Suggestion #4:
I did a quick glance around the forums I frequent here, and didn't see it if it is I'm quite sorry in advance! I noticed we have a spot for Fics we like, dislike, and even our own fics, but we didn't have a sticky in place for people to try to find certain fics. It's happened to me as I'm sure it has you. You read a certain fic you're quite taken with, but you reformat your computer, and forgot to save the bookmark list! You get along without it, and even forget about it for a little while, however you begin to wonder about the fic, but alas it's been so long ,and you can't remember the name of it. Desperate searching produces zero results. Frantically you turn to the one place you know you can seek aid the sticky in the General Fanfiction Forums! Or at least you would if such a thing existed. My suggestion is to create a sticky that is expressly for people who are looking for certain fics, and can't remember/find them in the general fanfiction discussion forum. There could be basic rules of formatting required if desired.
Example post:
The genre (Hp/Naruto/whatever else)
Basic idea of the plot you remember
Anything else that could be of use to others who might know the identity of the fic you seek.
I humbly submit this idea for your perusal.
Response: Thanks for the suggestion. Since there was already a "Fic Search" post in the general fan fiction forum, I made it sticky per your request.
Sincerely,
Lindsey Schocke (aka Runsamok)
