There have been several threads on the topic of long, chaptered stories dominating the top lists / Halls of Fame for various categories on the site. While I agreed it was ridiculous, I did not think there was anything to be done about it. However, it occurred to me that there is a fairly simple solution:
The site could move all stories with more than three chapters into Novels / Novellas.
This gives authors the opportunity to add a sequel when readers request it, and even a third chapter before subsequent chapters would be "bounced" into Novels / Novellas. That category could then be the place for all those lengthy chaptered stories to compete for a single Hall of Fame, while clearing the way for other categories to display more representative works.
What do you think?
