Hello! I'm just returning and re-suggesting this idea that I actually got great replies from the site moderators from before. But...seems like it didn't work out. So I'm trying again! I've seen the new changes and I actually went through all my stories and re-categorized them to fit the new changes better. But the thing is, as a strictly M/M writer, I feel like there's not enough appreciation from this site for my writing base. Don't get me wrong! ;; I mean, this site is a great site and very free for people to post multiple types of works and I love that. Really, I love this site, but I wish the Slash writing category was more...inclusive. Like, some of the new changes are really nice and help with finding the types of fics people want, no doubt about it. But, people would have to go to Originals, THEN to ex: Erotica, THEN they'd choose Slash. But for me, and I'm sure for many people, Slash or M/M writing is the FIRST thing I look for. It'd be amazing if somehow, we could go to Originals, and then choose SLASH, and have all those subcategories be like erotica, angst, vampire, and so on. It's only because I'm pretty sure, when someone is looking for a male/male fic, they'd prefer (I know I would) to be in a STRICTLY Slash category and then be able to search for Fantasy or Drama and all those that are specifically Slash. I mean, it also helps with submitting stories, because MOST of the M/M stories now are just under the 'Original-Misc' category, then the subcategory of 'Slash-M/M'. I don't know, maybe this is too much to do, but I just really really would love if this were possible. Obviously if it doesn't change, then nothing bad will happen, and I really won't be too upset. This is more wishful thinking on my part and just a hope of mine to see. But if not, no hard feelings! I will continue to love this site, and somehow work around it. Thank you for listening! EDIT: Oh, and I was just thinking, maybe perhaps, because Slash is becoming such a massive fanbase, maybe after on the main page of the site, after we click "Originals" the first dividing choice could be like, "M/M or M/F or F/F" . Cause that seems like it would save A LOT of space and web room, but I don't really know. *nervous laugh* I just don't want you guys to think I'm trying to order you around or anything. And I really don't know the mechanics of internet website building but it just seems that maybe getting the gender pairings out of the way FIRST, and then having each of those have the same subcategories would make things more compact. Also, some of the subcategories are too limiting. I have stories that are both Drama AND Romance, yet there's only one choice. Perhaps those should just be limited to the Tags, and subcategories aren't even really needed because the Tags take care of that. I don't know, I'm just throwing out ideas as they come to me. Lol, alright, if anyone has any questions I'll try to reply back adn explain it, okay? Also, if the Slash category is refined, perhaps more people will join this site, and perhaps also, more people will donate money. Thank you again!

Hello, Lunarwench here again, and let me just say that your guys ROCK for replying. Even if nothing can be done, or if it'll take some time to figure out how to do it, I LOVE that you replied. Not only that, but I got numerous replies! That makes me feel giddy, knowing my voice was heard! So, if there is some way to make a sub-category for Slash types, do you think we should have like a poll about what categories to include? I wonder how specific they should be? Ah, but I'm getting ahead of myself here. Just thanks for listening and thinking about it!

I'm a mainly-Slash writer and I love how there's a specific section for Slash fics, but I find that it's becoming very crowded in the slash archive. Is there some way we can make another sub-menu for defined Slash types? Like how after you click Originals, it brings you to the sub-menu where you can find Romance, Vampire, Slash, etc. Well, it would be AMAZING if after you click Slash there was ANOTHER sub-menu for like, Fantasy Slash, Furry Slash, PWP Slash, and even Vampire Slash, or Sci-Fi Slash if there's a big enough call for it. I know that many writers post their various types of Slash in other catorgories than Slash because they happen to be using the type like Fantasy and such. Personally, I really don't like scanning through all those various sections for a simply Slash that won't be IN the Slash Section. I think this would greatly organize the vastly huge (and ever growing) collection of Slash. Let me know what you think? Also, those with their Fantasy Slash in the Fantasy section could move it to the 'Original>Slash>Fantasy' section. See? Does anyone else agree? Am I making a good point?
