    With all the stuff on already on your roadmap, including those items you listed as additional goodies, there's not much left to be desired. As I said elsewhere, I'd definitely approve of a Beta search service, and a private messaging system.

    One thing, though: I think it would be useful if there some kind of system to state various author policies. E.g. allow remixes, allow podfic reading, allow critique, allow archiving, ... , with the possibility to set default policies on a per author basis but allow different choices per story. And of course being able to filter for certain policies, so that I can find all German NCIS BDSM fics that I'm allowed to create a podfic of. ;-) How exactly one might go about this remains to be discussed.

    Just some smaller things: A preview option for comments would be nice. And wouldn't it make sense to be able to choose a language for an external bookmark, just like you can choose a language for a story?

      wow, i agree with all of this. as someone who frequently writes in fandoms that I don't necessarily live in, i would die for an organized beta search service. also, the policies bit would be grand. it could even encourage the creation of podfic if everyone knew who was cool with it and stuff and podfic is my main squeeze for fic consumption.
