DYMM Typesets

Did You Miss Me? is an absolute beast of a fic to even think about book-binding, but luckily for all its fans... one of its authors kinda sorta maybe does typesetting as a part of her day job.

I was always going to get around to this, but the new Are You There? @krethes wrote kicked my butt into gear, so here you go! A Google Drive link to a folder with two different PDF typesets of DYMM? and a Word document version of the same, all free for your use!

The two typesets differ in formatting only. One of them has smaller font sizes and reduced color to hopefully save you from killing your printer or your budget the way I did. If you can print 8.5x11" documents double-sided, you can just open the PDFs and print them straight as they are, double-sided flipped on the short edge, to get them already arranged in signatures of 16 pages, or 8 sheets of double-sided paper. If you want to try your hand at making changes, you can use the Word docs, however, you MUST use Word. Google Docs is simply not powerful enough for the styles I had to create to get even this close to the chat bubbles.

There are instructions included in the Google Drive folder. Go wild. Have fun. Mind your budgets. DYMM? is still an utter beast, but I hope these typesets can at least remove the most daunting aspect of the project!

Hello! Im new to this app so idk how it works lmao BUT! I adore DYMM? so much and ive just recently got into book binding. My friend said that you have already made typesets for them? Im still new to the book binding world and typesetting texts (with color no less!) seems like its gonna kill me🤣😅

I was wondering if:

1. If you were ok with me book binding it

2. If you actually did make the typesets

3. If youre comfy with sharing the (supposed) typesets with me so that I can hand bind them🥰 I wanted to use colored thread for each character like the texts and make it all cute and rainbow

If not, thats completely fine and I wont bind them i promise. I just really love that fic and id love to hold it in my hands like a real book.

<3

Hello! I got into book binding myself specifically to have a copy of DYMM I can hold in my hands like a real book! I DO have typesets for them... but I warn you now, they are full color and can be VERY expensive to print. All in all, they ended up being 8 volumes of ~400 pages each, and that’s not counting the pages I had to reprint because I wasn’t satisfied with the print quality.

I always planned on sharing the typesets, but I haven’t decided on the best formats. I do have some less-color formats, but I don’t have any full typesets of that format yet.

If you’re able to access the DYMM discord, there are some pictures of the finished set there. In the meantime, I’ll look into the formatting options I can knock out quickly.

Ok DYMM question that I ponder every time I reread it. How the fuck does Lily make evil tea? What does she DO to it? It's not that difficult to make a decent cup what is her secret?????

Ah yes, the most pressing question of the series 🤣🤣🤣

Truly...it's a mystery. She's brilliant, right, like big brain, boss babe, and yet... Mostly it's there to humanize her, but realistically she's steeping it too long, too hot, and all that tannic acid is making it gross. The grittiness is an aggressive squeezing of the teabag to "not waste anything".

At this point, she's a little too proud to admit she's wrong about THIS, even though deep down she's maybe a little aware 👀 But Remus gives her such crap, she's not going to just let him win 🤣. Good thing James can make a good cuppa. 😌

Audience

(This takes place in the universe of Did You Miss Me? by @krethes and @fantismal )

The rest of the audience filtered in around Remus as he settled into his seat. Some of them were talking excitedly about "Sisi's comeback", something Alice and the rest of the team had tried to squash as much as possible.

Lights flashed, then went down completely and Sirius walked into the mostly bare stage with his guitar. Thunderous applause broke out as soon as he was visible and he took a minute to smile and wave before sitting down on the stool and adjusting the mic before launching into his first song.

Remus was immediately caught up in Sirius's otherworldly beauty and voice as he sang one of the first songs he'd written on his own. It wasn't always easy to share his boyfriend with the world, but he was also so proud of him and wanted everyone to see how far he'd come.

The song finished and Sirius spoke into the mic. "Thank you. I'm so happy all of you could be here tonight. This next one goes out to someone special. It's called Walking in the Moonlight."

@wolfstarmicrofic

[fantismal]

I don't think I ever told anyone, not even Krethes, but this is exactly how Sirius would want to come back to public performing. Just him and a guitar and his own music. And it would all be sung to Remus (and James), who never missed a show.

[tremendouspolicestrawberry]

Soooooooo 

I did a thing because I absolutely loved reading DYMM a while back and the talk about the scars resonated deeply with me : so much that I felt like, for the very first time, that I wanted to actually complete and do something. 

A thousand thanx, flowers and chocolate to the lovely @krethes for beta reading and correcting my english! Thank you for the kind words and the encouragements! 

[krethes]

This is absolutely outstandingly beautiful. Every time new things are created for or inspired by Did You Miss Me?, I feel incredibly humbled and honored. Like…this…is…so good??? So powerful and poignant and it feels so real.

Thank you for this, you are a wonder!

[fantismal]

:O Oh my god whoa

Did You Miss Me?

E // 641K // Wolfstar, Jily, Frank/Alice, Mary/OFC // Textfic, Non-magical/University AU

Wowie wow wow wow, where do I begin? I read Did You Miss Me? by @krethes and @fantismal over the past week or so and my life is forever changed. This fic is proof that non-magical AUs still contain magic.

