## Deskripsyon

PenBinder turns any WordPress site into a home for serialized fiction and web novels,
without renting your audience from a third-party platform.

**Core features:**

 * **Stories and Chapters** as their own content types, with nested, readable URLs(`/
   story/your-story/chapter-one/`)
 * **Distraction-free reading mode** that bypasses your theme’s header, sidebar,
   and footer for a clean, focused reading page
 * An automatic **reading progress bar**, word count, and estimated read time on
   every chapter
 * **Chapter-level bookmarking** for logged-in readers, so a “Continue Reading” 
   button always picks up where they left off
 * **Genres and Status** taxonomies (Ongoing / Completed / On Hiatus) with a filterable
   Stories archive
 * **Characters and Locations** as linkable profile pages — wrap a name in a chapter
   with a shortcode and it becomes a clickable link to their profile. A character
   or location can appear in more than one story, useful for a shared cast or setting
   across a series
 * **Series**, grouping multiple stories together and letting readers browse by 
   canonical (in-universe) order or real-world release date — handy for prequels,
   spin-offs, and books published out of order
 * A unified **Story Dashboard** for managing a story’s chapters (with drag-and-
   drop reordering), characters, and locations from a single screen
 * Native WordPress **comments** on chapters
 * A **Settings page** for reading column width, font size, theme, and toggling 
   distraction-free mode on or off

PenBinder is free and fully functional on its own. A separately-sold PenBinder Pro
add-on exists for drip/scheduled chapter releases, subscriber email notifications,
and EPUB export, but PenBinder does not require it and every feature listed above
works without it.

#### Privacy

PenBinder does not send any data to external servers, does not set its own cookies,
and does not track visitors. Chapter bookmarks are stored as standard WordPress 
user meta for logged-in readers only, and never leave your site’s database.

## Pag-install

 1. Upload the plugin files to `/wp-content/plugins/penbinder`, or install the plugin
    directly through the Plugins screen in wp-admin.
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen.
 3. Permalinks are flushed automatically on activation. If a story or chapter page 
    ever returns a 404, visit Settings > Permalinks and click Save once.
 4. Go to PenBinder > Add New Story to create your first story, then PenBinder > Chapters
    > Add New to add its chapters.

## FAQ

### Do I need PenBinder Pro to use this plugin?

No. PenBinder is complete on its own — Story/Chapter management, Series, Characters,
Locations, the distraction-free reader, and the Story Dashboard are all free. PenBinder
Pro is a separate, optional add-on for drip-scheduled releases, subscriber email
notifications, and EPUB export.

### Can a character or location belong to more than one story?

Yes. Characters and Locations can be linked to any number of Stories, which is useful
for a shared cast or setting across a series or spinoff.

### Can I turn off the distraction-free reading mode?

Yes, under PenBinder > Settings — chapters will then render inside your theme’s 
normal layout instead.

### Does this work with any theme?

The reading page, story page, and archive intentionally bypass the active theme 
for a clean, consistent layout, so yes — it looks the same regardless of the theme
you’re running.
