Suggestion: Recent Literature on Profiles

Would you use a feature like this?

31 Votes I post literatures and I would use a feature like this.
2 Votes I post literatures but I would not use a feature like this.
8 Votes I don't post literatures but I like to read them and would like this feature.
0 Votes I don't post literatures but I like to read them, but would not like this feature.
4 Votes I don't read or post literatures / I am indifferent to this feature.

I did a quick scour and couldn't find a suggestion like this, so apologies if it's been previously posted!

An idea that just occurred to me as a useful feature would be a Recent Literatures section on character profiles, similar to the Recent Images section, where possibly the last 1-3 literatures featuring that character would be displayed?

A lot of times, when I visit the profiles of unfamiliar characters, I have no idea that they have any linked literature unless the user explicitly notes it on that character's profile, which is annoying because I love to read them! However, because the percentage of characters who have stories posted is so low, it would be irritating to check the Library of every single new character I browse, only to find nothing. The Library link is so small and unobstrusive by default that I often forget it's there, in fact!

Obviously, such a section would probably need to be togglable; not every user would want it displayed, and it would break a lot of custom layouts if not carefully implemented, and of course it needn't appear if a character has no lits.

Whether or not folks chose to use a feature like this, I think it would be a nice option to have!


Alternatively, maybe just something like displaying an optional badge with literature count beside the Library link might be a good and easier indicator?
