Current
My fan fiction is a static version of my old Radio Userland setup. (Or it will be once I finish moving it over.)
Archive Plans
Need to figure out how to arrange my fics when moving them over from my old site. (This is for a single user archive, not something multi-user)
Simplicity is the key here.
Random thoughts and notes as I proceed. Just spewing thoughts… :
Archive requirements
Stories should be organized into categories. (Most archiving software and CMS’s have categories and tags. Not sure of the technical difference) – different levels/priorities.
Minimum -
- Based on fandom (BtVS,Stargate, etc)
- Characters (Buffy, Faith, Giles, Dawn, Sam Carter, Janet Frasier, Hermione, Harry Potter, etc.)
- Character pairing (Buffy/Willow, Harry/Luna, etc.) and type of pairing (slash, femslash, het, gen, etc)
- Fic length – drabble (100 words), ficlet (100-1000 words?), short story (1K+ words in a single part.), multi-chapter fic, multi-storie series.
- Status/grouping – completed, in-progress, ideas (mostly snippets), future fics (planned for future – might be parts completed), experiments (good, bad, ugly)
- Some kind of rating system (require login or have a warning for certain levels/ratings?)
Page design:
Each fic will have a header (disclaimer, smmary, etc.), header optional for each chapter or book in a multipart fic. (standard template of some sort)
Footer for each fic page
Notes for each fic/chapter
Reviews/comments for each part? Login required? Or just WP comment approval process?
Login required to view unfinished parts of a fic?
A multipart fic would have a TOC – divided into Book – Chapter sections
A multi-fic series would have multiple stories in its TOC.
Other:
I don’t want a full fledged search system — unless it’s built on top of the CMS (Wordpress) so I don’t have to do a lot of work.
Need some kind of security design for access to individual story parts.
Need to get SOMETHING in place by Christmas. Basic archive?
A Wordpress plugin or ? Might cover the things I want security wise.
