Another one for the fanfiction shelf, this time the fantastic Vacation James, from the even more fantastic @imstressedx! (Go read it if you haven't already done so!)

There was only one choice for the cover pattern and end papers, but I really shot muself in the foot by wanting to have the book be roughly the shape of a boarding pass - it caused no end of problems with the typesetting, the cutting, and the aligning, and in the end the cover graphic was too wide to fit the right aspect ratio, so I just had it disappearing off the edge (still looks OK, IMO! And the South African flag in the background is there for reasons)

I couldn't resist putting one of the doodles that inspired imstressedx to write this fic on the first title page, and even tried something new by using an ink pad to stain the edges. Add in some hand sewn red and yellow endbands, and it doesn't look half bad!

didnt know i needed vacation mode james in my life until now

Vacation James likes: fruity little drinks, karaoke, and living la vida loca 😎

i wish you would write a fic about the tales of vacation james. bonus points if it includes him singing margaritaville at a karaoke bar, the mic in one hand and a mai tai in the other.

well, this certainly took me longer than expected, but: here you go, my friend!
