Character search issues
Is there a way, when you search for two particular characters, you get results that has only those two characters listed? Like, say, if you search for Character Aye and Character Bee, you get fics whose character section only list Aye and Bee, not fics that have Aye & Bee and also Cee, Dee, and Eey.

The way it is now, even though I search for these two particular characters (Aye & Bee), I still get a lot of fics that include other characters. Some/Most of which are NOT focused on Aye & Bee, like I wanted. Aye & Bee are there only because they happen to appear in the story; when it's really Cee, Dee, and Eey that are the main characters.

This can be quite frustrating when I'm searching for Aye/Bee pairings fics, but keep getting Bee/Cee fics instead, with Aye only existing to be bashed by the Bee/Cee writer/fans. The character search definitely lowers the number of fics I have to search for to find Aye & Bee in, but still.

Also, does the "Suggest a Character" section (part of the "Suggest a Category" section) work? I looked in Pokemon section today and it's missing A LOT of main/major characters, such as May, Drew, Dawn, Paul, etc. It's even odder in that while it's missing major characters, it has minor characters like Nurse Joy; even The Narrator, of all people. This site's been around for years so I wonder why people haven't tried adding more characters, especially with the anime as far as it is now.

But I guess the reasons for this are:
A) No one knows the character suggestion form exists, unless they explore the "Help" section, and even then it's easy to miss.
B) It doesn't work.

I'm betting A to be the most likely answer. Perhaps make the suggest a character form link more obvious somehow?


I think that's it. Thanks for reading, it turned out longer than I thought. Ummm, was the whole Aye/Bee/Cee thing coherent enough? :P
