My first fanbinding for DMBJ fic!
Hello, I just bound this, a DMBJ fic! Which is I guess my second fully completed project. Also my first time binding a fic that I wrote myself, so the entire process from writing through typesetting and binding was my project. I am really happy with how it turned out! (Hopefully this is okay to post here, if not I'm happy to remove it—I'm still not very good at dreamwidth...)
Book information:
Title fonts - Frosty, Body font - IM Fell English, bound in octavo format with a square back bradel binding. Cover graphic printed onto book cloth with an inkjet printer. Edge painting underlayer with J. Herbin Émeraude de Chivor and sprinkled with Golden high flow acrylic in Iridescent Gold Deep (Fine), and Windsor & Newton ink in silver. Endpapers are paste paper I got at a book fair this year. Book cloth is something from a mix of samples, so I'm not completely sure what it is.
The fic: Mountain's Depths which I wrote for the Rare Kinks Buffet Prompt Fest 2024.

Anyway, that's all! I am really pleased with how it turned out!

I love the wrap around cover design - good to know that you can print on bookcloth (which is not something I would have thought of myself).

Yeah, I would not have guessed about printing on book cloth, but there are some people in the binding group I am in who have done it, and so I thought I'd give it a try! Even aside from whether printers in general can do it, I had doubts about mine because it is so old—I've had it since 2009...
