When FFF presents you with the story URLs for a series anthology, it now also shows you the series name and description above the list. TThey're not labeled or anything yet, this is a first cut version.)

I like this. And if it gets expanded with lables “title” and “description” it will be even better/understandable.

If the series has a name, that will be the name of the anthology (after anthology_title_pattern (default:${title} Anthology) is applied). You asked for it, that's what you get.

As I was one of those who asked for adding “Anthology” to the title – I am still happy you added this.

If the series has a description, that will placed in the book comments and then followed by the 'Anthology containing:' text as before. 'New Only' is still applied.

That is a great change. Not every story has a description but it has been a hassle to add it manually in the comment field.



But does in not work with “update anthology”? I had https://archiveofourown.org/series/103976 already as an anthology (still without the description) and it didn´t add the description in the comments using update – not even if I used “update always”.

Series name and description in this case cannot be edited by replace_metadata or include/exclude, etc because they are not story metadata.

As I didn´t use replace metadata on title/series name or description till now I don´t think it will bother me.

Right now I'm mostly interested in your comments on the user-interface aspects of this, and if there's anything obvious I've overlooked. Adding series specific code for more sites will come afterwards. However, please provide concrete examples if there are other sites you think break the series paradigm I've set.

I don´t know how many sites even have a story option. Fanfiction.net and fanfiktion.de don´t as far as I know.

I tried it with some stories from destinysgateway.com
It got the right titles but it´s missing the description. But I think that is because it´s called “summary” on the series-site.

Example http://www.destinysgateway.com/views...hp?seriesid=17 or http://www.destinysgateway.com/views...hp?seriesid=76


Apart from that I only tried with AO3 – where it works.

The only thing till now I can say is to add the labels“series name” and “description” – but as you wrote “this is a first cut version” I think that is already your plan.
