To be honest, this feels a bit like the article listing which became a beast to manage and resulted in a lot of users not updating their sections (even though they voluntarily created them) and resulted in admins having to step in. I think it might be simpler just to have people compile a list of their stories on their user page as someone who's looking for a specific story/author is going to either search the author's name or title. I don't know if people would scroll through a list for the person they're looking for or use that option readily.

I think that the author category section is a good middle ground in combination with the writer's workshop for people with less than 10 stories who are looking for exposure. Additionally they can pursue other ways (blogs, commenting on posts where people are looking for something to read, etc.) to get more attention for their works while they're building up their catalogue. If this proposal is going to be enacted, I think it needs a bit more work to be a viable option.
