    Maybe he should post his story in a big jpg file so you can't copy and paste.

    Do you have it so that slash only comes up when the box is toggled? Do try at least to have a system where story are properly labeled, IE. all of the stories on FF.net that are slash but not marked properly or saying that it is like a Harry/Tonks when it is merely a cover to smuggle in H/G ships into the unsuspecting masses :rrou: :evil:.

    No, it'll be clearly labeled AND have a dropdwon to either search for just normal, just slash, or both.

    Naw screw him, it takes all of how many seconds to cntrl-a, cntrl-c, open new file, cntrl-v. Screw the retard, it's something that'd be totally impossible for anyone who wanted to take it, to prevent them from getting it. Posting a pic image of the chapter would be senseless as well, my old scanner, even back in the day, had text recognition for picture files, it'd take my pic and slap it in a .wps file exactly word for word.


    It'd be a fun feature for those of us who read on the go, and it'd be one cool feature ff.useless doesn't have.

    It won't be really fast, but it will come, then I'll make all of you ruthlessly beta the site for a week or two, then unveil it and send FF.Net crowds flocking to its ease of use, semantics, and eye-candy.

    Status report:
    Read story page works except for the javascript to increase font size and change font preference...tried stealing from ff.net, but their JS is so convoluted and disgusting that I gave that up.

    Also I might release the site under the CC (Creative Commons) license, though the stories themselves would be a choice for the author, full copyright or creative commons, or maybe thats just too complicated. Either way, the site will be 0 tolerance for plagerism.

    I'll post a screenshot of the read page in a few.

    I just wish we could rule out the slash pairings, there's never been one that I've even glanced at thats been close to decent.

    Can't though to be fair and draw more in, but bleh.

    Looks better up close...anyways the design is all Zev (minor tweaks by me) I'm just the backend, as well as writing a few minor things.

    I like it. I'm really looking forward to when it is released, ff.net sucks so it will be good to have a decent alternative.

    Do you have the thing where you can choose the text size? And the site looks freakin awsome. Bye Bye FF.N.

    i think a way to respond to reviews OUTSIDE of the chapters would be great, like maybe one of those tag-board thingers could be stuck on the author's profile...is that possible?
