After spending so much time on fandom-specific sites with much better search systems (like Twisting the Hellmouth), Fanfiction.net’s search system feels really constricting.
As such, I’ve started to hack together a little userscript to make up for that. As of this writing, it hides slash and stories which involve a list of fandoms I’m not interested in. (So I can formulate searches like “All Harry Potter crossovers except series X, Y, and Z”)
You can find it (and instructions for customizing it screenshots) over on GreasyFork.
Fanfiction.net Unwanted Result Filter
UPDATE: No instructions necessary anymore. It now has a nice configuration GUI.
UPDATE 2: And I now also have another little script for setting custom default values for Fanfiction.net’s own limited result filters system.
