Does your blog name reference the Allman Brothers lyric in Melissa? Just curious. Love that song.

it does reference an Allman Brothers song! but it’s from “Ain’t Wastin’ Time No More”.

So I ain't a-wastin time no more. ‘Cause time goes by like hurricanes, and faster things

i read ‘summer slipped us underneath her tongue’ recently and while that pairing doesn’t seem to be your thing anymore i just wanted to come here and say what a delight it was to read! sososo fun and perfect. it’s cool to see how far you’ve come, especially when you were starting from such a high point already :)

I actually reread it recently, and while I would do some things differently, I was... fairly proud of it? I had never written anything before that fic. And I mean never. To think that I started off with an almost 40k fic is always so wild to me. But sometimes it just happens that way.

I'm glad you enjoyed it :)

girl help I'm having fic ideas incompatible with the amount of free time I currently have

The best quality a fictional man can have is being deeply, pathetically, wretchedly in love with someone, I think

[andfasterthings]

I just reread OTBOKC and girl I’m so moved by it every time 🫶 Every spring, something in my brain tells me to read a Honeydripping story. I’ve been Pavlov’d 😘

I really don’t know how Spring became my posting season, but it has. Not this year, tho. Going on anti-depressants has made it sooooo much harder to sit and write for hours on end. But I’m making progress! Getting closer every day.

too many fanfics have the guy be like "oh me and my wife are in an open relationship im totally allowed to have sex with other people." we need more fanfics with straight up infidelity ! adultery even !

[andfasterthings]

you have to make it homoerotic and weird

“imagine your otp”

Now that the book has been delivered, I can share photos! into the wild blue by @andfasterthings (aka honeydripping on ao3), the author copy! My copy is still sitting in my desk awaiting my latest crochet project’s completion XD

The illustrations were free from Heritage Library, a personal favorite source for images. The HTV was pretty challenging to weed but I think it turned out well enough. (I did notice the missing tittle in the author copy, seconds before I was about to seal it in an envelope—just in time for a quick fix!

More photos/commentary/stuff under the cut!

I have a new metadata page layout! I’m enjoying all the space. The chapter pages were tough to get aligned right—both the first and last content pages needed to be on odd pages, so I had to do some finagling. Got it done, though!

Some in-progress shots! I feel like I’ve gotten a lot more responsible lately, I’ve only just started labeling my boards XD

The ink drops endpapers are a godsend. Favorite collection of printed papers, easily. The next photo is the basic typeset—this one is set entirely in IM Fell Great Primer.

And finally, the open-down-the-middle shot, one I love to include. The spine throw! The way the boards nestle! And my most even endbands to date. And the way the paper lays so nicely, even though they’re short grain! Gorgeous!!

Crazy how many people want characters in fiction to speak and act like they’ve had 20 hours of intensive therapy. Could NOT be me I want these bitches fucked up insane
