I have been noticing something about the way FanFicFare attributes tags to stories... more specifically, the way it attributes the "Fanfiction" and "In-progress" tags.

It seems to attribute those tags, indiscriminately, to EVERY story downloaded from some sites.

Now, attributing "Fanfiction" to sites like TTH and Fanfiction.net may be wrong in a few cases, but it is a reasonable assumption. However, sites like Fictionmania and TGstorytime house a lot of non-fanfic, original fiction too, so attributing those tags is NOT a reasonable assumption.

As for the "In-progress" tag, it IS handled correctly in TTH (if the story is tagged as "completed" on the site, the "in-progress" tag is removed), but not in TGstorytime or Fictionmania -- even completed stories (and explicitly tagged as such on the site) are tagged as "In-progress."
