One of my members brought it to my attention that you cant input the character parings, ex;

Char 1 x Char 2

or

Char 3 + Char 4

Any not a classification, but a text input type where users can put something custom.

I'm a little confused -- do you want a new classification for text input only?

Couldn't they just put that in the description field under author notes or summary? In THEORY you could create classification codes of Character x Character but given the bazillion combinations you could create it would be large and unwieldy.

As it stands right now, if you were to go to Browse Category at the top you can choose two characters at the top, it might not all fall under "+" and "x" but it will narrow down the stories to those featuring them and hopefully in the summary and author's notes the author will specify if it's smut or friendship.

For instance if you go to my website for example, Click on Browse
Select Category (which ever one you like although my Miscellaneous is a grab bag and not easy to do, so pick Gundam Wing or something)
Select 2 characters (and for genre pick Shonen-Ai)
If there is a story featuring those two characters a list will appear
If you don't pick a genre it will pull up every fic where I might have listed those characters in my list of characters)

.... huh...

Maybe the solution would be to make sure you have a genre that would fit + and x categories.

As Jenny mentions a class for text input only would be ideal,

But as babaca brings out if having a dropdown the possibilities would be extremely too much.
I was thinking of puting it in the summary or description but there needs to be a box just for that.

I did go to your website and try that, how ever we seem to be stuck at the special class.

Heh. There is a solution for users to input the kind of info you want.

It's called the TAG and TAG CLOUD mod. πŸ˜‰
