Message-ID: <5913e6f80512011506j5f6ed8dbgb679def72736d1a1@...> Oh, the loveliness that is FictionAlley's brand new, sparkly, shiny, delicious search engine at http://forums.fictionalley.org/fics/search.php ! Ships! Characters! Ratings! Length! House! Genre! Hits! Word count! Spoilers! Upload-date! It's finally all there. Oh, the cleverness and organization that is the Story Management page at http://forums.fictionalley.org/fics/story_management.php - there, registered users (you must be logged in to see it properly) can see all their fics on one page, edit the summary, ships, characters, era, spoiler and rating information, upload new chapters, and yes, upload new fics (in other words, we've reopened to submissions)! Oh, the usefulness of an alphabetical listing of authors that shows all of an author's fics in the same summary (here's the H's for an example: http://www.fictionalley.org/authors/h.html ), and in line with that, oh, the structure and brilliance of an author page that lists all of an author's fics with summary, spoiler, hit, rating, last-update, first-publication date and chapter count information! (Mine is an example - http://www.fictionalley.org/authors/heidi .) SO much love to everyone on Team FictionAlley, from Nostrademons, who dreamed it three years ago, to Paul, Jason, Amber, Sabs, Xander, Jeremie and everyone else who helped with the development of Links, the precursor to this, as well as the building-out of this system, Charles at Dragon.com who makes so much of this possible, and everyone who helped migrate fics, code and process fics, particularly in this last week where we cleared out the in-box, explain the old system (tiresome as that became at times), and especially, every single person who has ever submitted a fic to FictionAlley. We're moving a little slow tonight as everything gets back in gear, and not all ISPs have resolved to our new urls - if your fic is already up there, we'd appreciate it if you waited a day or so before editing the newly-included information - a lot of it has already been incorporated from things like your Keywords - but I am so damned proud to say that FictionAlley has reopened. Come on, check it out - and don't forget to submit your essays to the will-be-live-over-the-next-24-hours http://www.hpinkpot.com "house", and have fun editing our new Wiki at http://www.hpwiki.com . We hope you will enjoy it here on FictionAlley, where CREATIVITY IS MAGIC. From sumanisgreat at ... Sun Dec 11 02:58:17 2005 From: sumanisgreat at ...
