PK Site 2.0 is coming!
Submitted by irk on Fri, 03/19/2010 - 9:54am
I'm in the process of designing PK's next web incarnation. You can REALLY help by commenting here with requests for features you'd like. If there's something really cool you like on another website, I'll see if we can do it here.
This is anything from navigation to profiles to forum changes to new features to the design of the reading experience itself. Also, request new content features here so I'll know what to keep the new layout flexible to include! Thanks!

Can we have gallery, please??? With pics and stuff, like maybe age? And a two sentence description(that's not spoilery)?
I was, I am, I will be
creating and destroying worlds, master of life and death.
Out of nothing I bring light to victory, the day I drown in darkness, in twilight I resurrect the sun and moon.
I am eternal, the Night.

Something I've seen on other web fiction [some who need it less than others] and which I keep thinking would be uber useful to your tales, given the number of characters you have [and their ever-shifting names of the moment ;)] are links that occur at the end [so as to be less spoilery] of a chapter. Each link is entitled the name of a character who appears in that chapter and leads to a page with all of their previous appearances. Yes, this might be spoilery if it [and this would be easier than trying to only include chapters that occured previously to the link followed] also includes chapters that occur in future of that clicky page's chapter but a] people can be smart enough to not read beyond their date current or slightly more complicatedly b] could possibly just link to an anchor [#example in the URL] of where in the story line they are currently, and thus they'd know not to scroll up into the future.
Apropos of this, I also find it helpful when the author puts the date of publication next to the chapter title, to help remind me where in the story I am. I know that's not to everyone's taste though, and chapter numbers can also help with this situation.
Thanks for listening!

Have you by any chance given the Bookmark function a try? When you're logged in and you click it, it remembers where you are so you can just pick back up from that point.
I am the bridge-jumping friend your parents warned you about.

In 2.0 I'm gonna make the bookmark function much more visible. I don't think most people know about it yet.

I was using the bookmark function to help read from the beginning until I caught up.
The one thing that annoyed me was that I could not bookmark a chapter at the top of the page, but had to scroll down to use the feature.
Something else I'd like to see is the wiki, but I do recall you telling me that you are working on a new version of that.
Just that I'd like to see all the family connections and character tidbits that I'm sure are in there.

We'll be doing a wiki-like thing, but not with wiki software. It'll actually sort/display a lot better, and I'm planning several levels of spoiler protection.
