Downfall of the Todorokis, an OC thrown back in time and taken in by the Todorokis ā nobles of the land. A fic that may never be posted (itās a question mark at this time) but bound regardless.
All art except the skull with crown is by Alderdoodle and acquired from their kofi shop.
Tried to do a graphite edge and royally fucked it up so needless to say Iāll be working on that š

To accompany the original post! One of my friends has been into timelapses recently so I made one for her- hereās a timelapse of sewing, cutting boards, and casing in. I tried to get sewing endbands but couldnāt get it without my head taking up the entire space and no one needs that lol
we're baaaaaack. It's been a hot minute since I've made anything and I've had this partially done as a typeset for a while so I decided to commit!
Flu Game by @ohhgingersnaps is a Stardew Valley, Sebastian x OC (Ava), hanahaki fic and let me tell you I love it!
This was my first time doing a two page spread for the title page and I am HYPED with how it turned out. I also enjoyed making part of the flyer in the clinic about hanahaki.
As always, the use of Fall Out Boy lyrics/songs as chapter titles gives me so much life š
Edit: Timelapse here!
This one hits hard, and I got to cry with @rat-juicee as I showed it to her today.
The lighthearted version: rat-juicee told me she loved her previous junk journals, but the books couldnāt close after a while because of the sheer volume of things glued into them, so I made one with a W I D E spine (perhaps a bit too wide)(thatās okay, I can always punch more holes and insert more pages). I put these fun bump out things on the cover
The sad
(Tw pet death)
Not a book, but dusted off the old sewing machine and made a skirt. Wanted something long but lightweight since all my other long skirts are heavy For Winter.

The problem with sewing is that you quickly realise you have dumped lots of skill points into control thread and furthermore, thereās a lot of other hobbies that require control thread so you decide to pick up knitting, or crochet, or weaving, and then spinning happens to you, or rug making, or cord weaving, and then you turn the wrong corner on the internet and find out control thread also specs into basket weaving, and book binding, and then youāre thinking things like āI wonder if this also applies to lead climbingā and now you have A Problem
Two books done! I bought an online version of a cookbook and the publisherās site was ass for reading it on so naturally I had to make a physical copy. Got to use book cloth made from some stuff I found at Joannās (rip). Used maleeka_mols_createsā end band tutorial over on Instagram and I LOVE how it turned out!
Also did another rebind in the Percy Jackson series with The Sea of Monsters and one day Iāll complete the entire series

Hoo okay it has been a Hot Minute since I made anything. Like. Since October. Long story short, there was a lot of Changesā¢ļø in the home and redoing areas (read: I didnāt have an art space for about twoooo and a half months?) but!
New work area! New projects!
Head empty no thoughts made a book to see what details Iād forgotten of this craft! (Spoilers, a lot).
Tried to do foiled edges and realized I no longer have a sander and my noodle arms arenāt built for sanding by hand! (If you half ass attempt something, you get half assed results)
Got some of the cleanest looking endbands ever!
Birthday gift journal! Because itāll be a Junk Journal I included a tie to help keep it closed (the last one got a bag full of confetti from a concert added to it). When I sent samples of potential covers she had a hard time choosing so I combined two of them and tried to stick with a space/stars theme š

Iāve been slowly working on this one since about July, but We Didnāt Start The Fire by @ohhgingersnaps has been on my To Be Bound list ever since I first read it. It blends Stardew Valley and superhero life wonderfully and has been one of my go-tos for rereading.
With a majority Fall Out Boy song titles/lyrics as chapter titles, I tried to emulate the font from The Phoenix as a nod to them as well as our leading hero in the story.
From formatting newspaper articles to text messages to cut-out-newspaper-definitely-not-threats-messages, I had a blast with this, but I think the highlight for me personally was including two of @inktr0vert ās sketches of Ava and Sebastian (thank you for letting me use them!)

