    EDIT:

    This is a list over authors that are members of DLP, not a list over authors with fics that have been posted in the library.

    That means I'm going to go through the work by author section, and not the rest of the library. If any members have fics in the library, but not in the work by authors section, please IM me with a link.
    ....

    Once again I have an idea to a list: “The DLP Author” list. And since I’m bored, and I like making lists, I’ll make one if it’s in demand (Vash, Raven, Mid?).

    I was thinking of a structure like this (Ideas?):

    Authors are sorted alphabetically:

    -Author- (Link to profile)

    -Story 1

    Chapter 1 (Link to chapter)
    .
    .
    .
    Chapter n (Link to chapter)


    -Story 2 (mature)

    Chapter 1 (Link to chapter)
    .
    .
    .
    Chapter n (Link to chapter)

    And so on

    I know you (mods and admins) have other things to do than keeping this up to date, so I’ll do it and then, about ones a month, send the updated list to an admin.

    One thing makes this list not feasable. The writing user group and then the links to their profile to their FF account.

    While it could be useful, seems like a huge job with little use.

    What I do suggest is to add another entry in our profiles for FicWad accounts and possibly PC account when it's up and running.

    Promote DLP authors to join the writers User group, look through the group and then you'd be sweet.

    I don't think it would be useful to link every chapter. Every story would suffice.

    Hmm. You're are all correct, I'll just wait and see, how many people want this.

    EDIT:

    If the list is wanted, write a sales-tale and I'll put it in the start.

    It would be pretty cool, but it would be a big B-I-T-C-H to keep up with amount of chapters and such. A little bit too much hassle for something like this.

    Yeah, I thought about that, but put it in anyway, because chapters aren't in the same thread, but I'll just drop that.

    I think it's a good idea, but it would be a lot of work to list ever chapter of every story.

    I give my approval, not that it means much!

    That'd be a ton of work...even the biggest list fan would grow tired of making it.

    Uh, I looked at what I called this list, and saw it could be misleading; this is a list over authors that are members of DLP, not a list over authors with fics that have been posted in the library.

    That means I'm going to go through the work by author section, and not the rest of the library. If any members have fics in the library, but not in the work by authors section, please IM me with a link.

    Anyway, if all you DLP'ers would rather have me make a list over authors in the library, and not over DLP authors, say so.

    You beat me too it Raven, and trust me, I doubt I would get tired of it.

    Anyway, if I drop the chapter thing, it should be easier.

    EDIT: Sorry, I double posted.

    No worries, fixed. :p - Sree

    I think a list of the Work by Author section is a great idea. It takes a while to find old chapters, and as someone who prefers to read on DLP's format, I would love a list like that. However, you are going to be the one putting in all the work. You should do the one that you would enjoy doing most.

    I would definitely enjoy making the DLP Author list most, as I've already gone through the library ones, when I made the list over stories in the library.

    Anyway, I agree with you, I for one like reading on DLP format more than on ffn format.

    Wow.. that would be some list. It would be interesting to see who exactly writes and is a DLP member.

    Yes it would, the only problem is that not all DLP authors, have there work in the 'work by author' section.

    Personally I'd like to see more happening with the "writers corner" group but whatever. Members of "The Order of the Black Denarian" get those red custom member titles that make them really stand out but the authors, the core of a fanfic community, have nothing to mark them...

    A general list of authors and links to their FFnet profile, homepage or Y!group (for those that have them), and an email address (if they want to supply it) might be a cool resource to have around. I do have a lot of other author's emails and what not but on those rare occasions I want to track them down I never know where they are.

    I think that it is a nice idea, if a lot of work for you... Hell, no one is going to say "No, I don't have any interest in seeing such a list. DO NOT DO SO"... lol.
    If you're up for it, I say go right ahead...

    You have my blessing if you wish to create this list of stories in Work by Author. :)

    We don't get the user titles because we're members of a group. If you look, the people who have titles are mostly people in IRC, who ask, as a personal favour to get them.

    You're also labled a "Denarii Host" instead of "Unspeakable" or some other rank based on post count. Maybe it's not a function of being a group, but it gives the impression that it is.

    I feel so unloved.
