A Project for Alternity!

[stormyhearted]

Hello all! Hope you're doing well.

I have two weeks off, thanks to my trip getting cancelled by the present pandemic. (Alas, I work in retail so I can't revoke my vacation request.) I've decided that I'd like to spend some of my time on bringing Alternity back to the web in a semi-interactive format that would evoke the spirit of the story when it was live, watching posts and comments go "live" with each click. It'll take much, much longer than my two weeks off, but I figure it'll be a nice chunk of uninterrupted time to get it started and work out some of the kinks.

But first I want to ask the players: are you okay with this? Is there anyone who'd be okay with me checking in with them periodically, or to ask general questions of?

I've made some edits based on feedback so far!

- I've added an "Ascendio" button that appears when you start scrolling, which takes you back to the top of the page;
- I've added a collapsible element to every comment;
- I've added a brief guide to the "spells" used at the top of the Read section on the main page.

I've also adjusted the timing on Sirius's second post, placing it after his conversation with Harry instead of before. (I figured if Sirius had heard three hours earlier that Harry was in Slytherin, he wouldn't be replying to Harry with an all caps "WHAT?")

From here on out I will probably post longer updates in my DW journal, so that I don't clutter up alt-fen (if anyone wants to follow along- you won't have to worry about weeding through a bunch of other posts because I only use DW for communities). I'll probably save my alt-fen posts for letting people know when a new month has been completed and uploaded.

I've kept forgetting to comment, so thank you for the update. I'm fascinated by how this is going, and it's amazing.

(I do not have commentary yet on the character front, but I bet I will moving into Y3 or Y4.)
