No Ordinary Love - a Papa!Remmick anthology by hatethysinner
Finally! After almost 2 months of work, this bookbind is finally complete! This is a Papa!Remmick x OC anthology where the vampire from Sinners becomes a father, and I wanted to make a book that does justice to that. There is so much stuff that I packed into this ficbind that I'm surprised it came out as well as it did!
This is an anthology composed of No Ordinary Love, Nothing Can Come Between Us, and Shit! , all written by the talented @hatethysinner. Two of them involve Remmick stumbling into fatherhood, and one is about him crashing onto a roof, because I like him like that..
Given the common origins of these fics, I wanted these three stories to be connected together by a visual theme. Creating a half-title page(s) was relatively simple, but I wanted to make a colored double-page spread for the full story titles. Unfortunately, I am also familiar with my printer jamming up if I tried to do borderless color spreads.
Solution: make the double-page color spreads onto A4 paper, and then cut them to size to glue them onto the textblock.
They all turned out beautiful.
To set the mood. I wanted the opening pages of every fic to have an accompanying picture. So I used the technique I applied to previous ficbinds—print pictures on a separate piece of paper, cut them, and paste only the spine-facing and top-facing edges on the textblock.
End result: art prints that bend with the pages but aren't wavy when I close the book!
The fic writer also noted on Tumblr that she was inspired to write these Papa!Remmick fics based on several songs she heard. So I went to their YouTube videos and made QR links to them!
Besides this, the artist @yasmin-lee117 made several pieces of fanart for No Ordinary Love. After obtaining her permission to use them, I printed them on sturdier paper and pasted them onto the pages, designing a border to make them look prettier amongst the text.
She also made some other Remmick fanart that I printed to use as endpapers!
Lastly (for the main book), I wanted to use an image to close out the ending of each fic, something that resonates with the theme of children and connection.
After some searching, I finally found a series of free graphics of different-sized hands holding each other, parent and child. Some reworking and paint, and now they look like Remmick offering his hand to his daughter (and wife!)
But the pièce de résistance of this entire bind is the secret compartment I made in the back cover that holds a booklet, full with Papa!Remmick headcanons from the author!
More specifically, this headcanon, this headcanon, and this headcanon.
It took some nerve-wracking measurements and veeeerrry careful cutting of the top/bottom edges of the booklet to make it small enough to fit. I also glued a ribbon into the hollow that I can pull to reveal the booklet. The ribbon also pulls double duty as a bookmark and wrapper!
All in all, this book took over a month and a half to make, from beginning to end. I had to do short bursts of work on my spare time after dinner (on workdays) and in whatever time I can find in weekends, which massively slowed progress. There were times when I felt despondent that this project would ever be completed. But now it's complete! And despite some mistakes made, it still looks amazing!
Special thanks to @hatethysinner for writing the amazing fics! And thanks to @yasmin-lee117 for her beautiful fanart!
(and thank you @nobledemons for the wrapped Remmick charm! IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL.)

Apparently, proper tagging to help others avoid character hate is now called censorship.
Idk, not having to see a character accused of stuff they didn't commit is apparently the same as telling others said characters are unacceptable, and their fans deserve harassment.
Because fiction directly influences reality.
All those nasty video games are making people into homicidal psychopaths. And where the hell are my millions?! I'm sure I've wrote about them somewhere!
The criminology degree is just a cherry on the top. Certainly someone I'd love to give power over others. What could go wrong?!

Some people think Daniel Jackson is naive. I think they are wrong.
A man who saw his parents died in front of him at the age of 8, whose grandfather abandoned afterward, so he had to grow up in the foster system? Naive?! Nah, Daniel isn't naive. He just doesn't care about keeping the status quo when he doesn't agree with it.
I feel like Daniel, at some point, must have heard the quote "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing" and he decided to do something every time he felt like evil was trying to "triunph", regardless of personal cost to him... and the cost to Jack's sanity.
Like this man ascends! And all around him are powerful beings doing NOTHING when injustice and violence abound, and he goes, "Can't do, sorry, not sorry" (a couple of times :p).
He knows better than most that people can be dark. He just refuses to expect it at every turn.
Daniel Jackson is the embodiment of "Be curious. Not judgmental."
