Fan Fiction II: Great story! Where's the sequel?

This thread is for fanfic recs, links, and discussion, but not for actual posting of fanfic.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

But your email sounds like you think they're being homophobic, which is going to be taken less seriously than "Hey, you know people are going to think you're homophobic", especially if you (developer-you) really don't care in the least about the gayness of the tags. Which I would expect is the case.

Hell, the gawker redesign doesn't even have slash tagging, but they broke shit with slashes in it. It doesn't make fandom look good to keep running to the conspiracy explanation every time.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

I know it is pretty popular to use portmanteau ship names in het. fic circles, but I despise them, and use name/name regardless of respective gender or the slashiness of the pairing. I am not the only one who does that, too. So while it may hit the slash community harder, y'all are not alone. I say this as someone who rarely uses Delicious.

They've already fixed the slash problem, let's hope they get to some of the other stuff just as quickly.

I know I'm missing something obvious here, but I'm on AO3 on the last page of a WIP. How do I set an alert for its completion or furthering?

The best I can figure out is that you "subscribe" [link] to an author and then anything new they post, story or chapter of a WIP, will be sent to you in an e-mail update. Kinda clunky, but I suppose it's better than nothing.

Hrrm. Thanks. I hope this author doesn't write about anything else.

So with Delicious it looks like tag auto-complete is back, the slash issue is no longer an issue, and the main screen shows 25 links instead of ten. Not back to prior usefulness, but no longer useless, to me, at least.
