Methods of Humanity by local_doom_void

This work has been in the making for almost a year, with me stopping several times because of grappling with J.K Rowling's increasing nastiness and how remaining in the HP fandom feels more and more yucky. But if there's one thing I really really dislike, it's an incomplete project. So this, Methods of Humanity by local_doom_void is my final salute to fanbinding Harry Potter fic, at least for the forseeable future.

This fic series has been on my to-bind list ever since I started to learn bookbinding. My idea for this is based on the journal Harry gave to Thomas Moregrave / Voldemort, and how the professor writes. As such, I sought to make this bind as minimalist as possible but elegant in form, with allowing some penmanship detail such as the story titles (subtly colored based on his moods and character).

To the side of every title page, I designed a graphic that evokes a magical matrix, with a QR code in the center that links to an archived version of the fic in the Wayback Machine.

As for the book itself, I decided to be a cheapskate for the covers and endbands. I used lazer-printed patterns of marbled paper for the covers, while the endbands were made from colored paper that were wrapped around some cord. I did add an oxford hollow at the spine, but I made it using some more scrap paper, which might be why it doesn't throw up the book spine as it should be. Whoops!

This book went through several stops and starts. I hope that, with this work now complete, I can finally let go of the weight it had on me and move on to something better.

Fanfic Rec #52 Tom Riddle/Harry Potter (Harry Potter) part 10

Impressions by Atlanta_Black & local_doom_void Years pass, and Harry Potter grows up thinking that he doesn't have a soulmate. After all, he's never seen anyone else with a scar spread so obvious across half their face. But life just couldn't be that easy

If You Can’t Say Anything Nice by duplicity In which Tom is terrible at socializing (and texting), but possesses a strong desire to have Harry say nice things about him. Harry regrets giving Tom his number, and then he doesn’t.

Blow Me (One Last Kiss) by rightonthelimit Harry has the most horrible boss ever. He’s demanding, rude, arrogant and selfish and the worst is… Harry is in love with him.

Want You Back by RenderedReversed Harry didn’t know if he wanted to laugh or cry. “Oh yeah, we go way back,” he said instead, quite a bit bitter without any sweet.“ Really? You two don’t seem to…” “Match?” The accompanying grin was foul. “Yeah. I guess that’s why we broke up in the first place.”

Enthralled by ObsidianPen “Do you know what it is like, to be bitten by a vampire?”
