Slugline brings the feel of a screenplay to your Tumblr, with paper-like pages against a dark background and Courier Prime type. Scene sluglines give writing a cinematic setting, while letterboxed film stills pair with subtitle captions.

The single-column layout supports all Tumblr post types, plus reblog trails and tags. Search and pages are included, along with an ask box. Chats appear as dialogue. Choose Background and Page colours, then Ink and Subtitle. Accent is also adjustable. Toggle Full Frame Photos or Hide Scene Numbers. You can also switch Original Photos on or off and add your own Draft Line text.
