I would be willing to help you, babe. Maybe not a whole lot because school keeps me really busy, but I could do a few things. I could also contribute with my Bangel fic and I did write a short Buffy/Dean drabble set in Sunnydale. Would that be acceptable? (crossover and all that)
Absolutely! Anything BtVS-related is totally welcome and actually encouraged considering so many of the crossover choices are much more current than BtVS. :P
Thank you hun! *huggles* I think the most help I'll need is people recommending fanfictions to me that I wouldn't have thought of (considering the probably hundreds and hundreds that I've read over the years...) :P and the getting the author's contact information.
They are online yet (hidden in my hard drive, rather lol), but as soon as Bre sets the fanfiction archive up, I will give them to her. Or maybe I could post them on my LJ? (friends only though)
That would be so amazing! Gah, the response has been awesome so far, I am so giddy!
And I know I mentioned that but I also think that I was being ridiculous and after I open the thing... I will be pulling my hair out... LOL - your help would be SO MUCH APPRECIATED! Thanks for offering hun!! *hugs*
Haha, you've got me all excited now too. I love a good project!
I don't know what kind of archive you're planning on using, if you want something where people can sign up and upload new chapters themselves like this or if you are just going to get them to email you and update the website yourself.
But I would love to write an original PHP/Database script for it. That way it could be customized to work exactly how you want it and the archive wouldn't look exactly like all the others ones that use the same script :)
First... holy moly, Steph, you are going to be my savior because you are much smarter than me. LOL
Second, I would rather do the updates myself instead of letting people upload just so I can keep control of the content - I don't want stuff popping up that shouldn't be there without permission, etc. I think that's where a lot of the "control issues" came from with this lol!
OMFG! You are so amazing! *dies* That would be epic! I'm so completely code illiterate, my friend, I just use the simple things and move on and that was one aspect I had yet to delve into in my brain, especially considering the content and how I would filter it all without spending hours and hours on the computer. But that would be so grand of you to whip something up, you are amazing! *falls to your feet* I adore you for even offering. *love* Do you have ideas?
I can't even explain how much you would be helping me and making this so much easier on me. *hug!*
lol bish! You crazy! "Acceptable?" PSH! But that would be much appreciated. And I know you know lots of fics that we all know so if you think of fics that should be on there... spread your awesome knowledge, bish. Because it's awesome.
Acceptable is a loose term I use, obviously. Like, ugh, I haven't even read them in at least five years, and we should both be happy about that, because if I did, they would be deleted like yesterday's garbage.
And I do know of a shitload of fics. It's like a fucking library up in here with all the fics that I know of. I will mass email you the titles and writers this weekend.
P.S. They are all in PDF format on my Kindle. Just sayin'.
Dude - that is how I feel about ALL OF MY FICS! Hence the immense rewrite that is currently underway (Only Time, Some People Need Saving and Different Roles). Because it all sucks, IMO. You are I... are just so awesome, bish.
WIN! That is okay with me! I want to collect as much as I can get my hands on and while I might complain later about the horrors of what I've gotten myself into, I don't mind right now. I think the next hard step is going to be contacting the authors and seeing if they're okay with the whole archiving thing... Huh. *ponders*

I used to read so much fanfic back when I first got into the show, it's a little sad knowing most of the sites are non exsistant now...
I have 3-4 stories if you wanted them. *hug*

Thank you hun! That would be much appreciated. And it is so sad, I don't want them all to face into non-existence...

I'll get a list together for you this weekend!
(And I know you mentioned you wanted to do the website alone, but if you decide you want some help I would be more than happy!)
