Requests Summary Sorting

[(Anonymous)]

What is everyone's method for sorting through the 300+ pages of requests? Do you sort by requester and look at every single page, or by fandom, etc...?

I c&p fandoms I know from the sign-up summary (because that's easier to sort through/browse) into a textdoc/spreadsheet. Then I'll search for them on the app/spreadsheet and see if the requests are for the characters I like. If I do, I click the letter and read it. If it's good, I bookmark it.

I wish AO3 would introduce an alphabet index along the top :(

Too much like a useful feature. AO3 would never.

/pours one out for Primary and Secondary ship/character fields

I don't want primary/secondary ships, but I'd like for bookmark and gift sorting to be like works sorting.

I'd give my nonexistent horse for primary/secondary pairing fields in AO3

I'm just using the app, it's easy peasy

☑️ fandoms with prompts ☑️ bookmarked fandoms

Wait! How did I not know this was a thing? That's ten times easier and now I feel stupid for wasting an hour on the summary.

Was this a feature of the app last year I just forgot?

:D It definitely was a feature! It's possible that in last year's app you just missed the "get prompts" button if you were just quickly scanning the letters column.

I bookmarked every fandom I'm interested in in the app early on. Then I went back and deleted the ones without prompts.
