Technical difficulties

So I found out, if you have more than 1,000 pages of a bookshelf, you can't see anything past page 100. <.< Which means I can't do another edition of Project Get until I've read 282 stories off my RIL. D:

Anyone have any suggestions or workarounds?

Other than "two bookshelves", I can't think of anything. It's a limitation in Elastic Search, which fimfic uses for most of its big datasets. The only conceivable workarounds would require a bunch of work in the back end.

Project GET is picking the least viewed stories from your RiL list for a Fic Recs, isn't it? Couldn't you just move the first half of the stories on your RiL list to a second one, and then just look between the bottom of both lists and choose the ten stories that way? It's a bit manual and slow, aye, but it may work.

I split my RiL shelves out - I've got one for series and one for 100k+ word stories, which helps keep them a little more organized.

manual and slow, but that's actually not a bad idea

much as I hate to say it D: I don't need more projects like that right now

Oh, carp...

My method: only have like 14 things on your bookshelf, and nothing you've added since 2013.

[Trick Question]

Well, I'm proper fucked if I ever start using my bookshelves.

My suggestion? Bug Knighty about it.

Create another bookshelf entitled “Best Intentions” and move everything older than 4 years from your RIL into it. In 4 years rename that one “Road to Hell” and create another new “Best Intentions” and move anything older than 4 years in your RIL into it. If the problem occurs again 4 years later, then admit you have an “issue with potentially not adding a story to your RIL shelf because you’re afraid of insulting/disappointing the author that you didn’t read it immediately so at least you added it to RIL.”

[The Hat Man]

If it were me? Go through the list, figure out which stories you genuinely can't see yourself reading or being arsed with, and cut them. Harsh, but we all have RIL library entries that are like that exercise machine we bought and never used. We fully intended to get in shape when we bought it, and we won't get rid of it because "One of these days...!" But we know the truth: that Bowflex ain't getting used, and that story ain't ever gonna get read.
