Subject: Other Parodies By This Author?
Written By: Mistress Leola on 07/01/05 at 9:27 am
Am I imagining it, or did there once upon a time used to be an "other parodies by this author" link on each parody page?
Not that it's a terrible burden to click the link to the author index, find the author and click the link... but if it's an easy feature to implement, I think it would be cool...

It used to be there...if you clicked on the author's name at the top I believe it linked. Maybe it went away once the search links began to have problems?

Ah... well, not a huge deal, as I said.
I was almost more concerned with just resolving whether or not I'd been imagining it...

it did exist. But since it was using the search engine, and was a regular link, it would cause the search engine to run like mad when a search engine indexed the site. I was thinking of putting a hard coded link to the author's page if they had 10 or more parodies, but haven't had the time to do it (not to mention that it's a little unfair to the newer authors).

As one of the newer authors who's only just earned an author page, I don't think it's unfair. It's something to strive for; an incentive.
My £0.02, anyway.

One of the downsides though, is that the first ten parodies wouldn't have the link until I regenerate the entire parody archive. I also fear people who are new to the site, submitting a ton of crap just to hit that 10 parody mark. Though I guess some people submit crap anyways, so what would be the difference?
It's certainly in my queue of things to do.

Well, I'm sure some free time will open up to take care of it... just as soon as the little one's off to college! ;D

Chucky, that is awesome! You da man! Clicking the author name links to all of their parodies.
