Fanfiction.net... I don't get your filing system for fandoms.

You give Final Fantasy X and X-2 separate sections, even though they take place in the same universe. Final Fantasy I-VI are games with their own separate timelines and universes and should not be clustered together in the same section. This makes finding fanfiction for Final Fantasy VI very hard because aside from the character filter, there is no way to find FFVI fics.

I agree. Like they have two differnt fileing for Transformers. Transformers in Movies and Transformers/Beast Wars. Cause in the Transformers/Beast Wars section you can chose to add a sub section for Movie so why they add a Transformers in the Movie section?

For small fandoms, it's beneficial to have everything in one category. My current fandom is Zorro, and no adaptation has such a big fandom that it would deserve its own category. We all benefit from being together because people are reading and reviewing fics even based on adaptations they haven't seen/read.

However, for bigger fandoms like Final Fantasy, it's really a bother. Maybe the admins have no personal experience with the series and don't know that it's not a very practical move to have so many games in one category.

FF.Net has been known to alter their categories in the past by creating separate categories for Author X's various book series instead of having just one category with the author's name. Unlike it seems, the admins actually do respond to feedback sometimes, so if this is a big problem in the FF fandom, I would suggest giving it a try. Of course, then there would be the problem of sorting all the fics into the right categories, which could end up messy.

Edited for spelling.
