Or whatever they'll get called in the end. I haven't quite decided.
Initially, my idea was that you'd choose a bunch of pieces and then the site would automatically generate a booklet-pdf for you to print off and then... read. I find that when I'm at a computer I have a bunch of stuff to do, so I often don't get down to the reading stuff, but with a printed off booklet you can go off and read, or read whenever you have a bit of spare time or whatever. NEEDLESS TO SAY, THIS IS SOMETHING I WILL USE. So, I imagine others will find it useful also.
However, the setback was that the server doesn't allow me access to the tools I need to setup such a system. Thus, I can only make them on my home computer. However, I can make a bunch of pdfs and upload them. I'm considering a weekly upload of all the pieces since the last booklet. Entire-user booklets would also be good, and I can probably upload everyone's once a month or so. Entire-series booklets are already possible and I have made one out of Sublimininiminiminiminiminiminiminals series South Saint Jude! PICTURES TIME:
In case you're wondering, it was typeset (I believe that's the right word?) in LaTeX! It's the tool of all the typesetting professionals, I am assured, and it certainly looks good for a small lo-fi booklet. It will cover multiple pages, but since most of South Saint Jude doesn't fill up a page, it hasn't in those photos. All of the new chapters are given their own double page spread to start (this explains the blank pages on the left)
PDF attached, you'll want to print it double-sided, I expect? I've not tried it single sided, but you can give that a go if you feel like it
[Edit]
Needless to say, this isn't bug free yet.... there may be problems with certain characters. Let me know if there is. Just re-uploading SSJ's PDF in case of such problems...

[Edit2]
Let's try AGAIN. This time I fixed some line breaking issues and cleaned up the final page, as well as made the freaky Word slanted-speechmarks work. They screw everything up, not even joking. I've also just now got the fancy quotemarks and apostrophes working.
