ehyde Very belatedly, posting this here.
I saw a post about fandom bookbinding (fanbinding) and I thought, oh, neat! I could do that! It's not that I wasn't aware of the concept of making pretty, physical copies of fanfics--tarrlok and clockworkspider made me gorgeous printed copies of two of my fics. But this was the first time I'd seen it with traditional bookbinding, cloth covered hardbacks, that kind of thing. (I also thought hey, I could actually make my own print copy of MDZS, which is less relevant now).
The fanbinding discord is neat, too. Many people with strong opinions about archiving and preserving fic. I think I'm in it less for that cause and more as a type of fanart? But yeah.
Anyway though I decided to make a blank book first, as a tutorial project, which is what's pictured here. I'm already working on a book with words in it though and it's nearing completion.
