Content Directory?

  Maybe it's because I'm on a tablet, or because I can't figure out how to get the tags to work for me, but I'm having trouble tracking down the ToCs of some of the stories I started reading on the original site. I used to find them through members' profiles, but we don't have that option anymore. =(

  Would it be possible to have a directory of long and short stories somewhere? :) Just something I can bookmark that'll take me right to the ToC I'm looking for. Each ToC would need a minimum of 5 chapter links (or short stories, whichever) to get added to the directory, so the directory isn't cluttered with ToCs that never had content links added. Might even encourage people to stick with their stories? 

  Even a short description about each one, submitted by the ToC author would be extra handy for the casual browser looking for something to read.

  Example:

  (LS) Straag Rod - A priest of Auri-El and his dog Koor track an old, deadly foe
  (LS) A Dance With Daedra - 16-year-old mage catches the attention of Hermeus Mora

  xD it's just an example, Lissette can probably provide a MUCH better short description of Straag Rod, and Exuro of ADwD.

  LS = Long Story

  Maybe even include a content rating?

   

  Let me know what you guys think, just thought I'd offer up an idea. =)

  I noticed you never included my story in your example.......  lol.

  A single discussion with every long and short story ToC added to it provided that the ToC's have chapters attached to?

   

  *Sotek froths at the maw and chases Spotted Fawn around the whole site while he howls and snarls. 

   

  On a serious note, I have been thinking upon this but we don't need to.

  First off, try this.

  Other Groups >>> The Story Corner >>> Blogs.  

  From there, look in   Cagetory TSC : ToC
  

   

  You should see all ToC's which have been posted in the blog section. If teh story isn't there then either the member hasn't set the right group or they have yet to transfer their ToC across to Blogs.

   

  If you can't find the story you are looking for we'll try soemthing else.

  Tthanks for the help! Took me a bit but I finally found what I was looking for.

   

  *YELPS and runs from the frothing Weregonian*

  :P In fairness, I didn't include mine either! xD I didn't want to write a short description of UotW because I only made it to chapter 4 so far, and felt as though I didn't know enough to write a good one!
