Having reread the post again, figured I should actually contribute something on topic. One thing I know most people find tedious is cleaning up logs to post stories. It's a pretty tedious task to clean up everything even on the most basic levels (get rid of other OOC chatter from players, systems messsage, etc).
Not sure if it would be borderline against ToS, but a non-realtime tool to use the log files. But I know it probably wouldn't be too hard to right an application that would read in specified logs and do so automated cleaning. Some features would be like:
- Filter only things said/done by certain characters
- Remove all OOC comment (i.e. anything between your typical (( )) )
- Add formatting for quoted text
- Add formatting for whispered text (i.e via tells)
- Some wiki template format to copy and paste for posting
Those would probably be easy to do in regex. I may actually try this myself just for fun actually.
Edited: Just saw Coatleque's comment, and I've found it to be the same where not everything may get dumped so this may not be feasible directly. However, if someone actually copy and pastes their entire chatlog into the application, it's still doable. It's just slightly more manual.
