Skintones by light/medium/dark choice

[EpisodeHoneyy]

Hi!

I always wondered, what skin tones would be used if the author uses limb overlays and give the choice to the reader to pick their skintone (light medium dark)

Can someone tell Me?

Thank you X

yeah, I don’t believe that’s an option.
Maybe you can make a limb overlay of every single skin tone there is on the portal, and then give the reader a choice at the beginning to repeat what color they used and then use labels to remember that choice in later episodes when you have to use the limbs. It could work, but seems like a big hassle, wouldn’t you agree?

I don’t really know any other way, I’m sorry

Opinion on not letting reader change MC and LI looks?

I personally don’t care for CC, but a lot of readers do and if you don’t offer it, most it your fanmail will be full of people asking for it (that’s exactly what happened to me in my first story). In my current story, I allow the readers to fully CC the MC and two LIs, but I make it very clear I use a lot of hand and arm overlays. I make my overlays in three different shades per character, and highlight the shades that match. I find this gives the readers a wider range of CC options, while stil…

Opinion on not letting reader change MC and LI looks?

Of course! It’s not hard at all. I just use a points system, and then if/elif/else when I want to use a skin tone specific overlay. The circles on the side are tappable in my story hence the first part of this code, but yours can be tappable or in regular choice format.
