Abstract

The Covid-19 pandemics have pushed individuals away from having any personal contact with each other, in a long period of isolation. Spending time on relaxing activities such as writing fan fiction help alleviate the negative effects of long isolation. Writer-Deck is a system to read fan and original fiction online which is enriched with a recommender system. Writer-Deck aims to provide users with simple ways to find the most likely fiction for leisure reading, simple navigation to access information on their favourite fiction, the ability to save to the library to read later and notification of a new chapter to be released. In addition, the review and rating functions are available for writers to gauge their writing skills. The usability test on 30 respondents indicated that on average 76.6% of respondents respond positively in terms of navigation, design and layout, features, search and recommendation.
