estiroseEstiRose's Fanfic Archive. Right now there are two fics up (one is for classic Doctor Who, one is for a Kamen Rider W/Kiva crossover) so a lot of it is bare, but I've been able to get the basic structure together.
Yes, it is deliberately retro.
(I've been sitting on this NeoCities subdomain - I'm a NeoCities supporter - so I might as well use it.)
Jekyll, while I did run into some issues with some CSS styling, has made things a lot easier.
* While a couple of pages have to be set up as HTML, the vast majority are Markdown, which saves me from hand-coding line breaks since Jekyll converts the Markdown for me.
* I've got a template that just automatically sticks the header/navigation on there without me having to cut/paste stuff.
* I've got a second template that will add a simple footer. (Well, it's less a footer than a way of going back to the top of the page on my longer fics.)
* The "What's New" page is built on a blogging template. Eventually I might stick in a plugin that generates an rss feed of sorts (though I don't know how many people would care about an rss feed on a fanfic archive), but there's only two entries right now.
* The "All Fics" page is set up using a feature called "Collections" - there's a lot of moving parts but essentially I've set it up so that it can sort all my fics in order instead of me having to code them all on.
ETA: Got two more fics up before I called it quits for the day - one for Starman (TV), and one for Kamen Rider Hibiki. Site died quickly for a moment because I uploaded the Jekyll raw pages instead of the Jekyll render, but it's now fixed.
