Ficbind complete for a Disco Elysium fanfic I was absolutely delighted to find, because it’s illustrated!
The Long View Down by Rin/kriegersan on AO3 was a well-written continuation of the game with the new perspective of the NPC no one wants to disappoint: Lieutenant Kim Kitsuragi. It reads like a noir book and I tried to keep it flimsy like noir often is, but I did use some of this bright orange handmade paper for a book of my own (I used it for a book I was sending to my friend that's in a completely different fandom—handmade paper is the gift that keeps giving and giving and giving...).
Couldn’t resist taking it to the toilet, where Harry belongs.
I’ve followed J. R. Doyle’s comics and illustration work since the early days of Knights Errant and absolutely love their style. It fits in so well with the dark storyline, and had the bonus of being black-and-white already so I could still print it successfully!
I went for a kind of old-fashioned way of including the illustrations—I added quotes from the text under the pictures, as I perceived them fitting into the story. I had an appendix of the illustrations and quotes at the end of the book.
I collaged the title page out of illustrations throughout the story. The summary lines are there, too, set up in the style of trashy paperback bodice-rippers. I’m pretty proud of this one, in spite of the flaws I see! I’m going to see if a friend wants to read it. I feel like a lot of Disco Elysium stories stand well on their own, with their mystery plots and otherworldly setting. I might be biased, though; I loved this game.
