- Setting up yet another wiki and moving pages between them
- Hosting the finished stories somewhere else like AO3
Which would lead to a "which version is canonical" issue. When (not if; it'll happen eventually because humans are fallible) the versions on AO3, the wiki, and this forum don't all match, which one is the "correct" one that people should read?
(Also, AO3 requires login to read stories - a low barrier, but a barrier nonetheless. For people who value their privacy more than they value the stories on that site, it's an Insurmountable Waist-Height Fence)

- Setting $wgNamespaceProtection can prevent writing, but not reading, of a namespace
- Just opening up the wiki and letting people see drafts
Not everyone keeps drafts on the wiki, so either of these would lead to an uneven reading experience.

- Requesting Extension:Lockdown
- Making a stickied post here with all of the stories in a plausible order
Taken together, my preferred option - the wiki already has a template that identifies stories that we could use to add the necessary code to all of the story pages at once. We would need to draw up a list of the page types that we want before requesting the extension, and we might need to explain why we need Extension:Lockdown when we can have Extension:RightFunctions simply by a bureaucrat checking a box in the wiki's extensions list. (Yes, I know they aren't the same.)
