My personal goal is to try and make fanfic binding as accessible to everyone as possible, so here are some resources on how to make a fanfic hardcover for under $25.

This is a barebones bind for the broke college students and such. Happy to field questions, too!

Here's a proposed budget breakdown:

Loosely organized thoughts:

Fanfic bookbinders often share typesets amongst each other. Never pay for a typeset for a fanfic.

You'll hear a lot about grain direction for your printer paper, but as a newbie on a budget without your own printer, settle for some nice 92 bright paper. If you like the hobby, splurge after but expect to pay at least 2-3x more for short grain paper.

Printing is a pain because some copy shops won't let you print intellectual property smut, and it's very expensive. You are better off bartering instead or looking for a free printer on Buy Nothing.

You know the thick paper wrapping that comes with online orders? It's a good weight for endpapers if you need to scrounge. Paper grocery bags or gift bags (birthday presents) might work, too.

Ask your local library to give you covers from books they are throwing out. Ask for outdated textbooks (those covers are built like tanks) or three-ring binders that are too busted to be binders anymore.

Obtain a used book that was mass produced (so your destruction of it does not impede anyone's access) and maybe even become a little vindictive with it.

If you can afford it, I recommend the Olfa SVR knife (~$10)

If you can afford it, upgrade your ruler to a t-square.

I really hope this resource is helpful! I want to stress how possible this is and encourage people to cherish what they love through art.

If you are interested in fanfic binding and have a little more disposable income, I have an affordable Fan Fiction Bookbinding Starter Pack that I carry on my site. I pack them myself and drop them 1x/month on the 15th.

Who are you?

something something both Jason and Roy having sniper's eyes, too-sharp eyes, that "I look at everything like it's a target" vibe that perhaps only Oliver's archer's eyes can match

All I’ve retained from your pretty boy Jason and related posts… Jason should be on Grindr

They’d LOVE his ass it might even solve some self esteem issues idk

WAIT YES I SEE THE VISION

he'd have the most mediocre profile because he really only made this account to shut roy up but somehow his inbox is constantly blowing up. turns out it's because roy stole his phone and uploaded the most revealing and somehow flattering photos of him in existence-- photos that jason did not take, might he add. jason didn't think it was possible for people to get this horny about his fucking thighs. and they're calling his chest "tits" ?!? roy and artemis have the best time laughing at his red face.

and not to be a downer but he's been convinced his whole life that he's unattractive, so to suddenly receive so many compliments about his physical appearance overwhelms him to the point of crying

I could not have asked for a more in-depth and thorough answer. Thank you SO much for taking the time to write this, share your thoughts and provide such fantastic examples. I look at your work and can just feel the attention to flow, line of action, balance and the way the composition influences the way I feel about them.

mthere’s a reason your art stands out so much and it’s partly because all these principles come together so harmoniously. But within those boundaries I can just feel such a sense of life and playfulness. It’s just so damn nice.

Composition is one of those things that I’ve neglected but only recently I started cluing into how much it dictates the way characters are perceived. I know it seems obvious but I was always the “sketch a bunch of characters floating around in my sketchbook” person. I never did thumbnails or planned. Even something as simple as considering your frame and /working within that frame/aspect ratio to balance it/ SEEMS obvious but absolutely isn’t for someone like me. 😅

again I seriously can’t thank you enough for sharing your knowledge here. I look at your art all the dang time and I’m like why is my brain so happy seeing this. I’m gonna nom on this post for a while.

I freaking LOVE your art dood. It’s so damn lively and zingy and engaging and really genuinely stands out. It’s such a delight to look at,

I went through your asks and really appreciated you sharing your artistic influences.

I have an artist question I gotta ask.

How do you go about planning your compositions/arrangements? Like it’s one thing to just draw ship art but I noticed your /compositions/ are really strong and consistently visually interesting. They have a great energy to them,

and I was wondering if you had any tips or could share the things you thing about when you’re arranging those boys on the page, It’s something I really felt stood out!

Thank you!

I want to give you good examples  but my art changes a lot depending on the projects I work on so, apologies if the style differences are a bit jarring xD

Here’s the things I think about the most when it comes to composition.

-INTENTION

I find that choosing a specific feeling or little story I want to convey trough the drawing helps giving it focus.

Ask yourself, how do I want the characters to be perceived?

Is there a conflict, a relationship? What are they feeling, physically and emotionally? How is the environment affecting them?

Every answer can help you choose things like the camera angle, the poses, and the placement of each element.

Want a character to feel helpless? > when we’re looking down on them, that feeling is dialled up. When we’re looking up to them on the other hand, they look in charge. 

Are they being subdued by another character?>  You can convey that by giving them a hunched posture, or putting them physically below their oppressor if the environment allows it. The way one touches the other (or doesn't) can also tell a million things.

-DIRECTION

I think art looks best when it has flow to it, and this is also something where intention helps you make the right choices.

I highly recommend reading Mike Mattesi’s “FORCE” book series on the subject.

The direction of your character’s energy and movement is dictated by “lines of action” (actual concept that you can research!);

If you keep them in mind during the sketching process your final piece will look much more dynamic, and you can harness this energy to guide the focus of the art.

Shadows and lights work similarly: your eye is naturally drawn where the light is is more intense, while concealing elements with shadows will make them look ambiguous and mysterious… you can use that!

-BALANCE

Hard for me to explain, but experiencing lots of good art will definitely give you a feel for it.

You want your arrangement to fill the canvas in a pleasing way;

Pushing too many elements on one side will make the piece feel unbalanced, but spreading them too evenly might feel boring…  you want a little movement, but not to an unpleasant degree.

My personal tips: know  the aspect ratio of your canvas and work with it.  If characters are making the piece lean too much on one side, use background elements to balance it out on the other. Make thumbnails!

I also block out the silhouettes during the sketching progress, it gives me a clearer idea of the area that is being covered and how the “puzzle pieces” fit together :)

I hope this helps! I actually think about these 3 things a lot for the coloring process as well, but I’m not confident enough with color theory to make a post about it haha. 

The two posts with my influences are here and here!
