A Question of Looks

Hi guys.

As the reseeding proceed we are discovering some new functions in the story editor (don't worry I'll post a guide to these advanced functions too, I promise). Anyway we recently discovered a way to incorporate the picture into the story in a more organic way, having the text flowing alongside the picture, instead of having the pictures interrupting it.

This is and example of the new layout.
And this is an example of the old one.

So, I want to know: which one do you prefer?

For the authors, please contact me through PM, if you want me to edit your stories with the new look.

Hm, difficult. The flowing text has an overall better look, but when the text flows around the image, you can't always tell when the time has come to look at the image. When the image interrupts the text, it is pretty clear when you're supposed to look at the image.
Concerning this, I as a reader prefer the interrupted layout.

To be quiet honest, I prefer the newer one. It has a bit of a vintage feel to it plus the text is much easier to read that way.

You'd think that superspeed would make me more punctual, huh?

So, one in favor and one against the new look. Please keep the feedback coming.

Actually I already tested it on Infinity Crisis 5 and it looks pretty good.

As I said above I will post a guide on the subject soon (probably after the current workshop deadline).

I like the original interrupted scheme as you can use a larger picture in the story.

Any chance to set the system up so the author gets to choose on a submission by submission basis?

With the current iteraction of the Library software the procedures to incorporate the pictures one way or the other are different, I hope that the developers will unify them in the near future.
Still, as I said above, any author that want his pictures to appear in the new format can contact me to fix the layout.
