Yes. I love Drupal. I work at a university and recommended that we use Drupal for our college. (Each of the units maintains their own web presence, which I think is nutty, but that's not my decision.) Our implementation has gone quite well, despite rather a large number of "feature requests" that keep popping up. Usually I can find a published module to meet our needs. Occasionally I tweak the code a bit or ask for an enhancement from one of the many Drupal developers.
I'd been considering the idea of a sort of web-based bookstore for a while now, where one could choose which review to buy a book based on, and that reviewer would get the "referral" credit from whichever of the major online stores the customer chose to buy it from. Authors could also write a blurb for their own books so you could buy a book directly from the author. This would be a way to provide a revenue stream from used book sales directly to authors, as well as making it worthwhile to people to write good reviews. I had some more complex ideas about recommending content based on previous purchases or other content ratings, as well, some of which Amazon has since implemented (I've been thinking about this for years).
I started thinking about this again recently when I started working heavily with Drupal, because I think I could set up all the features I was thinking of in Drupal. But I really don't, as I said, have time to start another project right now. I've already got a full time job, family, doctoral studies, and a game design sideline. If I had time for another project, I'd return to writing fiction.
I love chatting about it, though.
