dissertation supervisor: so you’ll have 3 months to write your dissertation, which may seem like a long time, but I want to impress upon you that these will be the most important 15,000 words you’ve written in your life”

lmao. “most important words you’ve written in your life” someone obviously doesn’t know about the 1,510,266 words I’ve published on ao3 about my blorbos 🙄🤪

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 Ask for outdated textbooks (those covers are built like tanks) or three-ring binders that are too busted to be binders anymore.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.

me, with totally normal levels of brainrot: wow i just read this NYT article about how the ultra-rich are now dressing in shades of beige and tan and brown because it's gauche to be seen as rich and look expensive these days in flamboyant colors

my friend: cool

me: yeah!

my friend:

me:

me: so the jedi also traditionally dress in shades of beige and tan and brown so what about an au where a jedi master lands on a planet where the rich and privileged wear these colors and they're mistaken for--

my friend: its like youre speaking a different language all of a sudden

BACK UP YOUR WORK---YES, make physical copies. KEEP offline resources. KEEP your landline. CARRY CASH. DON'T get important appliances that RUN ON WIFI (like cars, refrigerators, thermostats, etc). LEARN TO READ A PAPER MAP
