Story layout---Opinions Needed Asap! - Comments

I got it! I played around with dark and light backgrounds and I think I came up with one that's dark but not so dark that it hurts your eyes. I think I'll post it this weekend :) Thanks again for your opinions!

Well with any layout I make it's not gonna have those obnoxious neon colors. It'll be more subtle than that. I wanna make it easy to read regardless.

Thanks for your opinions! Keep 'em coming!

Frankly, with my experience I prefer a lighter layout simply because it's easier on my eyes.

I'm immediately turned off with layouts that are black on red, or something like that. I don't think that you should go over the top with super bright colors, just go with something that is a bit more muted and won't distract your readers from the story.

That's just what I like at least.

I have always prefered darker layouts.
As for making it easier on the eyes, I have multiple issues with my eyes so I wouldnt know anything about that.
And, the first things a person sees about your story are the name, banner (if you have one), and the layout, and people sometimes decide whether or not to read a story by judging that, so making sure it fits seems quite important to me. :)
Hope this helps!
