Some quick finished shots before I had hustled this book off to the post office. It was for a Valentine's secret craft exchange run by @whitehareknits and I only finished it just in time to get it delivered before Valentine's. This one is a multi-fandom collection of stories featuring stories they had written and some of their favorites by other writers.

Here’s the prompts list for the 2021 GHHQ Fanworks event: 

Naru lives in Gene’s shadow even after he’s gone. Submitted by @eyeliner-vampire 

 Kotatsu  Submitted by @csakuras

Hypnotic Songs of a Glass Harmonica   Submitted by @sprghosthunter

“Just as Mai has a high susceptibility to get hurt through supernatural dangers, Lin has an innate tendency to get stuck in awkward situations.“  Submitted by Anonymous

Yasuhara forces Mai to confess to Naru by hitting on Naru himself.  Submitted by Anonymous

dinosaurs/Jurassic Park  Submitted by Anonymous

dream body swap. Humor/canon compliant. If impossible to focus on everyone, it must at least focus on Monk and Yasuhara, please! During a case, the spirit messes with their memories so that the team enters a shared dream and somehow find themselves in each other’s bodies. They must re-live a case we’ve actually seen in anime/manga, but they don’t know another person is also trapped in their body. They have to finish the dream faithfully trying to act as each other, but as the dream goes on, they realize something’s just a little off and they start to wonder. Submitted by @seoulsborne123

Bridgerton style romance!  Submitted by Anonymous

“jibaku shounen hanako-kun/toilet bound hanako-kun” AU   Submitted by Anonymous

Fantasy AU's      Submitted by @books-tea-ghosts

ghost hunt but make it buzzfeed unsolved!AU (it can be with or without Gene being alive) i think that would be entertaining    Submitted by Anonymous

A Phantom Brave and Ghost Hunt crossover? I always thought Marona’s ability was cool and curious to see how the group would react. Submitted by @elizabethchelly

A Deemo inspired fic w/ the twins! Highly recommend listening to the music. Submitted by Anonymous

Gimme a Lin-centric story that shows our favorite stoic onmyoji getting into some sort of trouble. He’s always shown as being this perfectly responsible adult. Surely he has flaws. Bonus points if it deals with a whirlwind/short lived romance with a female character (either established or OC.) Submitted by @aeternus0flamma

Fiction Prompt: Haunted Island Mansion Case. Cursed Artifact. Masako in danger on a case. Lin exploration…a whole case from his perspective. Submitted by @crystalrmartin-moondaisuki 

Art Prompt: Mai/Naru embracing  Submitted by @crystalrmartin-moondaisuki 

Art Prompt: The whole group silly family style  Submitted by @crystalrmartin-moondaisuki 

Art Prompt: Mai/Naru with children  Submitted by @crystalrmartin-moondaisuki

Keep reading

Adorable !!!!!

[gesu-ko]

An accurate summary of chapter 271.

[amynchan]

Such accuracy

[rmnitb]

test print! the other version of this cover looks a looooot better tho, i just don't have the ink for it HAHAHA

update— volume 2 is still in the works, but volumes 1 and 3 are finished!! will release all three volumes at the same time when they're done ✨

[rmnitb]

tried my hand at binding today. it was easy to bind volume 3 since it was thin, but boy volume 1 took me 2 hours to bind. (it was mostly just bc im dumb at following directions, you guys can probably do this under 30 minutes)

i've been so used to having all the zines i make printed at a shop near my uni—i just had to give them my flash drive, then they'll do all the printing and cutting and binding for me—but oh how rewarding an experience it is to do it yourself. there is, however, a long-arm-stapler-shaped void in my heart now.

when we release the ghost hunt short story collection, i'll include a few links to binding tutorials so you all can do it at home, too. tho if you have a long-arm stapler lying around, you might want to just use that; it'll make you're life much easier.