when printing, do you do the whole thing on a color printer, or do you section out only the color bits? asking for myself because i've got a massive fic that involves colored text blurbs for multiple people and i'm wondering how to maximize using a b&w printer to save toner.
thank you in advance <3
I used a color printer for the whole thing, but saved the book as a pdf and used an imposer (@/renegadeguildās resources tab -> resource document -> imposer ) which puts together the pages into signatures in order for me and saves each signature as individual pdfs, and then when printing Iād change between black and white and color when printing a new signature. If I really wanted to get nitpicky about what is printed bw vs color, I could do individual pages this way too
Not sure how familiar you are with the imposer, or if itās something you would want to use, so feel free to ignore! But what I do by picture is: 1. Upload pdf of text 2. Make sure paper size is what I want 3. Adjust how many sheets of paper will make up each signature - I usually stay around 7-9 and finally 4. Generate

The book that finally made me buy a guillotine!
Inspired by my grandmother-in-law who is a talented artist, I visited her this weekend and asked her if she could show me how she makes her envelopes she sends cards in (examples she sent home with me):
I bought a guillotine

Renegade Loves Fic (Writers) Stats 2024
Fanfiction Writers Appreciation Day or FFWAD (August 21st) is an annual appreciation of fanfiction writers and the gifts that they give to fandom. To show our appreciation, we ran a binding event where binders on our Renegade Discord server chose a fic to make a physical copy of. This was all to say thank you to the author for the work that they put into making it.
Hereās onto the stats for this yearās event!

These itsy-bitsy A7 books are three copies of white queen, red heart and snow white, blood red by @ofgeography
One copy was for me, one was send as a gift to the author, and one is for Goose @imaginariumpress who is generously helping me with actually delivering authorās copies for Fanfiction Writerās Appreciation Day this year.
š©ø The color scheme was right there in the prompt, so here are the bloody tiny books.
š©ø The covers are white cotton hand dyed/painted with red ink; the same ink was used to paint the edges (I wanted at least some bleed, and ink does that);
š©ø Title pages feature the dark forest and the dwarf caverns;
š©ø The fancy drop caps and the page numbers are bleeding. I really love this effect for vampire stories, itās so extra!
š©ø But probably not as extra as typesetting the entire book in blackletter, but it felt appropriate for the dark fairy tale vibe the stories got going on.
I had a lot of fun with this project, and I really recommend checking out the stories if you somehow havenāt already!
August 21st is FFWAD: Fan Fic Writerās Appreciation Day! This year, Iām delighted to share the books I made to celebrate @cesperanza and the years of brilliant fanfic sheās given us.
Some Strange Prophecy is a Due South ficāa show that premiered 30 years ago and remains one of my all time favorites. I knew that at some point this year I would want to bind something that would celebrate the showās premiere, and it made perfect sense to bind one of Speranzaāsāand it didnāt hurt that the fic itself is 20 years old this year, and just an absolute masterpiece.
The cover for this book is an abstract representation of Bennieās uniform, bound in red moire with HTV decorations.
I pulled out a piece of Peggy Skycraft marbled paper for the endpapers (Skycraft is a renowned marbler whose work is in the Met, and I had gotten a batch of her amazing work in a recent auction).
The fic is just over 50k words, so it fit perfectly in a legal quarto size. The endbands are a traditional silk two color bead-on-front style.
But wait! That isnāt all! I also bound two tiny books (legal sextodecimos) to celebrate Speranza and some of the other amazing fic sheās given us. I had asked for permission to bind SSP, but these two little Stargate Atlantis fic were a surprise for herāWar Bride and Ordinary Life (the latter co-written with @astolat , whose books Iāve bound before).
War Bride was bound in Neenah Paper fake leather, and Ordinary Life in Colibri book cloth, both as 3 piece Bradels with hot foil decorations.
Thank you again, @cesperanza , for all the wonderful fic youāve written and shared with us over the years. Itās been a joy sharing fandoms with you!
