Because I have way too many lists for the few folders on here, and because I categorize things compulsively, I have ordered everything (save, of course, private lists) into categories here. The lists on this page are those that either are very important to me or that I cam updating a lot lately, and everything else is in the ongoing or archive folders, but they are all linked from this masterpost.
