do NOT sort by kudos the real play is to find the most prolific writers in the hockey rpf tag and go to their profile to see if they’ve written a single bizarrely high-quality fic for the fandom you’re actually looking for
Fanbinding(ish): Good Omens by Terry Pratchett & Neil Gaiman
(More photos below the cut, and I'll add the rest in another reblog.)
I had the idea for this four years ago. I actively started on the typeset about two years ago. I finished the typeset in about two weeks before the NG news broke--in fact I'd sent him an ask on tumblr just before he left, asking him if there's an explanation for Good Omens's inconsistent dropcaps. Maybe I'll ask the publisher.
Anyway! I almost didn't keep going, but I'd already put an insane amount of hours into the typeset, and also, fuck it. So I did it mostly for me, but also for Terry Pratchett, and also for the vine.
For those who aren't familiar, a red-letter Bible is one where everything Jesus says is in red. I thought it would be funny to do one where everything the antichrist says is in red--and then I also thought it would be funny to do pull-out quotes like my Catholic Youth Bible had, and then I thought, why stop there, and that's when things started to get weird. Trying to get the text to line up coherently around the trees and the mountains especially was delicate--and of course if I changed something on the page before it would throw everything out of whack.
The cover was inspired by those giant Bibles with covers that are an inch thick with a cross or something like that debossed in the middle. The text wasn't long enough to make it that thick, but it's two layers of thin board glued together. Leather on top, and then I used a foil quill to do most of the design--anything that's a circle is a brass stamp.
I make the design on Illustrator, and then had the cricut trace it onto the foil with a sharpie. I found that a lot more effective than printing it out and trying to do the foil quill through the paper stencil. I'll let you try and guess what shape I used instead of a cross, and will put the answer under the cut.
Doing gold page edges was a bitch and a half; I sanded off attempts about a dozen times. Fake gold was a bust; so was heat activated foil. I ended up doing one layer of acrylic paint and about five layers of gold acrylic.
And because I got this a lot about My Immortal: no, I'm not going to share the typeset. Even before Everything, I feel fine justifying this because I own the paperback, the deluxe edition hardback, the DVD, the script book, and the coffee table book. But I'm not actually into book piracy. (Unless you are the Terry Pratchett estate, in which case, sharing is caring.)
I'll do another reblog with the rest of the interior images.
(And for those who were looking for it: the cover is, of course, the dread symbol Odegra/the M25 motorway.)
No idea if this is a good idea or not, but since I’ve been jumping around between these three fics so much (and am making an honest effort to TRY and work on one at a time)…
Which of my fics would you like to see updated soonest?
Is this (third gif) an expression you've written about in any of your fics, @thirdeyeblue?????? (And if not I don't think there's anyone I trust more to do so)
@ineffable-resurrectionists I completely missed this reblog 😱 Good god, you are such a gem!
I know I regularly allude to the Doctor quirking/piquing/otherwise arching an eyebrow, but whether I've capitalized on this exact expression much... Hmmm. I'm not sure! I'm working on the conclusion to Fated to Stay as we speak, so I'll be taking that into consideration 💖
(Thank you so much for your wonderful tags, by the way!)

Although—I can definitely hook you up with some recs from other people who not only get them, but are way better writers than I am!
Selected somewhat randomly from the deep pages of my bookmarks (as in: this is like a pinch out of a sea, but I need to get back to writing, so I only grabbed a few 😂) IN NO ORDER, btw
