Favorite Fanfiction by people OTHER THEN Me

Opine | Posted by LD October 28th, 2008

I figured I would take some time and share some links to other peoples fanfictions that other people have written that I loved.

Writing DarkScribes

Techie | Posted by Tom March 11th, 2006

This is Tom here, the guy who wrote the new version of DarkScribes.org currently running at http://beta.darkscribes.org.

Let me tell you, it wasn’t easy. Writing something like this is never easy. Took me about a month and a half of pounding out programming code.

But as you can see, it is working wonderfully. I added a couple of things that I thought would make DS better, like RSS feeds, PDF downloads of the stories, email mailing lists (optional), and more control over comments to reduce spamming (always an issue).

I am not new to PHP programming, I have been doing PHP programming for quite some time, but never have I written something as large and as complex as DS is. Yeah yeah, I know, DS is not really complex, but it is complex enough that it isn’t something that you just slap together and hope it works. You have to plan everything.
