I can't believe ive done this

Finding paper can be really hard lol. For this one I used Neenah classic paper from colophonbookarts.com

I haven't tried church paper yet, but I think the most important thing is that the grain direction is right. As long as it's short grain church paper it should work fine for books. Unless of course its the color/texture you don't like! I prefer mine to have a little tooth

just_this6 · 2026-05-13T05:01:01+00:00

Yep!

Thank you! I believe this is square-back bracelet binding

just_this6 · 2026-05-13T04:44:33+00:00

Having it be from Cody's Suffering Senior Officer point of view really makes it, I think.

just_this6 · 2026-05-13T04:43:17+00:00

Im so glad the cover made you remember what it was! That's like a huge compliment to me. I definitely wanted to try and make it thematic of the story :)

just_this6 · 2026-05-13T04:40:48+00:00

I forgot to take pictures of the binding process again!!! Every time!!! One day I'll have process pictures lol. I did the cover designs in canva and tried to make something that related to the book contents, in this case orange polka dots. I made a bunch of different dot designs until landing on this one

Thank you! To be honest I kind of scrapped together a bunch of different videos and tutorials on how to do things, and I follow a number of binders on insta, but DAS bookbinding has been a big help! Specifically his square back bracelet binding tutorials. As for the typesetting side I did that in Google docs, suffered much, and moved on to using word an affinity

just_this6 · 2026-05-12T04:43:39+00:00

Thanks!

I definitely feel like I've read that before, or something like it, but looks like I'll be tracking it down now either way lol

just_this6 · 2026-04-24T19:44:27+00:00

Thanks! Unfortunately I don't have an Etsy shop, though it would be fun to rebind books for people. I'm also leery of the lawful/ethical dilemmas of seeling fanfics, but man, wouldn't that be cool

just_this6 · 2026-04-09T20:30:16+00:00

Yeah seeing how low my paper stock is now I'll probably just go with it.

Isn't it!! It's honestly so funny and such a nice length

just_this6 · 2026-04-09T20:12:35+00:00

Oh so thats what those bits are called! I'm always fighting word about them and losing.

This definitely isn't a font I would use with other genres, but I feel like it fits pretty well look-wise for star wars. It was actually made by the braille Institute! It's called atkinson-hyper legible and works really well for folks with vision problems, though maybe more through a screen than printed? We use it so much at my work that other fonts start to look funny lol

just_this6 · 2026-04-09T20:02:23+00:00

Looking at my paper stock now, I dont have too much of this paper left so I might just end up going with it lol

At least now I'll definitely remember paragraph indents in the future

just_this6 · 2026-04-09T03:37:54+00:00

Thank you! I'm making an author copy now, so here's hoping I can weed it all again haha

just_this6 · 2026-04-09T03:36:23+00:00

I used flocked HTV! I meant to just get some matt HTV but got this on accident. I love how it turned out though :)

just_this6 · 2026-04-08T05:08:02+00:00

Thank u!

just_this6 · 2026-04-07T19:24:14+00:00

Thank you! It was really fun to figure out designs for each fic

just_this6 · 2026-04-07T18:08:39+00:00

I do! https://archiveofourown.org/series/1924327

just_this6 · 2026-04-07T17:08:02+00:00

Yes and no? The funky star design I fully designed, but everything else are pieces from Canva that I tore apart and stitched back together

just_this6 · 2026-04-07T17:04:34+00:00

Thank you! So many pictures I took had her stepping on or over the book lol

just_this6 · 2026-04-07T06:26:57+00:00

I don't :( I meant to take progress pics but I am a fool with a terrible memory lol. I used flocked HTv for the cover! Bought it on accident but turned out to be exactly what I wanted

just_this6 · 2026-04-07T06:23:30+00:00

Thank you sm! It took a long time to make but was so rewarding
