I'm hoping to have my banner up in the next to days and I'm going to get my coding back. Or at least new coding. Thanks for updating the link, Sacred.

I'm confused. You can enter if you want, the space is there, you just have to fill out the form and such and make sure you meet the requirements x:

Oh boy-Title and layout! Yikes-I don't know if I'll get any new code for a new layout for this contest! Its pretty plain and simple, tho I did play with fonts and colors LOL. I miss my old layout-but hopefully soon I'll get a new one. . .

Layout is going to be a tough one to figure out with the move now, since everyone's layouts will look slightly different. Especially those who post on other sites and don't have to worry about layouts.

While you're right on the whole "it's about the writing thing" we can't ignore the fact that layouts will deter a reader, thought that's why something like that is in the first round and not the later ones. all i really look for is something that's just easy on the eyes, nothing that makes it difficult to read like weird color schemes or tiny text or things like that.

Sacred, I've begun reposting swans on Figment, although currently only the prologue is up. At least the first few chapters should be be back up in the next few days tho. Also, I can't remember if we're allowed to post outside links now? Do you want the link here, or should I pm you?

Also, maybe for the fics that don't have layouts, you could double the title score and make that the score for that round? Idk if that would work...

~Sapphire~ Yes you can post outside links now, especially since we know its nothing inappropriate or anything. Feel free to post it for me, or pm, either works really. As far as doubling the score for Title, I don't think it would really work, which is why the round was combined with title and layout to begin with. Both were too small to stand on their own as a round, but like I told Tuesday, we never really judged on how "pretty" the layout was but how easy it is to read and how the organization is. Of course having a nice and clean layout was a great thing and made you score higher, but that was almost always because there seemed to be a pattern where layouts that weren't special seemed to also be a bit disorganized which was unfortunate.

Here it is, then c: (And I have to say, I'm quite happy about the outside links thing) And I can get that. Never mind

Yes I'm happy about that too omg. I understood their reason for not allowing it, but really not all outside links should have been banned. Instances like these really weren't making anyone "unsafe" or giving them viruses.

Yeah... maybe vetting links was seen as too much trouble

I kinda want to join, but I feel like I'll be eliminated straight away for not having a fancy layout...

Your layout is not judged on being "fancy". It is on how organized and easy to follow it is.

Updated the round description, even though it already said this, since people seem to misunderstanding the whole "layout round" thing.
