How are stories organized?

Stories are organized by classifications, categories, genres, and warnings. Authors should use all that apply to their story in order to correctly tag it for readers. Here is the list:

Classifications

1. Story Format
• Collection - A collection of Drabbles or OneShots by one author. The collected stories may or may not be related.
• Drabble - A story with a set word limit (usually 100 or 500 words but this may vary). Also known as a 'short-short'.
• Multi-Chapter - A story with more than one chapter, usually posted one chapter at a time.
• OneShot - A story that is posted all at one time and is normally only one chapter long. May also be a 'vignette' (short scene between characters or a character sketch with no other plot).
• OneShot PWP - A one-chapter story that is basically a sex scene between characters ('Porn Without Plot' or 'Plot? What Plot?').
• Poetry - A verse or poem, or collection thereof.
• SongFic - A story that incorporates and/or centers around the lyrics of a song.
2. Universe
• Alternate Reality - A story that uses the characters (with their personalities intact) but not the established facts of the Inuyasha Canon Universe. The setting is usually similar to the series but known events have been significantly altered.
• Alternate Universe - A story that uses the characters (with their personalities intact) but not the setting of the Inuyasha manga/anime. It may take place in another place and/or time period than the Inuyasha series.
