Occasionally I wend my way to Teaspoon and stare at the (currently) 917 pages of Tenth Doctor fanfic there. I don't mean read, I mean stare. At the layout. While pondering how the navigation could be designed in such a way as to not generate 917 HTML links per retrieved page. XD;; Not complaining as it doesn't ruin my life or anything, just... boggling.

(The categories/filters, too, which are comprehensive yet oddly... rigid?... idk I feel like the conceptual divides they imply are not actually how ppl write fanfiction about Doctor Who, though they might be how Doctor Who as a series is constructed, or even how ppl talk about it most of the time. But fanfiction exists to smear Doyleist chalk lines does it not. If ever a series ought to be all user-defined tag clouds, all the time, this is surely it. THE SEMANTICS OF ARCHIVE INTERFACE DESIGN, A FASCINATING TOPIC

Here is what I would like, I have decided:

* a separate del.icio.us account where I can tag the fic I read (almost an experiment, as it is I don't even know what it is I read)
* some way of getting said del.icio.us to post a digest to DW every [x] days

Thoughts on how to connect the tubes?

This might work?

This comm may also help.

The lj_dev link looks a nightmare, tbh. XD; There's this but idk how it plays with LJ/DW.

The obviously workaround is to make del.icio.us post to a dedicated Twitter and then LoudTwitter that, but it's so... workaround-y.

I do see people using some kind of script, though, so I think it is possible w/o using Twitter, though?

Isn't there also this, though?

Yeah, that was my other link. I don't know how to get that to play with LJ/DW.

Whoops... Looking into it, I don't think it's compatible with LJ/DW for some reason, and thus the php script they're using.

Alternatively I suppose you could make it work with a WP blog or something and then import the feed/crosspost?

Anyway, I asked on my DW, so maybe someone can help.

Someone replied to my post talking about Diigo, which can push links to both Delicious and LJ.

Here's a post talking about it.

This actually seems like it would work really well (with the bonus benefit of being a separate widget that can auto-post to a separate del.icio.us so I don't have to switch out of my "normal" del.icio.us, which I use regularly and purely non-socially XD). Now to spend time setting it up hurrrrrr.
