What is FanFiction Organizer?

FanFiction Organizer is a Chrome extension that enables users to manage and streamline their fanfiction reading experience on platforms such as FanFiction.net and archiveofourown.org. Users get the ability to 'like' or 'dislike' stories, which color-codes them for easy identification. This tool doesn't stop at stories, users can also indicate their preferences for authors as well, automatically coding their entire work in corresponding colors. FanFiction Organizer also comes with the option to auto-hide disliked stories/authors, thus decluttering users's reading space. To add more fanfiction sites to the tool’s functionality, users can simply tweet at the developer.

It's okay once you figure out how to use it, but it took too long to realize it only works on a "search" and not when you have an actual story already open or from your bookmarks page or anything like, which is...weird.

Only used it for a few days, but it works just fine! One small issue I have with it is that sometimes the options don't appear. For example, if I'm on a writer's profile, there's no options to like or dislike any of their stories. This wouldn't be too much of an issue if there were like/dislike buttons ON the story page itself, but because there aren't, then if I want to rate a story, I have to keep the search page I found it on open. Plus on AO3, it seems like some search pages show options for the first few results, but only the first few. Meaning if you find a story from a writer's profile or a search page on AO3, you might not be able to rate it at all, even if you went back to the page you found it on. I suppose it doesn't matter too much, the format the extension stores its ratings in doesn't seem too complicated, so I could just copy, edit it, and import it again if it really mattered, but it would still be nice for this kind of thing to be fixed. Also, it's really awkward to have to find the button to manage the site data IN the filters menu on FF, and I don't even know where to look for the equivalent button on AO3 yet! It would be much more convenient if we could access this stuff by just clicking the extension icon, but that's not too big of a deal, I suppose. All in all, a great way to make sure you don't read the same story twice, whether you liked it or hated it.

idk if it's just me but for some reason all of my saved data (likes/dislikes) disappear after so many fics are rated? (on ao3 at least...) i read a high volume of fics and tend to bounce from fandom to fandom but i noticed when going back on a fandom i hadn't read since mid august that all my ratings were gone and there were no green OR red marked fics at all. really kinda a bummer. but i do really enjoy the functionality of it so idk. is there like a limit to how many fanfics it saves? could you increase that limit?
