Happily tested out the “small” imposition with this 39,374 word, 350 page piece. Nestles perfectly in the palm and has a pleasing chunk to it that’s nice to grip. Marks the switch I’m making from white pages to more ‘cream’ choice (20 lb, Hammermill)

Due to brave folks on the Renegade Discord showing me the way, I also tested out printing on home made bookcloth for the first time– and figured out how to feed A6 paper into my printer! AND I made my first dust jacket because the cloth I selected was so plain plus there remains a fear of the ink being worn off. Learning left and right on this one… The ghosting of minor text misalignment between cover and dust jacket feels more like a feature than a bug. 

Am looking forward to doing more at this size and better defining the bounds of what does & does not work w/ the printed bookcloth. Have I finally figured out how to get at home titling that I’m comfortable with??

WHAT CAN I SAY EXCEPT @simply-sithel​ YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY BRILL!!!!!! Thank you thank you THANK YOU for making my dream of reading a physical fic not just a reality, but a piece of art. You gave life to this beautiful story by @agentmoppet in the most fitting way.

SUCH incredible detail on this cute thing, with a mind-blowing integrity for an object so small, plus flawless typeset (including gears for text breaks!!), and lovely title on cover and spine. I am so grateful to you! Thank you for sharing your craft!!! <3

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I’ve kind of just stared at this for ten minutes straight not knowing how on EARTH to write a reblog because !!!!!!!!!!! Like???? !!!!!!!!! This is amazing!!!! I’ve never had anyone bind my fic before, and when you asked for permission to have it bound, I basically squealed for a week. And then had to make myself calm down because of course I understand that wanting to begin a project and then actually getting it done are wildly different things, and I have certainly abandoned stuff, and so I knew it wasn’t a certainty and I guess, idk, I tricked my brain into actually believing that for once??? Because getting your message and seeing the post has just left me gobsmacked. You did an incredible job on this @simply-sithel I’m in absolute awe at how much care and talent has gone into this. You made my little fic look so gorgeous and so loved, and I’m just stunned at how beautiful it is. And knowing this exists out there in the world with you @wetassdrarry makes my heart swell, I’m so delighted you requested this one and I think you’re both amazing.
