1) Really? I've never seen it anywhere.  Well if it's already implemented then it just needs to be tidied up, and put somewhere where people can find it.  But I'm looking at Special:Categories and don't see any author names...  except Angel Wings.  And Angel Wings has mainly characters in her category.  Perhaps you mean to say that the userpages have links to stories by the author, and that's not what I'm talking about.  I mean like, actual categories for every user who has submitted stories.

2) I know about Special:ShortPages and Special:LongPages, but I think that, for the wiki users who are not as experienced and don't know about Special:ShortPages and Special:LongPages, actual categories for stories specifically would be useful.

3) Release date would be the one date that the article is first created, or the story is first released. This does not include modifications.  "Release date" refers to the time when it is first released, a "Modification date" would be what you're talking about.  I thought about that myself but I realized exactly what you said, that articles are constantly redone/changed, as is the nature of a wiki.

4) Do you? Ah yes, I see now.  Sorry to have missed that.  However: we still probably have stories that are not categorized by genre.

5) Those aren't really styles, they're types of writing. That's like saying that everyone who writes a play has the same style - it's simply not true.  Yes this category may seem unneeded, but some readers may have a certain type of writing they specifically like to read.  At least in my case, I find dialogue driven stories to be dull and unentertaining.  But if no one else on the wiki has writing style preferences then yes, this categorization system would be unnecessary.

6) On their pages still makes it harder to browse, because then people have to go onto each individual character page and scroll down to the section. All of my suggestions are to make it easier for people to find stories that they're interested in reading, with the current setup that is not really possible.

7) ???

8) Well I didn't find it, so, as with the other categories, things should be made easier to find.

9) Really? I've never seen it.  I see completed, any other categories you guys have?  If not, they should be added.

10) Same as with characters comment.

11) Just trying to clean out clutter...
