Fanbinding: i know where to draw the line by magneticwave
This was for my local Heated Rivalry fanbinding exchange (everyone picks a fic and gets a random one; no prior matches or references.) I wanted to stick with my exchange tradition of trying new things, so this was "horizontal stripes that go around the spine." If there's a better word for that I don't know it.
What I did was I glued the boards and spine to brown paper first, and then put the fabric on top; that way they didn't overlap each other, which I thought would make it hard to open, but also means there weren't any gaps around the hinge because it's all glued down.
I learned from my Moby Dick mistakes and glued the fabric on in top-down order, instead of color by color, so that I wouldn't have to cut the middle strip with insane precision. I didn't get the edge quite as clean as I'd like to have; I need to put little grippy feet on my ruler so that it doesn't slide. Normally my lines do not matter this much.
Chapter heading page is, of course, a goal, and the endpapers are the only red and blue paper I had, which excited then disappointed @english-mace when she learned that nobody in the fic does any murders.
