Fanfiction readers struggle to find and keep track of stories
Fanfiction readers can struggle to find stories matching specific preferences or recover a fic they remember only vaguely. They also ask for easier offline and audio reading, while some authors want better ways to hide or retire their works. These are related gaps in fanfiction discovery and reader-side tools, though the signals do not establish that one feature would solve them all.
For fanfiction readers and authors. Mentioned from Oct 2023 to Aug 2026 on Bluesky, Hacker News and Stack Exchange.
