Here's The Deal, I Did A Dtiys For @mircsy A While Ago But I Tagged It Wrong And Even After Reblogging

My personal goal is to try and make fanfic binding as accessible to everyone as possible, so here are some resources on how to make a fanfic hardcover for under $25.

This is a barebones bind for the broke college students and such. Happy to field questions, too!

Here's a proposed budget breakdown:

Loosely organized thoughts:

Fanfic bookbinders often share typesets amongst each other. Never pay for a typeset for a fanfic.

You'll hear a lot about grain direction for your printer paper, but as a newbie on a budget without your own printer, settle for some nice 92 bright paper. If you like the hobby, splurge after but expect to pay at least 2-3x more for short grain paper.

Printing is a pain because some copy shops won't let you print intellectual property smut, and it's very expensive. You are better off bartering instead or looking for a free printer on Buy Nothing.

You know the thick paper wrapping that comes with online orders? It's a good weight for endpapers if you need to scrounge. Paper grocery bags or gift bags (birthday presents) might work, too.

Ask your local library to give you covers from books they are throwing out. Ask for outdated textbooks (those covers are built like tanks) or three-ring binders that are too busted to be binders anymore.

Obtain a used book that was mass produced (so your destruction of it does not impede anyone's access) and maybe even become a little vindictive with it.

If you can afford it, I recommend the Olfa SVR knife (~$10)

If you can afford it, upgrade your ruler to a t-square.

I really hope this resource is helpful! I want to stress how possible this is and encourage people to cherish what they love through art.

If you are interested in fanfic binding and have a little more disposable income, I have an affordable Fan Fiction Bookbinding Starter Pack that I carry on my site. I pack them myself and drop them 1x/month on the 15th.

I feel like your Leo would like Radiohead, thoughts?

Absolutely I feel like his favorites would be Creep, Exit music for a film, and No surprises

Radiohead is probably on his sad playlist for when he needs some music to commiserate with him

Here's a quick illustration of how he feels listening to radiohead bc idk if I can describe that very well with words

School doodles, ignore the epic the musical brainrot in the background lol

Folks over on the gram really liked this one soooo

Small guy ig look at him go

So this is what happens when my fav villain from the franchise also becomes the main villain of the fanfic I'm obsessed with. I was gonna share this before chapter 15 came out but apparently @qoldenskies works at lightspeed

Umm I also got shitty close-ups

:D <- grew up with Czech kids' tv

:) <- classic smiley. many uses

(: <- barely hanging on. tormented

:3 <- whimsy and mischief

:3c <- variant of :3 used when your whimsy has just pissed someone off

:0) <- the humble clown

:^] <- purest smile. incapable of malice

€: <- theoretical specimen unobserved in the wild

:> <- esoteric specimen of unknown ecological niche

:] <- this one has a boner

now get the hell out of my lab leo

Actually those evocative lines are the reason I wrote the ask. Like, you describe emotions and situations so so SO well omg. I love.

WHO GAVE YOU THE RIGHT TO HURT ME LIKE THIS. DID THE MUSES GUIDE YOUR HAND OR SOMETHING

I managed to speedrun the first two fics of Canary Continuity within a day. And. How could you do this to me.

The greatest, most beautiful, painful, gut-wrenching, heart-shattering paragraphs ever written seem to be found in tmnt angst fics istg.

waow... im glad people have high opinion of my prose (because i do not have high opinion of my prose)

oh wait im supposed to be coy that's like my bit. TEEHEE THANK U FOR ENJOYING
