I've lost my layout - and I can't find how to get it back! Bugger. Everything's changed on the layout page. Oh well. The layout I have at the moment is leaning toward the new website I'll have soon-ish. It won't be the same, exactly, but the piece of art is donated very kindly by the artist - Gehayi pointed me to the Cool Bits Generator

www.magatsu.net/coolbits/index.php

and these are just some of the plot bunnies - *wallows*

It starts in a gas station in the middle of nowhere, with an evil twin. The antagonist looks down on the whole world and the plot involves elements like inept crooks and scars on the abdomen.

It starts in a landscape lost in mist, with a psychic. The antagonist is a psychopath and the plot involves elements like supernatural abilities become pedestrian and forbidden love.

The story begins in neon-lit streets, when a retired superhero and a incompetent assassin meet because of fingers sliding under clothing. It involves boundaries breaking down.

The story narrates a journey between a souk and a boardwalk during winter, during which an antihero and a person who stays behind to make sure everyone gets out safe encounter a regretful telepath with trailing sleeves, as well as gender confusion and holding someone still with one hand tangled in their hair.

This narrative contains the non-human as genuinely strange and incomprehensible. It starts in a ballroom full of swishing skirts and duplicity with a shapechanger. The antagonist is an intelligent person and the plot involves elements like gender confusion and betraying one's creators.

This narrative is about the universe's sense of time vs. human time. It starts in the Malabar Coast with a darkly Byronic anti-hero. The antagonist is a tragic singer and the plot involves elements like tossing a coin and catching it and loyalty.

Your narrative takes place on the edge of evil. It begins in turn-of-the-century Europe. There is a funeral and a boy in a shirt with a collar loose enough to show his collarbones who meets a beefy yet intelligent man. It ends with overcoming an age difference in a romantic relationship.

Your story begins with a solitary journey to an unknown destination. In an attic there is a woman who is sexual with no care of what others say who has Victorian clothing. The protagonist experiences things like isolation and alchemy. It finally ends with dragons.

Your story begins with a tall man in a dark Armani suit in a landscape lost in mist. The villain is a person who selfishly leaves everything behind who has long hair. Plot elements include mind control and the night sky in winter.

uh. If you have the art -- and need a layout, then email me the art and I'll code it up. ^^

hopelesslydystopian@gmail dot com. Give me a day or so - I have work during the week, but I can usually work out a layout fairly shortly. Do you know what it used to look like?

Thank you and no hurry at all!

I'll email over the screen cap of the new website - anywhere resembling it would be wonderful, it doesn't have to be identical

Haha! Well, like I said in my comment to someone else, if what you want somewhat resembles [image] at the top [link list] [side bar with your links to other places] and [entry boxes] then it's rather simple, and no problem at all. XD All I need to do is get the image hosted on imageshack, drop it into a standard code, adjust the parameters of the code itself to allow for the dimensions, sort out the standard 'user-info' type links, and then re-code in your side-bar. Which should be no problem, just time consuming.

Just a question - is your journal S2 or S1? Either works.

*LOL*

Oh yes that sounds really simple! FOR A WIZARD!

S2

It really is. I mean, I learnt by borrowing codes from premade_ljs - which is where my current layout is from, until I'm done with graphics for a new one. All you have to do is know the basics of the html, and then trial and error. It can get incredibly interesting, honest!

XD I had to learn, to some degree, because I did coding for a profile for work. S2, all right then! Much easier than style one!

Oh, fantastic. I might still have a copy of how the layout looked in my cache, but I'm not sure how to reproduce the layout from that file. But I do like the one you have now.

If you know the basics of it, go somewhere like premade_ljs, and re-code some of that stuff. I taught myself to code my GJ profile based on that, and it's surprisingly easy after a while. If it's a basic [graphic] [links] [entries] type thing, then that's pretty easy to replicate, in terms of appearance, as background images can get linked in, and you can shift stuff around/make it transparent. Erastes has a side-bar, which is harder to code because it's got double the stuff on it, but you can background image-that. The hard part is matching something that takes the basics and shakes it.

I think you left out part of the post...

I love the Cool Bits Generator. It's the best bunny creator I can think of.

Dear Erastes

What is this plot? Is it your story you wrote, or, from a book you wrote its review?
I was hooked, literally, but as you know I'm a bit fool, so want to know more about it.
