In which you profit from my procrastination
First off, I updated the Fusion Master Post with a list of all the stories in chronological order as well as the order in which they were written, so now people can decide in which order they'd rather read them.
Onto the rest of the post!
Spurred by boredom, procrastination, and an ill-advised half-hour of lurking on the anon meme a day or so ago, I decided to re-vamp my Master List. It was getting overly long anyway, so it was due for an overhaul.
First off, I split it off into two posts. The first post is all SPN, all the time, and SPN RPF/S. The second post contains all my podfic and all the fic from my other fandoms, few as they are right now.
That being said, I'm not sure if I've got this down to a science yet. I still have my fic sorted primarily by length, and while it makes sense to me, I'm not sure it does for anyone else. Also, while my lists currently consist of the title, summary and posting date of the story, I wonder if many readers aren't scanning the list and wondering how the hell they can tell if a fic is gen or slash or het or whatever without clicking and reading the header of the story itself (although 90% of my SPN fic is gen, I just counted while I was working).
In short, who feels like helping me make a better, more user-friendly Master List? I have even made a handy poll for those of you who only want to click and not type. ;)

I thought about this for SPN, then realized 90% of my fic is gen, which makes it impossible.
Alphabetical might be something to consider...

I started with SPN fanfic and tended to ignore most non-Wincest, then I got into the show itself. By the time I'd caught up on all the eps, and also read more fic, I realized that with the best writers it wasn't important whether it was Wincest or gen because either way they captured the emotionally incestuous dynamic from canon. For a while I avoided gen where they explicitly were not lovers, but I later relaxed on that too if the story had something meaningful to say about their being specifically platonic soulmates.
But having said all that -- sometimes I'm in the mood for a story where they are overtly definitely screwing, and not in the mood for anything else. Other times I get curious which pairings someone has done, and the fewer there are the less I want to skim their entire master list to find them.
All just my 2 cents of course.
Alphabetical or by posting date, within each category, makes it more possible to keep some track of which stuff you've gotten to.