Clear your schedule for a few days. Just trust me.

DYMM is full of highs and lows, so many emotions that you'll just get swept along with because you'll be so entranced. I laughed, I cried. My heart clenched and my stomach dropped; I got that breathless rush of anticipation. You'll be right there in it.

The characterizations? Killer. You'll get everyone's distinct voices and you'll be absolutely obsessed with all of them by the time you're done. The story and the pacing leave absolutely zero room for dull moments; this is definitely one where you'll be telling yourself "just one more chapter" at 3AM on a work night.

There are so many great nods to canon, too- it's sort of like being part of a special club, where the authors are sitting next to you, ready for a nudge and a secret smile when you spot it.

And the smut, friends? Is FIRE. Never have I ever read more gorgeous phone sex. If you have even an ounce of doubt, trust me: it'll be squashed SO FAST. "Remus Lupin's Non-Existent Refractory Period" is probably now my all-time favorite tag. It hits hard and fast and often and phew... FIRE, I SAY.

Ugh, this is one of those fics where I wish I could Obliviate myself and start all over again fresh. It's 1,000,000% worth the time and dedication it'll take to read this mammoth. Add it to your TBR list immediately, and come shout in my DMs (or the DYMM Discord!) if you start it!

Read on AO3!

[krethes]

What a gorgeous rec!! 😍 Thank you!!

Sirius’s Serenade

(This scene came out of a discussion on Discord about Sirius’s voice in Did You Miss Me? by @fantismal and @krethes)

“Lily, what’s your favorite song?” Sirius asked, grinning. 

Lily looked from Sirius to James like this was a trap. “Oh Sirius, you don’t have to- ” she started. 

“Never mind, I know one.” Sirius said. “James, can I borrow your phone?” James handed his phone over and Sirius searched for a moment before he found what he wanted. Then he pushed the ottoman into the middle of the living room and adjusted the lights. 

James had this small, fond smile as he watched Sirius set his stage. Perching on the ottoman, he winked at Remus but turned toward Lily. He hit play on James’ phone and the intro began playing.

“The snow glows white on the mountain tonight…” he began. Lily gasped and James started laughing quietly. Remus wondered if impromptu concerts were  a common occurrence in their dorm at Durmstrang.

The song began to build. Even though Remus knew Sirius was a famous pop star, he was not prepared for the wall of sound that was Sirius’s voice. It was rich, strong, effortless. Remus was dumbstruck. 

When the song was over, they all applauded and Sirius gave an exaggerated bow. Remus just stared at him as Sirius climbed into his lap. “You’re amazing.” Remus murmured, pulling him close. Sirius gave him one of his dazzling smiles in return. 

“That wasn’t for you. This is for you. I wrote it on Halloween." 

Sirius began to sing softly so only Remus could hear. He heard James and Lily leave the room, but he couldn’t look away from Sirius’s mesmerizing face. If he hadn’t already fallen hard for him, Remus would have at this moment. 

[fantismal]

The very best readers!

[fantismal]

Hey there!! I was reading Did You Miss Me? and listening to music and I know that Sirius is a more of pop-vibe on this fic, but the song “James” by AnnenMayKantereit started to play and now I can only see it as a “Sirius trying to find Jim and to get to him after he found out what his family accused him of doing to Reggie” angsty tune

I dunno if someone has already said this, it’s a great song that I hadn’t connected to the fic yet, just wanted to share lol

Hope u are having a great day/night and thank you (and @krethes) for the great fic!!

Thank you for this suggestion! It’s very fitting, yeah! I’m glad you’re enjoying DYMM!

[fantismal]

All the flowers. You deserve all the flowers too.

I dunno if I’ve ever actually made my own post on this account but… Hi friends! I’ve been doing some (kinda different from my usual type) art recently! These are all for an incredible fic called Did You Miss Me? by @krethes and Fantismal over on AO3 that everyone should definitely check out! I’m pretty proud of how I’ve been pushing my art & the fic is amazingly written (if a bit dark! - make sure you read the tags) Anywhooo maybe someday I’ll post more of the art I’ve done. 

[krethes]

Truly, I am astounded by a) the speed in which this art is done and b) like, the quality?? Just…mind blown.

Also c) that ANYONE wants to make art for a fic I wrote. I’m humbled with every new fanwork that comes into existence, and thank you @themattimouse for creating such gorgeous pieces for us to feast our eyes on.

If there is anyone actually left in the Wolfstar fandom who is NOT reading “Did You Miss Me” by Fantismal and Krethes, you need to run, not walk, and read it right now.

[fantismal]

Just coming in here too, to express my admiration and all that fuzzy stuff for DYMM? Really like, I am having a blast reading this. (Oh and I am enjoying Snape and that is a rare thing for me in fics. Not because he is a lovely guy™, but because he is written so GOOD. I am laughing out loud because of his parts all the time. What a mess he is.) Yeah, anyways. Thank you. And now I must go back to reading.

Ah, thank you so much! I'm glad you're enjoying this fic so much, even/especially Snape. He's horrible, but it's not easy to write horrible GOOD, so I love when people recognize how interesting he is to the dynamic of the group!
