In preparation for NaNoWriMo I've knocked together a small CMS for serialising fiction. It's firmly in beta (at that stage where basic functionality is there but some of the bells and whistles aren't yet), so if anyone gets the chance to thrash it I'd appreciate some feedback.
RSS feeds aren't ready yet (they're the next thing). It doesn't accept comments, but I don't know if it ever will: I'd rather leave the text alone and those few people (if any) who really want to comment can do so against a post here. The admin interface is a little shabby, but while it's only me contributing that's no odds.
Plus, of course, since it's there as a place for my NaNoWriMo attempt, there's only a set of test entries there at the moment, which will disappear when there's real content there.
I have been churning out an informal story on one of the forums to which I belong, but I'm not entirely sure it'll come here. RSS would be nice, but at the moment it's quite comfortable claiming to be a 'bit of fun' to fill out the fiction board on that forum whereas if I bring it over here it'll be that bit more pretentious.
Update: The basics of navigation are in and feeds work (although I might give them more friendly URLs later). Giving a chapter number that's out of range returns 500 rather than 404 but that should be a quick enough fix when I can be bothered.
Now all I need is for November to start.
Another Update: I forgot to put in the ability to 'hide' draft posts. That now works in all places except when calculating stats.
