Fanfic organization tips?

[asperityq.livejournal.com]

Who's got some good tips on keeping track of all that fic? I'm putting most of it in Calibre what with using that for converting it and making my ebook reader do my bidding, but it's too much trouble for shorter fic.

And then there's the problem of wanting to keep track of fic I didn't like all that much. :/ I don't have any great need to save it, but the rating feature in Calibre's reasonably convenient once I've already gone to the trouble of adding it.

Anyway, I'm sure y'all have some ideas! Do you use Delicious, maybe? And if so, what's the most hassle-free way to do it? Thanks for the help!

I love your prefixing idea for tags -- that should make them much easier to use. I haven't tagged for pairings for that reason -- just too much clutter when they're mixed in with all the other tags.

The thing about saving fic I don't like isn't that I really want access to it again later, it's that I want to remember what I didn't like much so I don't forget and go after more. ;) I'm reluctant to use Delicious for that because who'd want to see a fic you'd written tagged with "this sucked"?

I dunno. The whole thing'll be easier if I can get a system going and stick with it, so I'm collecting things as they come up rather than trying to read fifteen years worth of stories in a given fandom at once.

Delicious has a little ticky box in each entry that says "mark as private." If you check the box, only you can see those bookmarks. It's kind of like flocking a post on LJ--the entry shows up with a little padlock next to it and no one else can see it unless you give them permission.
