Let's Tour MotK Fanworks Listing - Now Complete! Second post: Library Catalogue
Alfred F. Jones:
Introduction courtesy of Stein.
Chaos.
As ever, discord courses through the land as structures build up long ago feel the ever gnawing tooth of time.
Bridges fall.
Cities disappear.
Civilizations become more extinct than the bloody Dodo bird.
But, as long as there are warriors or order, be they of good or evil alignment, there is hope.
Hear ye, hear ye!
All you who wander these lands lost without hope of finding your path, the call is being sounded for you to take up your ink imbued sword and aid us in the reconstruction and reinforcing of the grand library's fanfic listings.
The grand scribes Sakana and Ruro ask for volunteers, old and new, up to ten men or women, young or old, strong of mind, willing of hand, and joyous of heart, to aid in cleaning up a mess most uncouth of this grand establishment.
Aid us in filing the new stories that have not yet been sorted into the system, so that future generations may understand what the flying monkey fluffs each person put down on paper.
Hear ye, hear ye, ye who would aid. Leave your message here, or leave the grand scribes Sakana and Ruro a personal message, and allow their minds to be freed from at least an ounce of the stress that causes them so much pain that they become beings of undeath if exposed to it too long. Aid us, one, aid us all!
The work will be thus, that you will be send a list of literary works to read, and briefly summarize and categorize, so that it may be in line with preestablished norms and standards, as outlined below.

Alternate, less purple prose-y version:
We're just going to update our grand old catalogue of stories here in Patchouli's Scarlet Library, and while we do have some devoted librarians, they just can't do it alone.
So we're asking anyone who would like to pitch in to sign up and give us a hand. We are hoping for a few volunteers, but no more than ten, since that makes work distribution unwieldy and gives Sakana headaches.
So for those who would like to help, please post here. After we get ourselves more organized, the work that needs to be done will get organized into preliminary lists and sent to the volunteers, who will then send back summaries in the style of the current listing. Check that link to see how the summaries work in practice.
Currently we have as main genres Action, Adventure, Drama (includes Tragedy), Romance, Slice of Life, Comedy, Parody, Crossover, Mystery and Suspense, Poetry, Short Story Collections, and Miscellaneous and Other. Try to use those main genres as the primary genres, if you can.
Thanks for supporting us so far, guys! Please sign up or pass the message on.
Tamer Anode/Cathode:
I offer my services to the Library once more. I will be available as soon as I get home on Monday night.
Von Stein:
My brain needs rest from Umineko and my soul needs rest from its inner demons. Sign me up for this community service if you would. It might just whet my appetite to write again. I am around IRC mostly, so just kick my can there whenever necessary. And here too.
nintendonut888:
Ooh, rest from inner demons and reading? Sounds like fun. Sign me up! o>
Iced Fairy:
Across the winds of time, the faint clash of battle sounds. It echos across the universe.
In a small room a lone figure sits. It is old, older then planets, yet still young compared to some that surround it. It hears the sound and it's eyes open, then narrow. Once again she is called to war. Her sword once again will flash in pursuit of truth. And while she knows that atop the hill of victory there is nothing to be found, she feels an eagerness. For is this not her purpose? It is a story. Perhaps not a strong story, but a story that needs to be told.
And truly her existence is made of stories.
It is time. She closes her book, then rises to her feet, summoning her weapons to her hands. She turns to follow the summons. To face foes old and new.
As she leaves a smile crosses her face.
"I wonder if they're be ice cream after~!" the Iced Fairy muses happily as she wanders towards the lounge.
I'm in.
