Happy (belated) Fanfiction Writers Appreciation Day! For FFWAD, Renegade Bindery runs an event where we bind copies of fics for their authors and I was super excited to be able to bind this for a fellow bookbinder!

I'm rather new to the Drarry fandom but @epitomereally has been absolutely wonderful in providing fic recs and bookbinding advice. She is so so kind and I have enjoyed seeing the lovely books she has created for fellow authors, and somewhere along the way I hatched a sekret plan to bind a copy of her fic for her.

Some stats as usual:

97,262 words || 354 pages

body text: EB Garamond 11 point

accents: Bestaline Sans, Bell MT and Bembo Std

In celebration, @renegadepublishing ran an event to bind and gift a fic to the author. I chose to bind @sweetlittlevampire's lovely fic Heart of Glass. I got confirmation that it arrived which was nervewracking because I had never shipped international before!

It was such fun and I'm so glad Rima let me bind her wonderful fic.

This was originally supposed to be for Fan Fiction Writers Appreciation Day (August 21st) but was just a little late. It did safely arrive, though! ... just about a week later lol.

Fic: Sugarcoated by Shey (cc: @shey-elizabeth) Words: 37,806

fonts title: Sugar Creamy body: Sabon LT Pro

This is a day late because spoons, but the book arrived on time so I'm saying that's what counts :P

This binding was a present for @pretty-pony for @renegadepublishing's Fanfic Writer Appreciation Day binding event!

This fic is the heartrending Drive, She Said. I knew the first time I finished reading it that I would be revisiting it, because it's just that good!

She and Regina had discussed this only once, late at night when they were both tangled together, sweaty and sated. Regina was still breathing heavily, but she had turned her head to Emma and said, “There has to be a plan for Henry if this all goes bad.” So they’d come up with this plan. This system. They would leave together, unless they couldn’t. Unless someone needed to fight for the town and Henry needed to be safe. And today Regina had said the magic words.

It's a Swanqueen Once Upon a Time fic and a fairly short bind, coming in at a little over 13k.

I had a lot of fun with the Secret Belgian binding style. I've never done one before but I really enjoy doing non-adhesive bindings, because there's no waiting! Once it's done, it's done. It's US letter paper, folio, so it's nice and sleek and perfect to hold while I read this and cry!

The endpapers are maps of NYC, because most of the fic takes place there. That also inspired me for the title page, which was so much fun to make! This binding also-also gave me my first take on a two-spread title page. It was a little challenging making it on Word, but I'm really happy with how it turned out.

Another first for this one: using fabric markers on the cover! I think it took a similar amount of time as my cricut, and probably similar levels of frustration :'D but I'm in love with the look!
