This is what I think is the best compromise. A new parameter (that currently defaults to off) to add a value you choose to genre when there's more than one category. So you'd add this to personal.ini:
Code:
## Add this to genre if there's more than one category.
add_genre_when_multi_category: Crossover
Give this a try, see what you think. I'd also be interested to know if people think it should be on by default.
Thanks (as always ^^) for your incredibly fast response!
I downloaded the updated one from your later post and it works :-).

As for other sites, on searching for Crossover, I've got a dozen AO3 ones that are already tagged that (not by me), so AO3 already adds this on its own.

I would be fine with it being opt-in, as it could lead to a sudden unexpected change/addition to the genre field people might not like ... (e.g. when updating a story where the summary changed, even so much as an additional letter already throws off the Kindle's notes and bookmarks [hardcoded to byte position], so I for one have disabled all metadata fields except date from updating to prevent the header/splash page changes that would shift my note positions. BTW, does "Update EPUB" only add the new chapters, or does it update the old ones too? Stories like HPMOR with regular changes to earlier chapters are a bit of headache with the Kindle's primitive system of note positioning ...)
