Nodoka’s Daughter by James Lee
Length: 4 Chapters, Complete
Sources: Ranma ½, Sailor Moon
Rating: 4/5
Ever wonder what a little amnesia might do to Ranma and Nodoka’s meeting? Well “Nodoka’s Daughter” by James Lee can show you… and it’s complete! It’s also one of those things that you probably wouldn’t have found otherwise. It’s not on Fanfiction.net and the author’s site was/is on anifics.com. (For those who are unaware, the administrator still hasn’t had time to properly restore the hosted sites)

The Other by JoeHundredaire
Length: 9 Chapters, Ongoing
Sources: Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Rating: 3.5/5
Ok, Xander gets a different costume at Ethan Rayne’s shop. That’s fairly cliché. Physical traits linger after the whole thing is done. Also common. Xander discovers that he’s now a girl because the costume was too androgynous for him to notice…? First time I’ve seen that. Admittedly, I don’t read much Buffy fanfiction, but I have it on good authority that this kind of combination is almost unheard of.

Pictures of real jackalopes: Rabbits infected with the Shope papillomavirus
Quite the plausible explanation for the origin of the Jackalope myth, wouldn’t you say?

Just a quick summary of the most expedient way to use MoinMoin as a content management sysyem, as I currently do for www.ssokolow.com. This is primarily about the parts which are less useful for Wikis, so visit the MoinMoin site for things like non-default themes.
# Set these in wikiconfig.py
sitename = u"Your site's name here"
theme_default = 'rightsidebar'
theme_force = True
page_front_page = u"SiteContents"
language_default = 'en'
language_ignore_browser = True
acl_rights_before = u"YourUserName:read,write,delete,revert,admin"
acl_rights_default = u"All:read"
html_head = '<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.png">'
logo_string = u'<img src="/htdocs/your_logo.png" alt="YourSite.com Logo">'
page_footer2 = """Google Analytics Code Here"""
page_credits = ["this sets the",
"credits like 'Valid HTML'", "in the footer"]
navi_bar = [
u'%(page_front_page)s',
u'RecentChanges',
u'FindPage',
u'ContactMe',
u'OtherPageYouWant',
u'AndSoOn',
]
…and then delete pages in the underlay which you don’t need. You can use the WantedPages page to figure out what needs to be edited to no longer refer to them.

I finally got around to switching my main site (www.ssokolow.com) over to a decent web host (the new look still isn’t ready, but I decided to make a little change anyway) and, in the process, I added some ads to pay for it. Nothing annoying and the space wasn’t being used anyway.
However, while I was doing so, I encountered a rather nice bonus. Some of the ads were for really nifty blogs. Here are the links since, last I checked, they’d been outbid by less interesting stuff:
