Reader review
‡ Reader review ‡
- Is the site attractive?
Very, I really like it. ^_^
- Is the site easy to navigate? (can you get to all the
main sections from every page, or do they rely on the 'back'
button an awful lot?)
Yup yup, it's framed so you can get any where, any time.
- How selective is the archive? (Are you likely to find
a good story?)
[They seem fairly selective. ~light]
- Are they a specialty (ship or genre centric) or general
(only ratings restrictions) archive?
Snape/Harry.
- Is it easy to navigate within multi-chaptered stories?
From what I've seen they just post the whole story as one
chapter (I came to this from randomly hitting stories).

Yeah - Fanfiction By Author and Fanfiction By Title.
- Are the indexes (author, title listings) clearly laid
out?
Yup.
- Are stories appropriately labelled if they require
warnings?
Yup.
- How many pages do you have to search through to get
to the first story?
Fourth page is the story.
- Is it easy to leave feedback?
Yup, author e-mail address.
