Lawn. Off. Umbrella shake.
Hmm. I need to write back-end support for following people and for importing data from external sources and then I think I'm done with the heavy lifting on the back end. It'll all be miserable web app & browser app work from there on. I dunno, maybe I should take a week off and deep-end on import. Haven't thought about how to do it yet.
I need a data liberation feature but not for launch.
The hard part of the upcoming work is all the pre-created tag taxonomy. I am not sure I should try doing that on my own. What I need to do is recruit a few librarians to write a tagging system for fanfiction.
If you want to know where I stand on the Controversial Issues™ of the day, it is this: no meta. Post that stuff on your blog where it belongs, not on a fic archive. And keep your feels out of the goddamn tags, kid.

What's sad is how clever and funny so many of the of FEELS!-taggers obviously think they are, though at least it warns you away from their actual fic more efficiently than leper bells. Also, I can't wait to see the archive when enough folks decide that animated gifs and webcam reaction shots of their own faces count as "meta."
Seems like a recipe for a headache!
