"Topic description"
I know vB has the option of a topic description, which is a second, optional line beneath the topic title. I think this would be useful for posting information such as length, genre, etc, or even just the first few words of the story to explicate its style.
Good idea, yeah?

I like this idea, then underneath the title you can put what genre it is. I find way too many titles with jus genres and length (I've done it before).
I think this is a good idea and warrants some attention.

Indeed it is a good idea.
See Ilan, I knew if you kept trying you'd eventually come up with one.
What is that, 3,000 posts, and 1 good idea? That's not a bad ratio.

Bah! I also came up with the Debate forum idea. But I don't think I was the first.
Now you made me cry. Why must you diminish my accomplishments so?

Bumping this because it's still a good idea.

He actually had closer to 4000 posts. Ouch.
edit: This was my 3000th post though.

Agreed. It's frustrating clicking on what has a good title, but then is a personally uninteresting story.

I PMed Peter ... don't know if anyone had actually done that yet. I also think it's a great idea, and hope he'll find the time to implement it.

It looks like they dug this out of the past! I thought it strange to see Dephere... 
But I would really like that, it'd be a nice feature that I actually see no Negs. to!
