Works search

The filter matches works whose title contains the text you type (case-insensitive) — it doesn't have to match from the start or in full.

Start typing a name or username in the field below and pick it from the dropdown — it becomes a tag above the field. You can pick several authors: works by any of them will be shown (an "or" match). To remove an author, click the × on their tag.

Check one or more languages to see works written in any of the selected languages (an "or" match). Leaving none checked applies no language filter.

A fandom is the community of fans built around a particular work, show, game, or media franchise (for example, “Harry Potter” or the Marvel universe) that fanfiction gets written for. Every work on the site belongs to one or more fandoms.

Start typing a fandom's name in the field below — pick the one you want from the dropdown, and it becomes a tag above the field; you can add as many fandoms as you like. You can also pick a whole universe (for example, Marvel) from the list — that adds every fandom in that universe to the filter at once. To remove a tag, click the × on it.

A pairing is a fixed romantic and/or sexual couple or group of characters in a work (for example, “Hermione/Ron”). A pairing is always made up of specific characters from a particular fandom.

First pick a fandom in the Fandoms section above — that shows the characters from that fandom. Then, in the field below, add the characters that make up the pairing one by one and click Confirm: if that pairing already exists among the site's works, it appears as a tag above the field. To remove a tag, click the × on it.

First pick a fandom in the Fandoms section above — that shows its characters. Then start typing a name and choose a character from the list: it appears as a tag above the field. The search finds not only works where the character is added directly, but also every work with a pairing the character is part of. To remove a tag, click the × on it.

The work is still being written, and new chapters may keep appearing

The work is fully finished, and the author isn't planning to add new chapters

1 author sheet = 40,000 characters including spaces

An unfinished work can have a planned size — it is then used in search and on the card until the work is completed.

Works with any of these fandoms or pairings are not shown. A pairing is excluded in any order of its characters; its characters come from the fandoms picked under "Fandoms".

Start typing a tag name or any of its synonyms in the field below and pick an option from the list — it becomes a chip above the field, and a fresh field appears below it for the next one. The search matches any part of a word and ignores case; synonyms are shown in the interface language. When a tag is found through a synonym, the synonym is shown next to the name, with the tag’s category in brackets. The list shows at most 50 matches, so refine your query for less common tags. You can pick several tags: works that have at least one of them are shown (“or” logic). To remove a tag, click the cross on its chip.

Genres are grouped into broad categories (for example, “Fantasy”, “Science Fiction”, “Detective, Thriller & Action”), each split into several subgenres. A work can have several genres and subgenres from different groups at once — they aren't mutually exclusive.

Check the genres and/or subgenres you want in the list below — the filter will show works tagged with at least one of them. Subgenres are shown indented right under their group.

For fanfiction, genre isn't required — the author can add it if they want, but it isn't mandatory, so not every fanfic is tagged with a genre; this filter will only show works that already have one.
