Hello! This year, I’m going to be participating in the FTH craft bazaar by offering a typeset and handbound fanbinding. I’ll default to a hardcover (case-bound) book in quarter-legal size (4.25in x 7in, or roughly 107mm x 177mm). if you’re interested in a different size or a different bookbinding technique that i’ve done before (see image!), we can talk about that! in general, i’m happy to chat about ideas you might have, especially if it has to do with ease of reading for you, but ultimately decisions will be made based on what i have access to and what i think will work best for the project. i’m willing pay for shipping up to $25 USD—if shipping will be higher than that, i’ll ask you to cover the extra cost.

What I'll Bind

Your own fanwork
Another author’s fanwork as long as the author gives permission or has a public blanket permission statement for transformative works. The bidder is responsible for obtaining permission for the story of their choice—if you need to get permission from the author, please do it in a public setting (AO3 comments, publicly answered Tumblr asks, etc.) where I can also see it. if you’re not sure how to look for this or what counts as blanket permission, i’m happy to help figure it out.
Any non-RPF fandom not associated with JK Rowling or Neil Gaiman (if you have questions, feel free to reach out to me ahead of time!)
I am willing to bind a wide range of content, but I won’t bind anything with an extensive depiction of on-page rape/noncon, or anything with significant age difference adult/child relationships, and I reserve the right to refuse to bind a specific fic for any reason. If the fic you want bound is rated E, you will need to confirm that you are 18 or older. (again, if you have questions, feel free to reach out ahead of time!)
