Detail shots of technical differences on Bionic Battle Granny the book and the clamshell box.

First up the inlay on the clamshell vs the onlay on the book.

The inset leather is (almost) even and level with the covering leather.

The onlay, though buffed and slightly rounded a bit along the edges, still adds visibly on the covering material. (Which is not a flaw! it's just the way onlays work.) The onlays were also part of why I decided to make the clamshell, the edges of the onlay could take damage when shoven between other books and in any case they'd be more susceptible to wear. Another reason was light and dust protection.

(I have no idea how to translate this, perhaps indrawn corners vs. cut corners would work best. Anyhow... )

Another part that differs are the corners. On the book I cut material off, pared the rest thinly and folded a tiny ledge over to cover the corner thoroughly (see the first two pictures). On the clamshell I cut some of the material off as well, but not closer to the corner. The remaining material of the turn-ins got pulled over the corner so there's only intact leather there. The downside of this is, there is too much material and it will set in folds even if spread as evenly as possible over the board. Those folds can be hammered down though and having the turn-ins pared thin helps too.

I honestly think Anuna wanted to fight with you. She's been going into people's posts any time they're negative about AOS and where Ward's story is heading. She seems annoyed any time people don't agree with her so I truly think she just wanted to pick a fight with you. I honestly I think you should ignore her for now. Also who the hell is Ozhwak or whatever to be budging into thi?

Ozhawk is someone who I used to interact with on a regular basis. She has her own opinions and is not a fan of SWW or Skyeward Shippers (though she’s generally a civil person) and she’s not one of the diehard Ward Haters or the truly nasty people some SWW-people have to deal with (despite what some people on the SWW side of things think, from what they’ve said), overall. She has some interesting and unique points of view.She was blocked by Anuna a while ago after some pretty heated talks between myself, Ozhawk and others on all sides if the issue about something in terms of fic tagging, and then I was blocked by Ozhawk after I unloded on her unfaily in a nasty and entirely uncalled for post.  A post by Anuna was then rebloged by Andartha with commentary, and then Ozhawk (who follows Andartha), for whatever reason, decided to look into this debate, having a ‘low opinion’ of both of us (myself and Anuna, I mean). Honeslty, I’m not sure why she felt the need to get involved, but w/e. She has the right. I didn’t have to reply to her ask.Ozhawk is an interesting person, and if you can be civil when facing her perspective (which is not without merit) on Ward, SWW, AoS’s writers and AoS in general, she’s worth talking to and having discussions with. She’s a smart, generally decent person with interesting ideas and takes on things in the show and in the fandom. And if you’re a fan of weird, odd-ball pairings in the MCU, her crackship Armada, which sets out to pair characters in the MCU and the Marvel comics who have never had MCU screentime together is well written. She also writes non-crackship fics, usually pairing Skye with Brock Rumlow (redeemed), becasue she has a strange interest in the character of Brock Rumlow that I will never understand (though its entirely her right) or sometimes other characters. Her fics are rarely Ward-friendly, as she has said (or at least, said back when I followed her before she blocked me), she uses Ward as the villain or a villainous character because somebody needs to be the villain (and because while she aknowledges how what Ward has been through shaped him, she doesn’t generally think Redemption is possible at this point, and last time I talked extensively about Ward to her, had serious questions about Ward’s sanity). That’s all her right.If you can read and enjoy her choices of pairings, plot points and characterization, she’s a great writer worth checking into. Just don’t flame her, because whatever she writes, she doesn’t deserve that. Like I said, a pretty decent person.

Ozhawk here, Alkeni. I saw Andartha reblog something about you and Anuna and came by both your blogs to check it out. As someone who frankly has a fairly low opinion of both of you, I have to say that Anuna has the right of it. You were the one attacking her opinions, not the other way around. She asked you to stop and you didn't. Your trolling behaviour got you blocked by me, and now it's got you blocked by someone respected within SWW. I'd suggest you take a long hard look at your choices.

