Hello everyone. As many of you know, I'm always working to try to improve what we have here. In some things, I just don't have the skill to do on my own. I've looked recently into having a custom module designed for the site that plugs into the board. (like how the Blogs work). This system would be for the story archive.
The best way I can describe it is as a cross between Fanfiction.net and our current story archive. It would replace "The Library" and it would replace the current Story Archive.
Users would be able to browse the list like now, but when they clicked the story link, it would either open a different site, or open a story listing of chapters that are hosted here.
Users would also be able to recommend links for the archive directly, filling out a form. The Story Archivist would review these daily and either add or not add the stories based on the recommendation.
The system would have the same general look as the board, allowing members to choose their favorite color skin and having it used on different parts of the site.
As you can imagine, it isn't exactly cheap, but I think it would be well worth if for the site.
Please take the time to fill out the poll and let me know what you think.
