Hear A Song This Deeply by so_shhy

Did I get everything I wanted to done for Binderary this year? Ahahahaha no. Life intervened and I most certainly did not. But you know when I DID finish books? Binderary 2023.

The typeset for this fic by @soshhy was a surprise gift to me from the inimitable @teleportbooks in the @renegadeguild 2022 exchange event. They know how much I love a good MDZS modern-with-magic AU! This is a singledad!WWX Wangxianfic, with some really creative worldbuilding around musical cultivation, and some great Lan brother character dynamics.

The cover is lokta mulberry fibre paper, and I do love the effect of using the raw edge overlapping the book cloth spine. Scrapbook paper endpapers came from a random pack scavenged out of my wife's art supplies, title and spine stencilled with gold acrylic paint.

Look at that typeset! Gorgeous. Thanks, E. Hyde!

people on my dash are annoying again and i'm tired of being a bitch about it so let me just say - if you read my fics and don't leave a comment, you're fine. it's fine. I'm not mad, I don't think you ungrateful, or an asshole, or whatever other guilt-trippy bullshit people spout here day in and day out. I post my stuff in the hopes of it bringing others joy, too, and yes of course comments bring me joy in return, but I don't think anyone owes them to me. if it brings you joy and i never know, if you "only" leave kudos, if you only lurk, if you literally never interact with me for literally whatever reason, it's fine. i promise. i love you. i hope the words bring you joy without there being any hang-ups about it <3

Ficbinding: Hear a Song This Deeply by so_shhy

I typeset this fic a year ago for @daemonluna for Renegade's typesetting exchange, and have finally gotten around to printing and binding a copy for myself.

This is one of my favorite modern cultivation AUs -- it revolves around Lan Wangji trying to recreate the Lan Sect's musical cultivation techniques from the past, which have been lost to history. For the typeset, I used some "sound wave" stock vectors, and drew a sort of music-staff-thing for the chapter headers (inspired by some imagery from the webcomic Girl Genius).

I wasn't sure what I wanted to do with the cover, which was part of why it took me so long to get around to it, but then I saw a paste paper cover design in an old bookbinding exhibition book and got inspired to do this. Paste paper is basically like fingerpainting but without the preschool associations. In this case I applied the paste in a gradient, and used a piece of chipboard I'd cut into a fork shape to make a wavy music staff. I think if I'd planned the whole book in one go, I'd have kept the musical notation to just the cover, and used a different chapter header, maybe a nice pic of instruments or something.

I decided to try marbling the page edges and ended up getting the book too wet, so the fore-edge is a little wrinkly inside. But it's still readable and I learned what not to do next time!

This ad got me to click out of pure bafflement because how would you even use that and why is it so cheap...?

I greatly misinterpreted both size and function. It's for catching fish.

I had this idea for a looping animation in which a single dot has a pretty long loop, but the animation as a whole is much shorter. Because of the repetition this animation is only 1 second long!
