Fan Mission Listing by Type. (Ie. Horror, Mansion, City, Most recommended, etc) WIP

I agree. Tags would be useful, especially multiple tags for different settings and "genre" (for lack of a better word- horror would be one, another one, just an example, would be heist ala Bafford or Assassins, so on and so forth.) An FM like, oh, The Inverted Manse would have the Horror genre (and only that, heh) with Hammerite/Factory/Pagan settings.

You could also have tags for unique characteristics such as a Non-Garrett Player Character (Shadows of Eidolon, A Debt Repaid, Dead of Winter, etc.) or its status as a contest FM.

I have added a contest section listing all the contests and entries, as it seems to be a very popular category atm. I had thought about doing so before, and had a few requests to do so, so... I am afraid it will take me quite a bit longer to add links for them all however for several reasons. I generally tend to keep things to myself, which probably makes me a vague online entity most of the time. I have decided to be human and explain why I seem to have been mostly neglecting my list for the last few months.

Without embellishment:
Got laid off my job as tech support due to outsourcing and the economy.
Lost my medical coverage. I am partially disabled and can't get a lot of medications I need, including ones that keep me emotionally stable, ones for ADD, ones for insomnia, and some for various physical ailments as well.
My landlord is providing me with a wonderful holiday scrooge type eviction.
I am going to court over the matter.
I am also packing, and apartment hunting for myself and my cat, because I doubt I will do more than delay my eviction.
I am currently scrambling with odd jobs, plasma donation, doing some commisioned art, and trying to create virtual goods to open a store on Secondlife in an attempt to boost my lack of funds.
I have a modding project in the works for Rollercoaster Tycoon 3.
I am just plain out and out burnt out on Thief atm, because I played missions for a few months updating my list at a rate of 1 every 1-2 days. Some of them were not enjoyable.

So... I am still keeping an eye on what happens here, and what should be added to my list, but I REALLY don't have the time or effort (in that order) to fully update it complete with links just atm. To give a time reference - it took me an hour just to list all the contests and entries with no additional details. Searching links and threads for them would probably take me a few days per contest in some cases, if that's all I did. A few weeks at least if I spent an hour or so a day. I haven't even had time to play Deceptive Perceptions 2 yet - Something I have been anticipating for a few years at least.

In any other circumstances I would be gratified that my list apparently is becoming noticed, used, and appreciated. :/ I am keeping track of what needs to be done with it... I expect most of this RL bullshit to sort itself out by sometime in January, and hope to go back to full time updating it then. I suppose I feel like an explantion is owed because being an active member with a sticky IS a responsibility, just... Anyways, this explanation will either make me a RL person to some of you, and hopefully understand why I am not updating much at present, or it will just make some of you think "O----kay then". Whichever.

Ah man. Well, certainly the priority is you and your cat. Take care, you two, and thanks for an explanation for explanation's sake--grimness aside.:erg:
