Random thought.

I'm thinking about updating my web site. Partly because there's a few newish stories that haven't gone up there just yet - Park Guy, most notably - but also because I'm not totally happy with the structure of the site.

At some point I want to put PDFs up on the site, especially of the longer stories, so they're easier to download and print. So far I only have the one PDF up there, though. What's concering me at the moment is, I've got a number of different pages up on the site - a master list of the stories, and then different pages dividing them up by pairing, length and genre. Which is a bitch to maintain, because it means I have to update four separate pages each time I add new stories.

So I thought I'd ask - as a reader, what do you usually find most useful, or expect to find? A single master list of stories with plenty of information - like pairing, genre and length - right there? A number of different pages so you can go to your favourite pairing or your favourite type of story, or see what I've got that's really meaty? Something that's searchable in some way? (I've no idea how to implement that, but I could probably figure it out.)

What do you think, people?

Well, as a reader I quite like lists by pairing as well, but genre and length sound like lots of work and little use. I think one masterlist is more than enough. And besides, if people are looking for just one thing in particular, they can always hit ctrl + F. :)

Wait, what's ctrl F do?

You can search the website you're on, at least in Firefox and Opera. :)
