This is a Suggestion that was made with the Feedback System.

This Entry exists for referencing and discussion. If you are the user, who made the request, feel free to write a comment.


You should include a feature that if say you were to write a story titled "Certain Feelings" and later made a Sequel to it called "A Certain Heart" You should have a feature like when your clicking to different chapters, except it bounces you to Sequel's or Prequel's. And have it to where it can display within the story's information properties where it lists the story's title, language, genres, rating and characters that such fiction or story is a Prequel/Sequel of the story. Perhaps also have a feature that recognizes that a new reader has clicked onto a Sequel, but has yet to read the Prequel maybe come up with a small message in case the don't realize it isn't a Sequel. A small message like "This Story is a Sequel of another Story would you like to read the Prequel?" With a "yes" and "no" button... To where if you click yes it sends you to the Prequel's page. And no just closes the message...

I can't do that.

I wish i could :/

The problem is: I can only use the data, that is available on the page.

My whole Script uses only Information that is available on the page the server sends you.

Your Request is good, but i don't have enough information to do that.

The problem is, not all stories mark their prequels or sequels.

There is no standard for that. A few write it like that: "Prequel to my story ..." and some just write a 2 (or II) on the end of their story.

I could check the user profile, if there are stories that are named simmilar, but in the end, i can't do that either.

If i would do that, the loading time of the page would rise by several seconds and the rate of success would be relative low.

If the makers of fanfiction.net / fictionpress.com implements a field, where you can see the last StoryID, then i can do that.
