    It doesn't work yet, but yes I have it. Its that + / - thing, but I might also let users change the typeface.

    Yes, I'll be writing a feature so that authors reply to reviews through the site. All that will be allowed in the text is the story and authornotes.

    I don't know if I'll do themes, I'd rather keep it simple, however since just about everything is controlled by CSS, its possible.

    Most of them have already been requested, but some definite place for artistic things. Etc.: graphics, art. I think some place for people to post art they made corresponding to stories posted? That would be very cool. XD

    But I most want the customizable themes, and maybe author profiles. Speaking of author profiles, how are they? What I mean is, can you post a picture on them, etc.? Or are they like the ff.net ones (for people who don't pay)?

    No, the site will be entirely free (and allow people to post images in their profiles...I'll add on art later). The themes won't be hard really, just replace the logo, and change the stylesheet to make the entire thing different.

    Oh, and people will be able to donate, I need to think up some incentive...maybe a little box in the author profile saying that they're "Elite Members" or something. No functionality that the others wouldn't have though. Maybe an email address. No idea really.

    That sounds like a good idea. I'm sure there are a lot of incentives to have for people to donate. You could even have prizes for the people who donate the most, or such.

    What would really be a good idea would be to make it not just a place to review and post stories, but make it into a community.

    Is there any way to have on the authors page, people compliment the author themselves? Such as like on LJ, "testimonials"? And neat little Update blogs or something...so the reviwers could see how far the author is in getting the next chapter done.

    Really, this is all just me being imaginative...you don't have to do any of it. You could not even be able to do any of it. That's ok. XD

    Eventually I can do all of that. Author review's I might do, update blog maybe. They are good ideas, but once the site gets going and gains some members I'll work on adding neat little things such as that.

    A reputation meter below the names of the reviewers!!!

    Check out
    http://allboards.lionhead.com/showthread.php?p=1336395#post1336395

    for an example of what I mean. The little green boxes below a user's name fill up as other posters click a box to add rep to them. You know at a glance if one poster's comments are better off ignored, if they're neutral, or if their opinion most often coincides with many others.

    Be helpful to be able to look at a story's reviews, click filter bullshit rep people, and only get reviews posted by reviewers who won't review with UPDATE BITCH

    A sort of karma system for authors to rate reviewers?

    Anyways, back on topic. What would you all like to see in the way of categories?

    1) FF.Net categories
    2) Theme/Type (ie, Angst/Timetravel)
    3) DLP Library categories
    4) Other (explain)

    Yes, but not all stories have angst. In option two, it shows both the overall general theme (Action/Adv., General, Humor, Parody, Romance, etc.) and then a more specific theme (Dark Arts, Time Travel, Independent, Azkaban, etc.).
