Advice needed

[paraka]

Updating two days in a row, let all try not to expire from shock :P

Is there anyone on my flist who's a Numb3rs fan? I've noticed that there seems to be a sad lack of a fic archive, so I've been working with a friend on setting one up. But, I totally suck at names. Does anyone have some suggestions?

Also, to my flist in general, what kind of archives do you prefer. I've used eFiction in the past and it works pretty well for me, but the girl I'm working on this with, likes coding archives herself using html.

I personally like the automated kind. Less work, for both the mod, and the readers, since there are a lot of nice features with eFiction. But this friend has been making a good case for html.

So as a fic reader which do you prefer?

I know I'm a big Numb3rs fan. I haven't read much fiction except what I get from communities (and even some of those I pass over) simply because RL has been so hectic. A name doesn't come immediately to mind, but I'll think a little on it.

As for the archive, unfortunately, I just read the fic; I usually don't pay much attention to what the mods use to archive it...I'm usually just glad to find an archive at all. But, if you can give me a couple of examples, I might be able to help you. I can also tell you that my favourite archive, at the moment, as far as layout goes is probably www.ralst.com. It's multi-fandom, but even if you broke things up by pairing or what-have-you, it could work. Does that help?

Ahh real life, must you get in the way of fandom?

What do you think of fi3ldwork.com?

As for examples of eFiction, here's the official demo: http://www.efiction.org/efiction/

And some others:

Or not. I show up for class, and other than the teacher, I'm the only one there... Class canceled. :)

Here are some more examples (there are a bazillion out there, these are just some of the cool ones):

I've never been to ralst.com before, but I'm pretty sure it's not eFiction, it looks to be html. Nice though.

Thanks for the imput!
