From personal experimentation with Scryer for the same purpose, I believe you can't. The best I can think of is that you can set the 25,000 words minimum and >=2 chapters minimum (assuming you don't want a one-shot) then order your results by increasing number of chapters.

Upside: Lots of fics with a good word:chapter ratio.
Downside: You can't order results by anything else, obviously. Additionally, the bad results still exist, they just won't be visible until many pages in. Also, you'll miss out on fics with lots of words and lots of chapters.

Alternately, you can do sequential searches like so:
S1: 1-5 chapters, 25000 min words (5000 minimum wpc)
S2: 6-10 chapters, 30000 min words (3000 minimum wpc)
S3: 11-15 chapters, 55000 min words (~3700 minimum wpc)
S4: 16-20 chapters, 80000 min words (4000 minimum wpc)

Or something similar. Essentially, by searching in chunks, you can ensure that none of the fics go too far below your desired word count per chapter, while still not excluding anything you want.

Upside: Generally solid word:chapter ratios, most fics you dislike excluded and all fics you like included.
Downside: Time-intensive, requires multiple searches to get lots of results, minimum wpc starts out lower than desired after the initial search and increases asymptotically to the desired amount from there.


There are lots of flaws with both of these methods, but they're probably the best you can do unless you want to write a program to sort through Scryer results for you.

 

To my knowledge, Wordcount pertains to total words in the story and Chapters is the number of chapters in the story; not the amount of words in each chapter.

 

Oh well I tried. I would think however that if you divide the number of chapters by how many words you can usually get a pretty good idea in my experience.

 

Why not an average wpc minimum? Like, the number of words divided by the number of chapters is the average words per chapter, and the algorithm excludes all fics with average wpcs outside the ranges entered by the user? I believe this was the point of the request, and I've certainly wanted to search with this before, because I generally don't read fics with fewer than 3000 words to an average chapter.

 

Using the handy quick-saved search drop down menu doesn't work for me.

Neither does deleting a saved search.

 

That seems to have fixed it! Thanks a bunch for the quick fix.

 

The text that drops down when you click on your username is almost unreadable on the background. See here: http://i.imgur.com/WyaRo03.png

 

It does get highlighted when you move your cursor over the options though, so I wouldn't say it's a huge problem.

 

I really like scryer, I have been using it for probably a year now, and especially like that you can sort by dlp review score.
I however just read worm, and wondered if it would be possible to add worm to the fandom list?

 

I have a feature request for scryer. Would it be possible to have an option to deselect all the fandoms we have chosen in both the fandom and crossover box? It can sometimes be a little annoying having to scroll through the list to find all the ones that are selected.

 

Thank you. Yes, that's primarily on mobile devices where you have to scroll through the whole list to find the marked ones, which can get a llittle annoying.

 

In the searches menu you spelled categories as categorys.

I also noticed some stories have tags already, by which I mean things like "gender-bender" or "slash". Far as I can tell, these are based around the text in the summary. I couldn't figure out a way to interact with them, though.

About those, I was thinking: it might be better to separate the "slash" and "femslash" tags. IIRC the surveys Taure's done show that DLP mostly doesn't read slash yet minds femslash a lot less.

While I'm making suggestions, I'd also appreciate a feature that shows if a fic is in the WbA, maybe including a link.
