A Star Wars: Phantom Menace collection from Jane St Clair

August 21 is Fanfic Writers' Appreciation Day! I took part in @renegadepublishing​‘s book gifting appreciation event, and have created my first copy for an author.

One of the reasons I started binding was to capture some of the older works that may not have been archived, or still online at all. That's not the case with this collection, but I did reach back into my past fandom history for this one.

I've always loved Jane St Clair's Star Wars fanfic. Her work's got a certain deliberate, luminous feel to it and has stuck with me, so I collected her Phantom Menace stories into a single volume.

Endpapers are from my wife’s stash of paper when she was on a gel-plate printing kick. 

Illustrations are open-source historical astronomy images.

Author notes are included from my archived copies, in the days of mailing lists and all the disclaimers.

Cover art is laser-printer on fabric. Spine lettering is acrylic paint with a cricut-cut stencil.

Have I taken an excessive amount of pictures? Perhaps. Am I just happy that it all came together, is not too crooked, and the book opens all the way? Definitely, this is only the fourth hardcover cased book I’ve constructed.

Now I just need to do it all a second time, because of course, I want a copy for me, too.

Happy FFWAD, Jane!

Sooo...I may have stayed up until 3am watching Star Wars: Episode 1. Well, actually, watching Star Wars until 1:30am, not finishing it, and reading fanfic until 3.

I'd love to write about my thoughts on the movie, which I hadn't watched in, like, 15 years, but I don't know if I'll have time.

Qui-gon the hypocrite:

"The Council will determine Anakin's fate. That should be enough for you."

I’m just gonna say it, I don’t like the pod racing scene. I know it’s important to introduce Anakin as force sensitive and a good pilot but I just don’t like it much

....maybe it’s because I don’t like any kind of racing that we have either

It’s ovER 9000!!!!!!!

So angels are an actual think in the SW universe. How come we never got a character who’s species is an angel?
