Topic: genres
Not necessarily a bug, but a request. There really needs to be a genre of romantic-suspense. It is a huge market that is neither purely crime and mystery nor straight romance (or sexmance, as some tend to be.)

As there are probably hundreds of genres and sub-genres out there, it might be simpler to just let the author type in the genre name if it is not one already listed. As many (if not most) stories could be classified under more than one genre, it would also allow for combing genres such as "romantic-suspense." Just a thought. Take care. Vern

Re: genres
I like the way Booksie does it: a main genre dropdown, and then you add a bunch of tags that further define the work. They are not hashtags, but just simple word (or words connected with an underscore). For instance, under Romance you can have 'adventure', ''chase', 'capture', 'Russian_Spies', and so on and so forth. That way, you don't have a lot of items in the dropdown to search through.

Re: genres
Vern has a good suggestion. Tom, we used to be able to do that with word tags on the old site.

There are still tags on this site. We just haven't activated them yet. They will be activated in a bit.

Absolutely no rush, Sol. I know how busy you are working on important items.
