    Hi I posted this on the main author feedback sub forum but someone suggested posting here.

    I am wondering if there is a better way to see all stories an author has contributed to?

    I can see a long list of all the chapters they have published and a list of stories I believe they are a 'writer' of, but there can be cases of authors contributing to a story but the story itself doesn't list on their profile under the stories tab.

    This can make it hard to find the 'hidden gem' stories they've contributed and scrolling through many hundred chapters in their chapter tab makes it tricky to mentally just see what stories are out there.
    Also is there any method to sort on the user's profile page (e.g. show most 'liked' chapter)

    I'd be cool with some way to search a user's name and get a list of all stories they contributed a chapter to. I'm not aware of an easy way to do this on CHYOA.

    I actually meant suggesting how that might look like ^^
    Searching? Filtering? ...?

    Apologies, I misunderstood! I guess the easiest way would be have the stories tab expand it's list criteria, or maybe a tick-box on the author page story list that says "Show all stories user has contributed to"

    Just was wondering how i would resolve that issue as I do indeed feel that Paths are not properly represented on the authors page

    To be frank, i think we should just have a fully customisable section, where the author would be able to write whatever he wants, be that links to his paths, a bio or whatever
