Wordpress Themes for Webfiction?

2 years ago | aricollins (Member)

Anyone have any suggestions for a good theme to use? My first thought was actually comicpress, because I'm looking for a nothing-below-the-fold structure, but Comicpress and I have decided to see other people/themes, so: what do you guys use?

I've customized Fauna for my site. Actually, I'm debating releasing a version with my customizations -- though I'd probably have to formalize a bunch of hacks if I were to do that.

I'm using MistyLook, which I'm quite pleased with. It's a pretty elegant two-column layout with a nice-sized banner up top.

Boat Story: kidnapped kids, mysterious maps, debt, tropical storms, pirates, sea monsters, family, tea.

I built my theme, but I have a colophon at http://www.loveandwartx.com/colophon/ explaining which vital plugins I'm using.I also borrowed code (for the homepage thumbnails) from the Morning After theme.

For other fiction projects I've used Thematic, Hemingway, and the Morning After.

My wordpress theme is Thirteen and I am happy with it. I find going to fiction sites where you have to search a sidebar to figure out the beginning, etc., is a bother. Thirteen enables you to make a static homepage with the contents and links to individual chapters. With this as a base a reader cam easily read sequentially or skip around. The url for my site is http://panflickinprogressprivate.wordpress.com/

My main blog is also Thirteen if you want to see how it works without a static home page.

I use "K2-lite" because it is one of the few I like that has navigation on single-post pages. With the others, there are no way to go to previous or next posts... which is rather problematic for publishing web series. (I'm hosted at wordpress.com so I don't have much control over my templates.)

I use Ahimsa and customized the poop out of it.

May my words be balm to the hurting, and acid to the tormentors.
