When I first started getting into Drarry fanfiction, I would often take a look at other people's lists of favorites to see what I should read. And most lists are organized by era, theme, trope, or length, or some other common characteristic, which is a great thing when you love 8th year fics for example, and want to read more of them.
But one thing I would notice was how quickly these would go out of date if the poster didn't keep up with maintaining them. And I realized that it would be a lot of work to maintain such lists. So when I eventually thought I had read enough Drarry to make my own lists, I thought that perhaps if I organized them by publication date then it would make it easier to maintain them--I mean, there are only a finite number of fanfics posted in, say, 2011, and there won't ever be any more! So I could make a list of the Best of 2011 and not have to worry about it becoming passé as more fics are published.
Ha!
