Hiiii, i absolutely adore your book binding and i was wondering if you might have a typeset of Harry Potter and the welcome to the world of grey? For personal use only ofc :)

Hi there! Thank you for kind words! I don’t have a typeset for this fic, because I hadn’t heard about it until now. It’s going on the top of my TBR and I may end up typesetting it as I read it, pending permission from the writer @sobsicles 💕

Binders: If anyone has an existing typeset they are willing to share, please let user know or comment below! Or please let me know if you happen to know writer’s binding policy 💕

In case anyone else is interested in reading: Harry Potter and the World of Grey by @sobsicles

Synopsis: When Harry fails to keep his anger at bay and Voldemort possesses his mind, the events that follow lead him down a long road to realizing the world isn't as black and white as it seems.

Chaos, hilarity, and tragedy ensue with a Dark Lord being honest all the time, a rival becoming something else, and a world demanding to be saved. Featuring frightened Death Eaters, deep conversations with a monster, Pureblood traditions being ridiculous, and the fight to do the right thing with no true options.

Harry's life just gets more and more bizarre with each passing moment.

Or, the one where Harry's life gets split in half, and he has to figure out how to bring it back together.

Look at this beauty!

I made a thing! As a slightly late 1 year anniversary of the greatest album of all time release, I present you with

The Tortured Poets Department lyrics book

📋 typeset by the lovely @sayornispress 📖 bind by me (I still can't believe I did it!!!!) 👩🏻‍🏫 technical binding info and inspo from @phoenixortheflame, @wisewitchbindery and memoru (the last one is a Polish resource!)

This is a fanbind of the TTPD lyrics by Taylor Swift, made for personal use only. The typeset is made to mirror the official lyrics videos which is SO.COOL!

It will be a gift to a friend who introduced me to Taylor's music 🤍

My rambling about it under the cut below!

oh

my

god, I'm so excited!!!!! This is a very first bind that I share with an audience of more than 1 internet person so please be gentle with me haha

I only found out about what binding is and how AWESOME it is by fanfic binders here on tumblr. I do plan on ficbinding in the future so watch that space!! Honestly, having those beloved words on paper rather than your phone screen is just SO PRECIOUS.

It's actually my second bind. The first one is honestly still just so close to my heart I haven't shared it with the Internet yet, maybe in some time :') As I am just a beginner this bind has maaaany flaws - I didin't get the format right, trimming my text block with an old photo trimmer was a Bad Idea™, I printed the photo on the wrong end of the canvas so I had to just glue it on :D And so on and so on, but I'm gonna learn from these mistakes when creating the next one!!! For the things that did work out: I wanted the theme colours to be the colours of TTPD on the Eras Tour so white, black and gold. I used the plainest cream canvas available, with just a white and black photo on the cover, gold lettering on the spie and a lil sticker on the back. For endpapers I printed my favourite quotes from the songs and then foiled it. AND I managed to sew with a non-wax thread without crying too!

I had the ambition of starting from the very beginning - so making a typeset myself. And then I lost my patience about half an hour in and decided to stick to ready typesets first :D

Now, for the Taylor contents! I absolutely love the concept of lyrics videos, they just make the words really hit you, you know? So when I saw Phoebe very kindly sharing the Taylor typesets they made - I may have screamed a little :D And I absolutely knew that it will be a gift to a fellow Swiftie - a friend whose fault it is I am in this Taylor Swift-shaped madness since last year!

My Swiftie story is pretty new really - I liked Taylor, sure, I liked how kind she was, I liked her mainstream songs, absolutely loved how she DEVASTATED me with Safe and Sound back in my The Hunger Games era. But I didn't really know her other songs or much about her. And then Ela took me to the cinema to see The Eras Tour and well. Here we go, some months later and I am still going on and on about the brilliance of it. I got to see it life in Warsaw, which was a life-altering experience and couldn't get it out of my head ever since.

Hence, the literal studies of the lyrics :D

It really is a special moment for me because I dreamed of learning how to bind your own book. And it really is a full-circle kind of situation. Why? Well, because going to see the Eras Tour life made me believe dreams do come true - so chase them! So I went to bookbinding workshop, bought the materials and here we are!

🆘 𝗯𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗯𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀 — 𝗜 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘄𝗶𝘀𝗱𝗼𝗺!

🙊But first — I loved this fic. In a few really rough months, it brought such genuine joy. Highly recommend reading 𝗢𝗠𝗚! 𝗜 𝗝𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗚𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗚𝘂𝘆𝘀 by @rogue_roxy_writes if you haven’t already — it’s laugh-out-loud funny and soul-soothing in the best way.

