I am super happy to show off this kinda-anthology bind! When I decided to bind these fics, I reread the stories. There's a lot of academia happening in the background! And Kirk is very reluctantly blackmailed into writing scholarly papers by his mentor. So, what better formatting for these works than to go all out... and format them as a Ph.D thesis?

In these efforts I went so far as to download thesis submission and formatting guidelines from multiple institutions ahahaha. So! We have the correct ToC, impact statement (from me), Preface, appendices, etc. (However I did not cave to using TNR. Instead I used Baskerville for my font. I also indulged in some pretty marbled endpapers).

For the case, I used what I think? is skivertex (hey I bought it here in Japan, there's a translation issue) and I used my heat foil pen to do the logo and titling on the cover. I am happy with how it turned out overall (even if i had to remake the case once...) !! And VERY happy to have it on my shelf!

blood will tell but often it tells too much by elumish on AO3

They don’t talk about what Percy did during the war.

“Percy. Son. Sit, please.” Percy sits, clenching his hands in his lap. “We weren’t looking for them—you—to go after you. You singlehandedly saved more lives than anybody else, as far as we know, in the entire war. There are families who want to adopt you. One wanted me to legalize Life Debts just so they could owe you one.”

I've learned a lot as I went and somehow the book ended up as tightly wound as I am (oops) but overall I'm happy with my first attempt at fanbinding. There definitely some skills that I need to practice before I try again, though.

This was a very satisfying personal project and I look forward to adding to my new, physical collection of fanfiction. I know some people disagree with fan binding but, as a small-time fic writer, I'd be honored if someone thought my writing was good enough for printing. And, since I read these docs 2-3 times a year, I know this physical copy will be in my hands frequently.
