#paperback binding

Good Boy.

My second fic bind, and first paperback was my current obsession Bloody, Slutty, and Pathetic by whatmurdah with art by @ivmaruva who I'm OBSESSED with.

I love a man who's only a simp for his person.

Bound: The Superfluous Man by peu_a_peu

Okay, whoops, I forgot to take good pictures before I sent it off to the author.

I wanted to bind this, but it's fairly short, but I also wanted to test out the double fan method of making a paperback, so that's what I decided to do. I used @maleekamolscreates's tutorial and it worked great!

I did end up making three copies of this bind - the first I cut too much, the second I printed the cover in black and white, and the third was the one pictured. (Plus I'd put a border around the text on the back, and it kept getting cut off a bit, or it make it obvious that my cut wasn't perfectly straight.)

Oh. The cover. THE COVER. Of course I had to make it look like Potioneer's Guide to Conception and Gestation, Vol 2. Of course.

It was super fun to make. I printed the cover on my inkjet printer, then ran it through the laser printer just to add the title so I could use toner foil on it.

The art inside is by @the-forbidden-forest. SO GOOD.

I finally got around to printing this typeset and putting my thermal binder to use :) I’ll have to get a cover printed this weekend but I thought I’d share a progress pic just in case I forget

I really like this kind of thing, so bear with me as I talk about them a lot in this nascent stage and I gain a rhythm of sorts. Would you guys want to see free commissions going out to Patreons regularly? Would you consider supporting the Patreon if you knew you might get the occassional book? Let me know

Although for traction, I guess I can post the WIP pictures of Ann's chosen paperback (won the Duck Race Giveaway from the beginning of August)

The book is done, I just need to take some Gourmet™️ pics of it!
