Auto archiving - would that mean like bfa or fanfiction.net or something?

BFA--I'd use the open source auto-archiver. It's just an option, one I'm not even certain on as it would require the addition of a cgi bin to our subdomain, and I don't know if we get that. But. Technobabble aside, it's a possibility.

(all together, now)

HI, SNACKY!

Now, I want to make sure everyone knows that I love all the fic posted in here. I really do. Everyone is so creative and does the voices so well, and fixes things the way they *should* be....

That said in a heartfelt manner.

I am Victor's ficbitch. I can't help it. I love his stuff. I'm aware he may not even want this attention. I shall continue to worship him and his works (not-so)quietly from afar.

That is all.

For something like that, eFiction is a better option.

I'd like by author, multi-fandom, and could there be original things too?

Also, anyone want to give an old story a beta pass for me? I started editing, but it has become a rewrite, buffy/wes, not quite finished but in the next half hour or so.

Um, not that Giles actually speaks to me in my head. You know what I mean.

Heh. Sometimes Giles tells me to do things. Sometimes bad things.

Blushing now. Seriously, though, this has been more fun than I thought it would be, but it's got me itching to get back to my novel.

But do we want the fiction to be Jossverse/Spike-centralized? Or should it be author-centralized, and therefore open to all the fandoms we've been writing in? Would you prefer to have an auto-archive, so that you could update stories at your leisure.

Since most of what I write is crossoverish, I would vote multi-fandom and author-centralized. I think this is the first I've heard of (or noticed) the spikesbitch site. Would yrs truly be able to archive stuff there?

Edit: I'd also vote for auto-archiving.

Auto-archiving is a good idea, but do we want to consider keeping it so that only we can archive?

Also -- for any auto-system, please make sure you run the tech reqs by me before we get too deep into discussion, so we can make sure we meet them.

Oh, right, sorry, I thought that was implied. If we were to do auto archiving (which to be honest would save me a lot of work) it would be hidden, only accessible to those who actually post in Bitchfic.

yup. I'm just getting a feel for the mo.

Hmm ... how does one regulate that? Because hidden != protected, and protected's safer.

Well, offhand, just not posting the link publicly. Or doing something like sequestering the upload posting interface behind a pass-protected directory, similar to what shrift does with that-which-does-not-exist.
