e. categories where stories number 200 or more) which you now see in the side menu, you can actually edit the placement and put it where it belongs. Edit your story, and change the subcategory it's in to the subcategory it would actually belong to, and if there is a pair specific sub sub category where it would belong, you can select that as well. Something to keep in mind, there are three categories which are NOT pair type specific, but STORY type specific. These would AU, Crossovers, and General. General should be for stories that aren't concentrated so much on a relationship, but on writing in that particular world. Just a general sort of story. AU, of course, would be any Alternate Universe stories. Crossovers are self explanatory You can expect to see this subdomain by subdomain.

Merged 'em

THAT is really cool!

http://anime.adult-fanfiction.org/main.php?cat=25 I have pairs set up for the yaoi subcategory, am not aware of other pairs with stories attached to 'em other than what I listed so far.

http://anime.adult-fanfiction.org/main.php?cat=23 Only thing I'm missing for this section are popular pairs. Am not familiar with this anime, so I need help from people who are to address that.

What kind of document were you copy/pasting from? (meaning what program was it generated in) that sometimes can have an effect. As to fixing it, just open the chapter and edit it.

being in the midst of a VERY long work week, weird humor is just what I needed!

The algorithms which govern both are completely RANDOM in how they grant points at level up, and what you get when you kill someone.
