Alphabet Soup by me, @phoenixortheflame

Drarry; 95k; Explicit; Complete (squeal!)

Harry Potter, investigative reporter for the Daily Prophet, leads a perfectly adequate life. When he’s not trawling back-alleys for a juicy story, he’s playing tea party with his favourite niece or eating curry with his former house-elf. Draco Malfoy, renowned chef in muggle Paris, was perfectly content living a life of obscurity. But when his mother’s health begins to fail, he must return to wizarding London and face his past. When Harry gets an odd assignment to interview the enigmatic chef of the new muggle-wizard restaurant Le Cerf, he’s reunited with his childhood bully—and is reminded just how much a person can change in ten years. Hijinks, mystery, and food-related dirty talk ensue when Harry receives an anonymous tip of a blackmarket dragon trade and enlists Draco to be his concierge into the shady underworld of the wizarding elite.

I owe so much to @its-the-allure for being with me on this journey since day one. And @fisheatingbirds who supplied my ego with the most lovely, encouraging comments (she also made the cover art above!). I also must thank @jelliewrites for being the best Britpicker and let’s be honest copy editor of all time. @smehur you were so wonderful to backread my whole WIP and provide me with thoughtful comments and encouragement to get it across the finish line. And my dear @faiell, I appreciate you so much for reading my Japan chapters. And @epitomereally for hopping into a chapter last minute when things just weren’t clicking.

I really feel like I slayed a dragon with this project. And in the process made a lot of really good friends.

Bound: Rookie Moves by peu_a_peu

Typeset and bound by: me, @phoenixortheflame

About a month ago, my five year old said, "What if you did a bind of Rookie Moves, but instead of Rookie Moves you called it 'Rookie Moooooooos'."

I'm telling you, my kid is a genius.

My dust jacket design came together pretty quickly. I knew I wanted to use black and white photos with punchy pops of colour. I even managed photos ft. Draco- and Harry-coded cows (and if you zoom in closely on the front cover you'll see I gave them some props).

I've been really into printing designs on the inside covers of my paperbacks, and so I thought, why not do that on the dust jackets, too?? This was a last-minute addition and I'm so happy with how it turned out.

Cover material is Verona book cloth in 509 Orange Blast. I've been wanting to use this colour forever, but didn't have the right fic for it.

I was originally going to also put cow print on the front and back covers with HTV, but decided against it and went with just a simple spine title using layered black and white HTV.

This was my first time rounding and backing, and I think it turned out quite well for a first attempt.

There are some mistakes made. I used PVA instead of paste to case it in and hadn't yet gotten to the part of DAS's video where he said to set the shoulders first so the text block doesn't shift. There are some wrinkles in the endpapers on the inside-front cover, but otherwise it looks (and more importantly functions) nicely.

The typeset is all brand new as well. I leaned hard into the cow theme, but tried to keep it minimalist, too. I'm really happy how the newspaper formatting turned out — as well as my chapter heads.

This bind is a gift for a friend. I messaged her yesterday to say, "It's simultaneously the most beautiful and dumbest thing I've ever made."

As ever, a huge thanks goes out to my pals who helped me if not with guidance then definitely with moral support (not to be confused with "morale" support). @sits-bound @maleekamolscreates @epitomereally @citrusses @copticcowgirl @plor-bindery, you are all wonderful.
