Both actually Shadow. I'm in a group of 10 people whom are making a game. Submitting the story to this novel mag could help us fine tune the story and flush out the broad picture a bit more. As for the site, I'll talk to my web designer and see what he thinks.

Alright, "Novel Mania Magazine" does not sit well with me as a name honestly. Too bland and not very eye-catching to me. Did you have any other ideas?

The image is a custom job right? Is it going to be touched up before release? Some of the text might need some color behind it to make it more legible as well. Why is the Medallion sub-text a different color than the other novel sub-texts?

I do enjoy the layout, just needs some touching up. Looks good so far. 8)

If you have an idea for a series, good.

We require that the story be good, interesting, unique (this can be disregarded at times obviously), and creative.

If you think it is, write the first chapter and PM it to me.

To answer some questions earlier that I didn't, the other name ideas are located at: http://z7.invisionfree.com/Eureka_Seven ... topic=4650

The image is custom, yes.

We hope to have it touched up, yes.

I tried to make all the different sub-texts and texts different for a unique appeal. Didn't work?

I think the sub-text under each title should all be consistently black. The titles themselves are decently different, might want to change the first one to something other than black though.

The bottom right corner is also very very empty. You could line up the things in the bottom left along the bottom in some fashion. Are those more novels, just with logos?

Try messing around with borders as well and see how that looks.

Post the next draft when you can. 8)