𝙉𝙤𝙬 𝙤𝙣𝙩𝙤 𝙢𝙮 𝙗𝙤𝙤𝙠𝙗𝙞𝙣𝙙𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙘𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙨 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙝𝙚𝙡𝙥:

1️⃣ 𝗪𝗿𝗮𝗽 𝗰𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗺𝘆 𝗻𝗲𝗺𝗲𝘀𝗶𝘀. Self-laminating sheets? Chaos. If you’ve cracked the code for sealing photo paper without lamination, please drop your recommendations — I’m begging.

2️⃣ 𝗘𝗻𝗱𝗯𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘀… 𝗵𝗼𝘄?? I can’t seem to get the bead shape right. No matter what I do, they end up looking messy and uneven. If you’ve got tips, tricks, or even a good tutorial, I’m all ears.

💕 Also — huge thanks to @brb.binding for the delightful typeset. The illustrations seriously elevate the whole experience!

[wisewitchbindery]

🍎𝗔𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝘀𝗺𝘂𝘁𝘁𝘆 𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘁 𝗯𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘂𝗽 𝗺𝘆 𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗮𝗽𝘀—this time with lessons learned! ✂️ The typeset fits exactly one double-sided page, but note to self:

1️⃣ Don’t trim page edges before folding (uneven white space, as seen here).

2️⃣ Always use a sharp knife for clean cuts.

Always obsessed with @phoenixortheflame’s binds

Bound: The Favourites: A @mallstars Anthology

Typeset and bound by: me, @phoenixortheflame. Featuring art by: @basiatlu, @appleslightning, @reliand, @itsphantasmagoria, @faiell

Here's a little tidbit you should know about me: The first Drarry I ever read was Save the Date by mallstars. I had listened to a few before that, but the first one I actually downloaded to my e-reader and read front to back was STD.

It captivated me. It made me feel things. And it kicked off a record-breaking year of reading nearly 3 million words of Drarry fanfic.

Needless to say, I have a soft spot for mall and their work. And I'd seen a lot of binds of "Save the Date" and "Cut From the Sky," but not their other works. So.. enter the anthology.

I'm a big science fiction fan, so my designs kept skewing that genre. It didn't help that @basiatlu made this epic artwork, which she created in collaboration with mall for their sci-fi AU piece, Blood Orange.

I had already decided on a colour palette: orange, purple, and lavender (don't ask me why), and Bosh was an absolute legend to offer to adjust the colours of her original art to match. (Ty, Bosh!)

It was my first time using printable canvas as a wrap cover, and though there were a few, "oh, fuck" moments, ultimately it turned out really well, and I'll absolutely be doing it again.

I had planned not to do a dust jacket and instead apply the fic titles and anthology title directly onto the canvas with HTV. But then I got scared as shit that I would melt the canvas, and so I chose to leave the cover blank - and, honestly? - I'm super happy I did, because it really showcases the art.

Speaking of art... the typeset is brimming with it. From top-left we have art from @appleslightning, @reliand, @itsphantasmagoria, and @faiell.

The rest of the typeset is heavily influenced by science fiction aesthetic, as you can see with the fonts and my frankly excessive use of gradients. (Take a guess at how many ink cartridges I blew through.)

And the colour palette continued through to the bind itself in the end papers, as well as the end bands and speckled edges, which I achieved using acrylic ink and a toothbrush (thanks to @maleekamolscreates for holding my hand through the process!)

As always, I added a cheeky barcode.

I literally cannot help myself.

It's a line from one of my favourite mallstars one-shots, Birthright, in which Draco is a kleptomaniac. It's romantic! Really!

Also on the dust jacket flap is a buncha nice stuff people have said about mall and their work. (Looking at you, @fastbrother, @smehur, @desertforestfic, @tripably, @garagepaperback, @kk1smet.)

I hope you love it, mall!

💕 Wrapping up the month of love with this smutty little number. If you haven’t read Good by @lovesbitca8 , run—literally run. This masterpiece was written over four years, with many chapters being released each Valentine’s Day.

💕 This was my second time making my own endbands, and the process is slowly becoming easier (at least I feel like I have a better understanding of it). Cover is faux leather and silver/rose gold HTV.

Typeset by me: @wisewitchbindery

Incredible cover art by @marisajart and @viticula. Lovely typeset art by @lepra-art .

🫶🏼 Reminder to keep fanfic free—this was handmade by me for my personal collection. This fic is free to read on AO3 here. You will need an AO3 account as this fic is locked.
