What I'd actually like to see FA introduce for features.

Can we get a categorization system for watchers and people we watch? So like:
bitches I throw money at vs bitches I watch for art vs bitches who wanna be my bitches
Sorting people I watch by artist or art whore would be amazing as well. Give artists a TOS listing page they can fill out, things they will and won't draw, and let us sort by that. Let us search artists by price too if they're willing to slap that down as well (obviously those things change based on character, I know mine gets upcharged from time to time, but a baseline would be interesting to search by).
How about a system for sorting journals by category? Maybe there could be a typing list we could search by for journals, so let's say I want <Feral, NSFW, commission>, then search all journals by that, maybe I could search users that I'm not watching as well for that. Maybe let us sort by commission openings and by what they are willing to draw as well. It'd be amazing if I could get an idea for a commission, hit a few buttons and suddenly find every artist on FA that's willing to draw Feral NSFW art that's currently open, and then I could figure out who I want from there. Maybe having a function to check by recent commission openings as well if I want to check out other artists and maybe wait and see when their queue usually reopens or something similar to that. Also, a search category for streamed art could be useful too, I'm 50/50 on whether or not I like to watch art streams, sometimes it stresses me out because it tends to go by quicker and I miss details, but some people may like the streamlined process more and being able to watch stuff being drawn on the fly.

I started to uncover this massive trove of art and artists that I've never seen before, or artists that are no longer active but still have their profile open so people can find and see their art, by going to an artists page that I like and hinting through their favorites, and I'll find new art at the begginning of their favs list. Then I'll jump into those users favs, and search through the early stuff, find new people, etc etc etc. It's an exhausting process and by no means conclusive. There are some great artistic, non-kink works of art on here that I will never find because only a handful of people favorited it, it has no tags, and it's more than a year old. Do those piece deserve to never see the light of day?
