SICK!WILSON NEEDS YOUR HELP :)

[geekygecko.livejournal.com]

We've been maintaining two versions of the Sick!Fics by Diagnoses threads for a couple of months now--one where the diagnoses are listed in alphabetical order, and another where they're grouped by category.

However, updating two different lists takes quite a bit of time, and we're trying to figure out if we're unnecessarily creating a lot of extra work for ourselves.

So, we'd like to get your input.  Which version do you find most helpful, and why?  Or does it depend on whether you're looking for a specific type of fic, just browsing, etc.?

Your responses will help us determine if we want to continue to maintain both lists, or possibly phase one of them out.

Thanks much!


ETA:  We've gotten a couple of very frantic e-mails from people who are worried that we're thinking about getting rid of the spoiler-free alpha order thread.  Fear not, my fellow sick!Wilson addicts!  We're only trying to decide if we need to keep both versions of the Sick!Fics by Diagnosis threads.  Sorry for accidentally causing a minor panic. *hugs*

Update 11-05-08:  We've decided to keep both lists for now.  See follow-up post for additional info.

Well, both diagnosis threads let you know what's in store for poor Wilson, but some people have a definite preference for one over the other.

Personally, I use both versions.  It just depends on what I'm looking for at the moment.  For example, if I want to read some fics where Wilson has some kind of head injury, I'll go to the category thread and browse through all of the listings under "Brain/nervous system."  But if I specifically want to read a story where Wilson has amnesia, it's easier for me to find those on the alpha diagnosis thread.  To each his own, or something like that. ;)

Thanks for answering our little survey!
