So… Radio Userland closing down has me thinking seriously about software to archive my stories.
Choices?
Drupal or eFiction
Drupal is more flexible (though whether it’ll be fully functional on a Yahoo hosted site is debatable)) BUT I’ll have to write my own fan fiction management module. On the other hand, I can use it as a blog also.
And it has some CMS features I want to play with.
eFiction is specialized software. Designed FOR archiving fan fiction. But I’d have to make some modifications for it to do some of what I want.
Or maybe a combination?
Either way — I’m going to change access rules for my stories. What I’m thinking of:
- Reviews will require a login (Possibly OpenID if Drupal. Not sure eFiction supports OpenID)
- Access to unfinished chapters might also require a login.
- Access to any on-line story notes? Definitely require a login.
- Anonymous access to finished story/chapters.
Opinions anyone? (And not on using Yahoo as a hosting site. I know there are cheaper, and etc.
ones out there.)
