Here is the result of one of my university project this semester! I really wanted to work with unfinished fics and put the time, effort and money into printing all of them into finished books.
The authors are:
@warlepidoptera - In the Depts Of Wagstaf’s Factory
@bamsara - Nightly Shenanigans (and Other Wild Adventures)
Nundaloy - Tricky Tuesday
@fishwrites - Watercast
@remadra - I’ll Never Find Another You
And the three artists for the industrial covers are:
@bamsara - Nightly Shenanigans (and Other Wild Adventures)
@lanamaru - Watercast
@time-woods - Tricky Tuesday
(The other two are a stock image and a black mesa logo I redid by hand for higher resolution)
These are all fics I’ve read and liked or fics of my friends that they didn’t finished, I think about these once in a while, and I come back to some of them. Printing and binding fic is not something new or novel in fanfiction space, but most of the time, they’re done to finished fics rather than unfinished ones.
(More explanations of the project and other pictures under the cut!)
My intentions with this project was to put the effort into projects that are often deemed “not worth it” because of their unfinished status, even if the authors of those fics put love, care, time and effort into these passions projects.
I formatted the original text myself, before printing and binding it. Every cover is unique and so are the edges. There’s two editions of each, industrial and one handmade to reflect the different versions of a single book that can exist.
Here’s how I presented the project, in one of the University’s library cart, leaving the impression of these books being unsorted in the library itself!
lookjng at tag of fave character is like SHE WOULD NOT BE SKINNY. SHE WOULD NOT BE SKINNY. STOP SHIPPING HER. SHE WOULD NOT BE SKINNY. aw hey this analysis is pretty good i guess SHE WOULD NOT BE SKINNY. oh shit some good yuri
A little thing I've noticed about very specific certain multiplayer games where the players are supposed to inhabit a "blank slate" player character to act as their vehicle of interaction it usually comes in one of 3 flavors.
1) completely generic white guy.
2) a person fully garbed head to toe showing absolutely no skin and they tell you isn't gendered but is still given a fully masculine body with no option to alter its shape
3) something not even really recognizable as a human. More of a approximation of something with two arms, two legs, a head and (maybe) a face.
All of them will generally share the trait that differentiated your blank slate from other players is done via dressing them up with clothes colors or accessories.
Generally this doesn't get remarked upon at all by people playing the game.
And then there's Satisfactory where there are numerous people on the community page saying that they loved the gameplay but are bothered by the fact that unlike other games the devs of this one made their "blank slate" player-character models all explicitly women but also not super femininely rail-thin.
And a bunch of guys don't know how to cope with being not only "forced" to play as a girl but also one that isn't really designed to be sexy.
