So it's personal preference. That's fine! I'm just saying it doesn't sound like a widespread enough preference that the archive should feel obligated to give it special recognition, you know?

I'm not working down there in the code, so I didn't realize one "add another checkbox option for new works" implementation would be radically different from another. Either way, the main reason I mentioned crossovers is that that's the one thing where I *have* seen a lot of people request it as a category.

Of course the freeform tagging of "Femslash" (and "Slash", and "Het", and "Gen") is artificially low, because it's been a category from the beginning. Anything marked with the category is functionally the same as having gotten the freeform, and shouldn't be ignored as a measure of user interest.

I am all for more poly-encouraging events! Maybe try to get something going at shareandsharealike, or at least promote it there, and see if polybigbang will talk it up too.
