I refer to Grey Shadow's comments regarding following the stories he likes if he has problems searching for links why does he not create a folder on his computer and use the download button to save his favorites then he wont have this problem.
So I'd be exchanging the generally good navigation on the site, with this one flaw for having the less good navigation through Windows and having to figure out and implement a further solution for linking between related stories? My MCT folder suggests that this wouldn't be an improvement (someday I really should sit down and just index all the C-Ducer movies together somehow).
Also, it seems like a problem that would affect everyone (particularly trying to follow Bearing Gifts/Found Objects, though any other multi-story series would benefit from more direct navigation).
Anyway, I came by to make a new suggestion/request:
Would it be an idea to have a "completed stories" collection/index/listing? I don't know how much traffic the archives get, but I know I'd browse through a "completed" section more than I try filtering through stories that haven't seen updates recently, whether because they're finished, or just on prolonged hiatus...
