leave all your love and longing behind by @scarlettohairdye
One of two binds done this year for @renegadepublishing's 2023 Bound Book Exchange. One of my favorite fics, and one that had already been on my to-bind list (actually, both had been. Excellent taste on my Giftee's part, Lou) More info under the cut

No Compasses, No Signs by Brooklinegirl
The second of two binds done this year for @renegadepublishing's 2023 Bound Book Exchange and another absolute banger fic. I've had this one in the to-bind pile as well, so this exchange was largely the universe getting my to-dos in shape, it seems.

After much ado and a great number of mishaps (read:fuckups), I can proudly present my first fan binding book(s)!
The very first fic I thought of when discovering this was a thing one could do was this:
The Least of All Possible Mistakes by Rageprufrock, who has been very kind about me emailing them about this project in a way one might consider over-eager.
I wound up doing two copies, one for my own shelf and one to send to my best friend, which I plan to annotate with notes and the like.
I also wound up making my own headbands, because the premades I bought were not color theme appropriate (blues and teals for the jacket Mycroft gives George)
I did unfortunately put the bookmark in the wrong way around, being as I was gluing the spine up around 1am, but I've been told that's it's own trend so let's say it was intentional.
The cover paper and endpapers are a lovely Italian paper with an AMAZING embossed print that feel. So, so nice.
I also drew the umbrella and takeout box, because a certain scene in chapter 6 has stayed particularly vibrant in my mind these last 7 years of readthroughs.
I wound up doing the first copy typeset in Gdocs, which I can comfortably say was a mistake, and the reformatted and retypset it in InDesign for the second copy, which was one hell of a learning curve but the lovely folks on the Renegade Bindery discord really helped me through the process and this book absolutely would not have come into the world without them.
No titles on the front and spine yet, but that may yet come.
This has been such a fun project and I cannot wait to bind more books and create new hardbound copies. I already have a second fic bound, but that will be it's own post a little later.
Sneak peak while I continue to test some tags bullshit.
