Hi all, WFG has grown a lot since we opened—far more than I personally expected it to, to be honest—and, as a result, some of our original goals just aren’t proving realistic. Originally, we had set out to review every listing in our database. However, unfortunately, this has proven an enormous demand on our time, [...]
Hi everyone, What you are looking at represents a major upgrade to WFG. The new software brings with it a new look-and-feel, improved navigation by tag, improved search capabilities, and a bookshelves system members can use to track and share what they are reading. We’ve tested everything in a number of browsers on a number [...]
We have just opened a sister site, novelsonline.info, that provides simplified access to all complete and active listed novels (and novel-like listings) on our site.

Mostly, we’ve simplified things. We now have one listing sorted by Editorial Preference, and one sorted by Member Preference. Additionally, we’ve kept [...]
Hi everyone! As you may already have noticed, we now offer forums for all your discussion needs. We are working on a seamless login between the main site and the forums, but, for now, you’ll have to login separately. Just use your regular Web Fiction Guide login and password. In the coming few weeks, we’ll [...]
