There now exists a working prototype of the Open Words site! It can be found over at congelical.com/openwords and anyone is free to sign up and start using it. Also, along with the forum, there's now an Open Words wiki, which has all kinds of useful stuff (or will eventually) like a "getting started" guide.
Obviously, due to the limitations of what can be done with WordPress and the available plugins, the site doesn't have every feature I might have wanted. But this is a way for me to give people an idea of how the site should work so they can tell me what they like or don't like. This is pretty much it for the practical side of Open Words in terms of my project. The deadline is in two weeks, which will be spent doing the write-up and getting feedback from users. However, this isn't the end of practical stuff completely as Open Words is about more than just making something for my major project.
Thanks for reading and please feel free to sign up and use the site!

Open Words began as my final project for my MA. It is intended to be a website where people can share their creative writing work. The idea behind the site is that it will provide tools that will enable an in-depth discussion of the work shared, as well as promoting openness and community.
This blog will chronicle the development of the website and provides a place where anyone can provide feedback on what I'm doing. In this way, it adheres to the principles of openness and collaboration that I wish to use in the final site/community.
