I need help! How do you all keep your fanfics organized? I have a mess of them bookmarked on ao3. Many downloaded in books now. But I find I forget I read some, forget to read some, lose some etc. Any suggestions?

I do love the way you can rate in soft goods — I haven’t used it, but I’ve seen pictures. For mine in books, I have folders for “No Smut,” “SMUT,” “Smutty Smut Smut,” and “Kinkiest of Kinks.” I do wish we could tag in Books.
@babybluebird95.bsky.social just suggested the same thing! I am going to do it! It sounds like something that I will actually follow through with. And that way I might actually remember what I have read! 🤣
Oh, boy! In Books, I have a number of “collections” that I sort mine into, and some go into more than one. The first set is my ratings, then my tropes, then further folders, like ABO, professions (teacher, bakers, books, singer, etc), gender queer, coming out, one shots, faking dating, made me sob.
. . . College, mystery/supernatural, mpreg, etc. I have a lot of folders. 😁 But if I’m trying to recall a fic, but just remember it’s fake dating, it makes it easier to narrow it done and find it.
Lol — I’m a librarian or collector at heart. I started reading fics around the time of the great AO3 shutdown last year, and so I started downloading from the get go. I can’t imagine the task ahead of you!! (But I secretly love doing it)

I even have my own personal fluff, angst and smut ratings! 🤣
