Glowfic Ebooks

[Kappa]

Moiety is which author a character belongs to. It's a really helpful thing to have noted when you're reading a glowfic, if you're the sort of person who's interested in that kind of information.

Oh, cool!

Is there a nice list of who's done which characters? That would definitely help me to colour-code. And do you know if there are any preferences for who gets what colour? (In both Effulgence and Incandescence)

I found out that I had a weird way of handling splits, which occasionally broke (the splits where a chapter is huge, so I put it into multiple files to speed up loading on some devices). It ended up, occasionally, repeating bits of the last section in another section at the end. That should be fixed now.

On DW, all of my character journals are collected here: http://binary-heat.dreamwidth.org/profile Other authors may have other collections.

[Throne3d]

Oh right! So if it's under the "members" section there, it counts as one of your characters?

I'll try to add that at some point (and the other authors' ones too).

[Alicorn]

My comm is http://belltower.dreamwidth.org/ and all my characters belong to it. (All and only Bells are admins.)

There's definitely an existing canonical mapping of authors to colors, if that's what you're asking?

It is also the same mapping used in story once Glass learns to see moiety. That’s what she means at the latest Bellparty when she goes around talking about how Jokers and Matildas are purple while Bells and Nathan are green, even though she doesn’t know it.

[Throne3d]

Okay, I've added moieties for Alicorn, Kappa and Aestrix to the code. I'm just running it now to generate new epubs.

Edit: Oops - the colours came out a bit... solid. I'll fix that and re-process. Oh, and the splitting went a bit funny, due to how I processed the classes... <.<

Edit2: And the colours still looked kinda ugly. Again, fixed. I'm just uploading the new epubs.

Edit3: And Incandescence is done! (I hope the colours aren't too ugly. I just set the "lum" value to 210 for each of the colours used in the post linked by Lambda. That was useful. Maybe the colours would look better as a coloured border to the user-box instead?

Edit4: Effulgence is done too.

Okay, well, attempting to do the sandbox has been fun.

I think I've got some working code, but there are a couple of weird parts. I couldn't find colours for Adiva, Ajzira, armokGoB, Calima, Ceitfianna, ChristyHotwater, Eva, Liz, Lynette, Unbitwise, or Zack. Also, I had to manually code quite a few characters to their author (and I'm not sure how well I did - I mostly guessed from "Oh, it's Alicorn and [X], and Alicorn's characters are all under the belltower (I hope), so it's [X]). If these could be put into author collections (especially where there are collections available, but characters aren't in them, or where there are many characters), it'd probably be easier to maintain this, but it's not like it matters too much provided nothing changes too much.

In case anyone wants to know the hardcoded moieties:
Adelene has "lurkingkobold" and "of-all-trades"
Adiva has "gothamsheiress"
Aestrix has "poll-the-stars" (I think this was a "pixiethread" or something?)
Ajzira has "lost-in-translation"
AndaisQ has "fortheliving", "quite-enchanted", "andomega", "in-like-a", "hemomancer", "white-ram", "power-in-the", and "strangely-literal"
armokGoB has "armokgob"
Benedict has "unblinkered" and "penitencelost"
Calima has "tenn-ambar-metta"
Ceitfianna (Fi?) has "balancingminds"
ChristyHotwater has "slgemp141"
ErinFlight has "erinflight", "midst-of-threads", "intricate-engineer", "between-worlds", "define-exist", and "probability-of-here"
Eva has "kaolinandbone" and "evesystem"
kuuskytkolme has "can-i-help", "can-i-stay" and "can-i-go"
Link has "meletiti-entelecheiai"
Liz has "sun-guided"
Lynette has "darkeningofthelight" and "princeofsalem"
MarriNikari (Marri?) has "revivificar"
Maggie has "maggie-of-the-owls", "whatamithinking", "iamnotpolaris", "amongstherpeers", and "amongstthewinds"
Nemo has "magnifiedandeducated", "connecticut-yankee", "unprophesied-of-ages", "nemoconsequentiae", "wormcan", and "off-to-be-the-wizard"
Rockeye has "witchwatcher", "rockeye-stonetoe", "sturdycoldsteel", "characterquarry", and "allforthehive"
Unbitwise has "unbitwise", "wind-on-my-face" and "synchrosyntheses"
Zack has "intomystudies"

I'm also using the following communities as "collections" of characters:
Kappa ~ http://binary-heat.dreamwidth.org/profile
Alicorn ~ http://belltower.dreamwidth.org/profile
Aestrix ~ http://aestrices.dreamwidth.org/profile
Anthusiasm ~ http://anthusites.dreamwidth.org/profile
AndaisQ ~ http://andis-angels.dreamwidth.org/profile
MarriNikari ~ http://marriminions.dreamwidth.org/profile
Lambda ~ http://lambda-parentheses.dreamwidth.org/profile
PDV (PlainDealingVillain) ~ http://bettertomorrow.dreamwidth.org/profile

If any of these are incorrect, please notify me so I can fix the moiety in the script. Also, if you know of any preferred colours for the uncoloured writers, please let me know so I can add those. If you notice any colours that are too similar (due to how I modified them), it'd help if you pointed them out, and maybe a suggestion for what would be better...

It's actually quite weird to follow some of the links when they refer to just certain threads of an entry, but I think I've made the script handle that properly and replicate the applicable part into the epub. Full copies of the entries aren't available, I'm afraid, since that would involve duplication or lots of rewriting so that I can link to sections of chapters before they've been posted. Links within the epub (excluding the ToC, which will work) won't point to the right part of the epub, but will probably link to the online website. Images should work and be embedded, provided they've been put into the body of a comment or entry as an image tag (and not as a link).

Unfortunately the code seems to have problems downloading entries that are marked "discretion advised" - I've tried to get around it, and I won't be sure if I've succeeded until I look at the generated file, but yeah. This applies to Aegis & Charles (with Fi), and probably others.

Here's the code:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/143vl8l815hyh ... x.zip?dl=0

I'm just generating the epub, then I'll upload it and share a link here. I'm not sure how often I'll update it (I'll try to do it quite often), but it should at least be a copy of the sandbox at this stage (using this page as the table of contents from which it retrieves posts - currently ignoring any "many worlds" forum links; they'll be added later). I've also got to make it carry across the bolding that represents "has concluded". Yeah. Basically, this will be a preliminary, hopefully-works-decently version.

Edit: Uploaded! Here it is: https://www.dropbox.com/s/mq6jl58t7ii5u ... .epub?dl=0
