9th and 10th books of Binderary
This is one of my favorite Terror fics - a modern AU where everyone is participating in a knock-off baking competition called Barrow’s Baking Boys.
This was the first story I knew I wanted to bind for Binderary. I started the typeset way back in early January and decided to switch things up a bit and give formatting in GoogleDocs a try. The story had a couple different narrative styles - voiceovers and interviews for the show, plus some conversations over text (a first for the stories I’ve bound). So in addition to learning a new typesetting program I got to find a way to represent those distinctly, and in the process learned that google docs doesn’t maintain its formatting between firefox and chrome. (That was a lot of misprints/glue sheets…)
I’m really pleased with the overall look of these books. I was going for a very classic style and ended up using some printed marbled paper I hoarded for years, with a gray and blue check cardstock for the endpapers to kind of get the Bake Off gingham vibe. The body text is a very safe Times New Roman, with IM Fell for the on-air narration & interviews, and Quintessential for the titles.
