More updates from ff.n -- more reasonable this time.

November 24th, 2005 -- Happy Thanksgiving! More features added.
Status: A new status/progress property has been added to each story with the following selectable values: In-Progress (default), and Complete. Please login to update your stories. This will help readers find completed entries and allow authors to differentiate their completed works from incomplete ones.


World: Lord of the Rings category is now a test-bed for new story property called "world". LOTR currently has 3 selectable worlds: book, movie, and alternate. In the case with LOTR, the movie can be vastly different from the book and the stories reflect that discourse. This new property is designed to allow writers/readers of these different but similar worlds to coexist peacefully and separately within a single category. If successful, we will expand its usage to other mega-categories. LOTR story authors should login to make sure every entry has the proper world label.

Thanks ; )

I kind of like the "world" designation, now that I've figured it out. And it was a kick seeing my ancient postings on the front page of a search, just because I made the edits early!

A newer, gentler ff.net? Whoa!

This is cool! Thanks for the heads-up!

I don't know how much gentler, but I do like these two changes.
