Wordpress plug-in idea

I have been a bit irked by the efiction script I use at InuYasha-Fanfiction.com. The coding is so finicky especially when incorporating a new layout. Since I have been surfing the WordPress plug-ins, and had no success in finding something that I could make a fiction site with WordPress, I thought I might suggest something in their ideas section. I am sure that it can be done using WordPress alone, but for what I want, it has to be in particular. It would be extremely daunting to go into a WordPress site and find the sidebar filled with stories. If a link directory can be created, then I am sure this can be done.

There has to be some brainiac that can harness my ideas. Here is what I suggested:

A plug-in that gives the ability for the admin to allow users to sign up and use the site as an e-fiction site, much like the script from e-fiction.org. The plug-in would allow the admin to choose to display:

1. recent fiction posted (up to how many they want) or a way like recent commenters widget for the sidebar (or both)
2. Page created for categories in fiction
3. Tabulates and gives users, and users online.
4. Functioning profile with avatar.
5. Give users the ability to comment/ review on stories.
5. Stories can be added and chaptered by “Add new chapter” or “Add new story”

So, if they put [wpfiction] on the main page or active sidebar widget, the site could become a fully interactive wordpres fiction site. Just an idea…

Please, even if you do not use my sites for efiction, I really urge you to vote on this fiction script idea for WordPress. I would like to try running an efiction website that uses WordPress.

It may change the face of how we view fiction sites? And it might actually be popular…. *can only dream*

Free Rice?

I was just surfing some sites and came one that said Free Rice. They use a vocab system that for every answer you get correct, they donate 20 grains o rice through the UN World Food Program.

I got up to 4220 grains, and my best level was 59. I was still answering, but I had to stop for now.

I tried it out and it is pretty nifty, especially if you like to check your vocabulary standing. It might take a bit of time, but it is free to do and it is for a good cause.

Bamboo mania

I have recently been enamored by bamboo plants and my boyfriend bought me a couple. It is funny as I call them my babies. I always liked the look of bamboo, especially when watching those Chinese movies where they have sword fight scenes in the middle of a bamboo forest. Mine may never grow to be that tall, but at least I got something that looks nice.

Very cute, huh? I love the little panda on the holder. Yes, I did put my InuYasha movie boxset up there. I had no place to put it… studio apartments like the one I live in have barely and place for knicknacks or just about anything. My closet space is even shamefully tiny.

I have been busy painting the house that I will be renting from my folks in December. It is a two bedroom house with a basement. I am fairly excited as I will not be confined like I am in my current studio apartment. I did my best, but it really was not much. The plus side to moving is that I will be less than two miles from my son, so I will be looking into having him with me more often. It has been hard to be away from him. Angel is ecstatic, as he will get to have a room. We are going to paint it a hot wheels theme.
