Re: Re: Narrow genre listings by sub-type
by A Non-Existent User
Hi SM!

We see the lists of other genres at the bottom of the genres lists, and we think that's a good idea! Thanks for doing that! We were thinking more about having a menu on each genre page that would allow us to sort the genre by type, though. For example, if we wanted to see only horror short stories, we could go the the horror genre, select "short story" from a list, and then everything but the short stories will be eliminated from view.

In other words, we're talking about the same kind of menu that can be found at the top of the "Static Items" list or "Newbie Works" list. Here's what you see when you click on the "Static Items" list:

Currently Viewing >>> Static Items : All Sub-Types
Narrow Listings By Specific Sub-Type: Article, Bulletin, Column, Critique, Documentary, Draft, Editorial, Essay, Fiction, Interview, Letter/Memo, Lyrics, Monologue, Non-fiction, Novel, Novella, Outline, Poetry, Prose, Script/Play, Serial, Short Story, Thesis, Other


That's what we would love to see at the top of every genre list, if that's possible! *Smile*

We understand that we can narrow the options using the Power Search and selecting "genre" and "type," but we don't think that some people here, especially newcomers and people who are just reading without signing up, would think to do that. Plus, different types of items would get more exposure if people could see them right away instead of having to hunt through long lists of assorted poems, interactives, polls, stories, novels, etc.

We know that this may or may not be feasible, but we wanted to throw the idea out there anyway. Thank you for considering it! *Smile*
