GUYS WTF IS GOING ON WHY ARE PEOPLE SELLING BOUND FANFIC ON TIKTOK WHAT IS HAPPENING
DO 👏 NOT 👏 BUY 👏 BOUND 👏 FANFICS 👏 IF 👏 THE 👏 AUTHOR 👏 DIDN'T 👏 GIVE 👏 PERMISSION 👏
Please. Just don't. Looking at you Etsy 👀
Faeted has been bound!!
So I was recently contacted by @brunheiffer, a member of a group called Renegade Bindery, who had bound themself a gorgeous copy of my Faeted Good Omens AU trilogy and wondered if I might like a copy as well.
After I picked my jaw up off the floor --because their bindings were GORGEOUS and I can't believe there's a group of people who just DO this for fanfic authors whose works have meant something to them--I said yes please and they've been working hard behind the scenes ever since to get me a set of my very own.
Well they arrived and I am *over the moon*.
They are so amazing! Gorgeous covers. Placeholder ribbons with little gems!
It gets even better once you open it. First, there are sparkly endplates and I adore them.
Y'all, look at this. A real table of contents. And a title page with the art I used online!
And the actual layout is gorgeous. I've seen small press novels that aren't laid out this nicely, with big wide margins and gorgeous text and these wonderful little curlicues on each chapter.
I can't believe the amount of work that went into laying this out. This was no small task. And all my author's comments at the end of each chapter were lovingly moved to an appendix. Hours. Days. Weeks of work. I have no idea, but I know it was a lot.
Lots of fun little details too, like a list of other works I've done at the front, and then a sweet little page at the back of each volume where they incorporated some praise from actual comments people left on the stories on AO3. ( @izabella95 look, you’re in here!)
It's the nicest, coolest thing anyone has ever done for me and I'm just simply overwhelmed and helplessly in love with these books, and this group, and the lovely person who did this for me.
They will eventually go live on a shelf, but right now I'm so enamored with them that I can't stop looking at them or touching them so they are living on my writing desk, right next to my Crowley and Aziraphale snake plushies, so that I can see them and be inspired to write even more.
@brunheiffer , you literally made my day, month, even possibly my year by doing this. Thank you so, so much! As someone who's been off writing novels and trying to get an agent to publish one of them for the last 2.5 years, it's such a pick me up to be reminded that there are people out there who know my online stories and were moved by them!
If you'll excuse me, I think I have to go flip through one of these again.
I bound a fanfic. I don’t think Carnival_Papers is on Tumblr anymore but I love this fic so much and I go to read it often.
I wanted to make my mark on it and own it forever.
It’s a Kylo x Hux from star wars fic, it’s delightful
