There HAS to be a better way to solve my printer's color balance issues than manually lowering the cyan saturation in each individual image. Ugh. But whatever it is, I have not found it. Printer troubleshooting is my least favorite aspect of bookbinding.

Before I got to this step of the process, I was having a fun time typesetting--that's what I've been doing with most of my free time this week. Most of my reading has been (sigh) rubbernecking the twitter situation, but I do have a fic rec to drop off: "Hear a song so deeply" by [archiveofourown.org profile] so_shhy It's a modern cultivation au, which I'm predisposed to like already, but something else I really liked about this was the worldbuilding surrounding musical cultivation and demonic cultivation. In this universe, the Lan sect's musical cultivation techniques were lost centuries ago, and LWJ is a researcher attempting to reconstruct them. If I bound this fic (we'll see; my list is long), I'd like to do some sort of longstitch/visible stitching technique with the stitching on the spine mimicking guqin strings.

Related: sometimes I ask myself "is this book design too gimmicky?" and then I remind myself that I am printing and binding fanfiction and I should do what makes me happy.
