Here's the link to the web design I plan to buy for the fanfic portion of my website.
There is a single column for stories, including code for pics within the page.
Feedback is appreciated, though I should add that this is a design that's for keeps. I'm on a photoshop-CS6 look and this baby is as close to what I want as I've found. This includes the purple scheme, though I'll be changing the pics and eliminating account features bit. I may put links there, I dunno yet.
If this color scheme is too hard for people, let me know. While I'm keeping the scheme, I can import stories to my account on Archive of our Own (AO3), providing I'm getting enough feedback to do that. As you know, AO3 has a basic black-on-white theme, and if I get specific requests, I can do that. However, I've no plans to import all of my stories (god, what a tedious chore that will be) **UNLESS** I get requests to do that.
I know that many people read my stories on various platforms, and iirc, the new design shouldn't be too bad on cellphones. OTOH, why the hell would anyone read stories on a cellphone? You have to have bionic eyes for that. ;)
In my previous post, I said that I was planning to scale down the SG-1 site. But then I got some feedback on the site today, telling me how happy they were for all the info. And as we know, only 10% of readers give feedback. So I guess all the content will have to stay. ;)
Anyway, AO3 importing won't need to wait for my website overhaul, so again, please give me some feedback to let me know about readability, both on my new design and what's displayed on AO3. :)
Thanks. :)

As for reading on different platforms; yes, why would you read on a cellphone? Jeez, I have enough trouble reading texts, etc. on the damn things!
Please, please, please don't scale down the SG-1 site. There are so few of them around these days and the fans need more, not less.
That's it from me. Except to say, please keep writing J/D and J/D/J.

So there we are. And I was writing today! Big event for me, considering. Got only one page in, but I'll see what I can get done tomorrow. :)

You just keep going. For yourself as much as anyone else.
