  • Has something changed and made all the already entered tags disappear? I was noticing that I couldn't for example find all of Bek's work in one place any more. If this is true, is anything planned to bring this back. It was quite helpful even if it didn't have everything that Bek had written.

  • Try the following:

    Click on STORIES in the upper right menu.
    In the left sidebar, click on Original Timeline.
    In the center section, you'll find a table full of original timeline canon stories. At the very top, in the upper left of this table of stories, you'll see a grey text box (it may or may not be labeled 'Author Filter' - it used to be a Tags Filter). Type "Bek" into that box (no quotes) and hit enter. This should give you 'most' of Bek's canon stories. You'll have to do the same in the 2nd Gen category and the Library to find everything... because there's no 'easy' way to get things in all categories at once right now... but it isn't that hard to do a couple times.

    Alternately, you can go to the canon collections... and at the header row of the table, click on the word Authors. This forces the stories to sort into 'by author' order. From there, its just a matter of scrolling down until you find the Bek stories and going through them until they run out.

  • Speaking of tags, is there any facility for readers to suggest tags for some of the incompletely tagged stories? Not something where suggested tags would show up immediately attached to the story, but perhaps where a collated list of suggested tags (which weren't already in use for that story) could be presented to the author or a prescribed group to approve or turn down?

    It just seems like it might be one way to get the archives tagged and up to date quickly. Many eyeballs, and all that...?

  • Tags have to be manually added by going in and editing the data on every story individually. So yes, we are aware that many stories have no tags at all at this moment. We are working on it as time allows... once we are actually 'finished' putting the default tags in, we will certainly be willing to include additional tags from recommendations... but keep in mind, the more tags on each individual story, the LESS effective tags will be for narrowing down a given hunt for a story. For example... if you want to read the core storyline for Chaka... but we add the Chaka tag to EVERY story Chaka ever even makes a cameo in... the tags aren't going to narrow things down all that much for you.

    But none of that really matters until we actually get the basic couple tags on each story. While we're doing that, by the way, we're also adding data on two new fields for each story - the PoV character name and the In Universe start date. But it does take time to work through things, so it may be a couple months before we get everything updated.

    ----
    Or, more directly responding to your post... its not the eyeballs looking for the stories and needing a list of tags to place on them that is the limiting factor... its the fact that the application of the tags can only be done by authors who have the ability to edit the stories. And most of the authors are busy authoring. :)