I didn’t attack her opinions, I disagreed with them and the way she was presenting them. Nor did I say she attacked mine, per se.What I did was reblog a post OP’d by someone else and I didn’t reblog it from them. They asked me to stop talking to THEM about it (and specifically to stop reblogging their posts), and that is what I did. I don’t see how I ‘disrespected her boundaries’. What exactly in particular did I do that is ‘trolling’, here? (Or, for that matter, with you. I just thought you blocked me because I was rather nasty in the post that precipitated. Because I was, I’ll admit, and largely unjustifiably so) You’re using the term incorrectly, I think. Trolling is being a jackass for the intent of sparking negative reactions because they thrive on it (see ‘feeding the troll’). I’m not doing that. I might be being a jackass - I didn’t think I was that bad in the post in question, but it is a subjective thing - and that’s an ongoing thing I work on, but I wasn’t trying to spark negative reactions. If enjoying the cut and thrust of debate and discussion and arguement and wanting to respond to particular points made by a person is ‘trolling’ now, then we’ve really expanded the definition.Now, this isn’t to say I couldn’t have done things better, having had time to step back from it and having talked it out with people, there are a number of things I’d like to have done differently that would have been better and more respectful of Anuna’s wishes (though I still don’t see how I was disrespectful of her wishes, but please, feel free to explain it to me. Please. Seriously). I’m not saying my hands are clean here, which is why I explicitly asked people if I was being unreasonable - I’m hardly the best judge of my own reasonability - no one is of their own reasonability. What I do have to wonder is why you felt the need to step into this discussion. As you say, you have low opinions of both of us (I didn’t know you still had specific issues with me, and I did apologize some time ago, though I grasp you probably never saw it, having blocked me and all. The Apology.) Since I have you here, and since I presume you’re going to check my blog at some point in the near future to read my reply, I’m going to say it again. I’m sorry for what I said to you, how I said it and the way I said it. I didn’t have to make that post and I really shouldn’t have. I realized that not long after the blocking, though it took me some time to decide to make the apology post and to find the best way to make that apology.I’m sorry. What I said was entirely uncalled for. Whether or not you decide to accept the apology or whatnot is up to you. I was very nasty and you don’t have to unblock me even if you did accept it in whole or in part. I would like to at least get rid of any bad blood, because I actually do respect you and think you’re most of the time a pretty damn decent person and probably one of the better people in the fandom, overall.What I really don’t get is why you’re on Anon. I didn’t block you, at least as far as I can remember, because I have no real problem with you. Can you not send non-anon asks to people you’ve blocked? Is that a part of Tumblr? I’ve never tried, so I wouldn’t know. My first thought would be this isn’t actually you, but this does sound like you - a largely civil post with a style and wording that sounds like you and the way you write, so probably you. You can do Anon if you want, I suppose. I just don’t get it.

I was not attacking Anuna, and at no point in our earlier discussions was I setting out to shame her or make her apologize for having the opinions she had. I made an effort to respect the boundaries she’d set, and when she blocked me and made unfounded (from my perspective) accusations against me about what I did and why I did it, I then responded to them. You’re entitled to your take on what happened, and again, I may well have been a jackass there. But I wasn’t trolling, and there’s something… really unnessarily passive agressive about suggesting I take a ‘long hard look at my choices’, like I chose to have an abrasive personality and have poor social graces and not be able to read people very well. Trust me, I didn’t. It is a constant struggle to be polite to people and its a struggle I don’t always succeed at - Its a struggle to be polite and civil here in this post and whether or not I’m suceeding is subjective.I would love to not have so much trouble interacting with other people. I would love to not alienate people when I can’t control myself. I would love to not be a jackass to people so much. Its not something I set out to do. Its just part of me, and Its a constant struggle on my part to keep it under control. I didn’t choose it. I don’t want to be like this, but I don’t have a magic solution. I’ve been working at it for years, and I’ve made a great deal of progress (if you think I have ‘Trolling ways’ now, I’d hate to hear what you think of what I was like during High School, for example) but I haven’t ‘fixed’ my aspergers and my basic personality and I never will. (And no, I’m not hiding behind my AS - It is my responsibility to try and control it and manage the way it affects the way I interact with people). And no matter how much progress I make, there is always risk of backsliding or just not keeping myself under control. We all have that sort of problem, of not being able to restrain onself at times. So… well, my reply has kind of lost a central focus now, so I’ll stop here. Again, for what its worth Ozhawk, I’m sorry and I wish you all the best. I really do. May you have much inspiration and countless reviews.Alkeni

Complete? Really?

Holy cats. We did it. I think we really did it! 

There’s a ‘The End’ at the end of our “For Want Of A Nail” document. You know, the story people have been following @ozhawkauthor and I for over the last six months? Yeah. We’ve actually hit the end. 66 chapters and an epilogue.

It’s not fully ready for posting. We always go back to review, edit and occasionally make small changes. But we’ve been discussing increasing the rate of posting once we actually finished. Possibly Mon/Wed/Fri evenings (US Time)

But OMG! I’m almost giddy! I can’t believe the hard work is almost over! Many thanks to Oz, for getting me wrapped up in this journey, and for all the fans and friends we’ve made along the way.

ozhawkauthor said: I love Deadpool but I have now categorically banned him from appearing in all of my fic. (“But what about me and Wanda?” he just shouted in the back of my mind)

I’m TRYING to write a smut scene and he’s being his typical Merc with the Mouth self. Like, Deadpool, no, I can’t write everything you’re saying and doing at the same time. Every time I get to focus on actions his boxes then speak up instead and Deadpool just HAS to talk with them. Just, argh.

After this Darcy/Deadpool fic I do not think I’ll be writing Deadpool again. (and for once he’s actually talking to me for a change and wailing, “How can you be so cruel!?”)

Honestly, what did I get myself into? I have such strong headcanons on Deadpool. I’m seriously particular on how he’s written. I rarely read any fanfic with Deadpool as a lead because people frequently write him their own way and that way is OoC to me. Which makes me all the pickier in how I write Deadpool. 

I want to finish writing this story today and get it to you sometime this week for editing.
