Another suggestion:

What about adding a way to take an author's name and have the bot reply with their profile/other names?

I don't know how hard this will be to implement, but I was thinking about this:


    authorffn(Kwan Li)   

Kwan Li has written 6 stories for Harry Potter:

Suggestion noted! This isn't a bad idea. Just have to find ways to deal with edge cases (eg. author has written hundreds of stories and we have to go through multiple pages).

FFN and FP do not paginate stories on their userpage.

tusing commented 9 years ago

That should make it easier.

StuxSoftware commented 9 years ago

Exactly. But we need to limit the amount of fics, reported by the bot.

Psantium commented 9 years ago

Perhaps having the top 10 most reviewed fics of the author?

Currently I think of having this as a "series". So we have a uniform codebase for handling groups of stories.
