yessss please 👏 stop 👏 compiling 👏 fics
not just for your readers’ sakes but for yours as well! because people search for fics based on tags & other search parameters right? so if you have a bunch of tags for a bunch of unrelated fics all lumped together people won’t even see your fic of their OTP if they excluded a tag that applies to one of your other chapters. Or maybe you rated the compilation as Explicit because some of the fics are but there’s also a g-rated drabble in the mix. This means no one who’s searching for g-rated fics will ever see that one sweet drabble of yours. Or maybe someone is just looking for short fics & set the word count to 5000 or fewer (as I often do) & they’ll never see your story since your whole compilation is well above that. Or maybe someone just checked the box exclude crossovers (as I also often do) & they won’t see any of your fics bc you’ve tagged multiple fandoms.
bottom line is: please post each fic or drabble as a separate work and then use series or collections to link them together. this makes everyone’s lives so much easier & we can all go on happily enjoying our fiction together ✨✨
