However, I believe the machine is currently a LAMP box, so there's rather more scope for what could be done. Creating a site that lets people upload their own fic should be fairly trivial, and the organisation of it could be flexible as well - using user-defined tags, say, with signed-up members able to add new tags to other people's fic as well. Shouldn't be much more work to add the ability to add pictures as well, even embedding them in the fic.
Ut would have to be database driven, but that shouldn't need to be too large, just store the fic file location and the metadata, and it would need a certain amount of moderation to prevent people tagging others fic unfavourably, but this is a friendly fandom so I wouldn't expect too much trouble with that... get the feeling I thought about this a bit when I was thinking about bringing the old archive back? What stopped me there was that I'd have to re-input *everything* and check the authors were all still OK with being archived, and there was a LOT of stuff there.
I've not done any PHP in an *age* but hey, how hard can it be?
