Not doing much writing the past week. I'll be lucky to get the next part of "The Devil's Girl" done by the 18th. I'd hoped to get the whole thing done but not enough words want to come out of my head for it.
So, what am I doing?
Getting my fics ready to move to another site.
Last week I spent several days going over every story I have archived here, rearranging them, etc. Right now they are organized by when I posted them - mostly - by year, month, day. (I think my oldest story was posted here back in September/October, 2003). When I'm done it'll be by /story type/story name with a few complicated things in between.
400K+ words? That's a lot of little files. But once I repost them here in that organization it'll be easier to move them elsewhere.
And this weekend... I've been playing with eFiction. Once I strip out the multi-user stuff and rearrange the rest... not sure how much is going to be left. But it's better than starting from scratch and writing my own archive software. Just barely.
Some things in it don't seem to work really well -- like adding stories. Not sure if it is me or the way I have it set up or if it doesn't like my web browser BUT -- I'm finding it easier to manually enter the story chapter info into the database (it uses MySQL) manually using a Mac GUI MySQL management tool.
Hopefully I'll have this all done and ready to move by November. Just to be optimistic.
