Bring up a discussion in the forums; perhaps when we get more of a community, we can decide on standardized genre labels, and how to apply them to stories, either based off their tags on other sites (like Equestria Daily or FIMFiction) or content (for stories only on Deviantart, as I believe that's the only common fanfic repository to not have genre tags standard). Perhaps we could make a thread (similar to what I believe the ShowToyComparison and PonyComparison threads on the FiM wiki to be; though Tulip has far more experience in both of those, to my knowledge) where we discuss a story, and decide, based on the two things listed above, what genre(s) to tag it under here on this page. Of course, that's assuming you want it to be sortable (which is something I think it should be). If it's not, then it would be a simple matter for me to add an unsortable column to the table to just list what genres it's listed as in its infobox.
