    * Multi upload should definitely allow ctrl+click on multiple files to upload in one go.

    * It would be great to have subfolders or collections for associated items (ie. pages of a comic book.)

    * My dream? I would love a web-based thumbnail/preview-image making tool (similar to the tool used to make a user icon in gchat), where you can create an automatically-sized, personally-cropped version of the image to use as the thumbnail or preview image. I usually do this manually in photoshop, so if this is too much to ask, it would still be neat to be able to upload a full version of your artwork, as well as a custom thumbnail or preview image to display on your main art page and automatically link to the full version.

    Hope that helps! :)

      Yes on the comic book thing! It would be amazing if you could click through an online fancomic on the archive the way you would click through a .cbr file or a webcomic.

      This is a dumb icon.

      Fourthing the comic option. To my knowledge, that would make the AO3 the only place to feature or have a spot for fancomics, which would be... awesome.

        Paperdemon has pretty good comic functionality and allows fanart, for the record. But I'd love to see that on AO3 too.
