Drawing in mspaint? Cool, impressive,
But whenever I see that, I think about the person who makes their art in power point
Every time I see them it boggles me
book & clamshell box for @towns-end-bindery for the Renegade California Mini Exchange!!! THE REVEAL!!!! wow its been so long since i started this it feels kind of unreal haha
this exchange sent me on a journey through so many lovely fics and new fandoms that were a delight to explore! i have Learned Things about svsss and honestly the more i hear the more excited i am to (eventually!!) finally read it
about the bind itself, it was a bit of a ride. i learned like 5 new skills in total, including:
- cover cutouts
- suminagashi edges
- my first book box!!
- chisel trimming edges by myself, which, um, definitely couldve gone better but it was fine after a few hours of sanding
- using REAL TOOLS???? lost count how many times i forgot i have a bone folder and made my book arts teacher take psychic damage
i fiddled with the typeset for several months, but in the end finished the book like a month early. so naturally my hubris rose from the dead and decided that making my first box would be a great idea!
i finished it with like 12 hours to spare before i was heading to the airport because i never learn
big thanks to fran for organizing this and congrats to everyone participating!!! WE CAME!!!
Quick PSA, if you get one of those "Work scanned, AI use detected" comments on AO3, just mark them as spam.
Some moron apparently built a bot to annoy or prank hundreds of authors.
There is no scanning process, your work doesn't actually resemble AI writing, it's all bullshit. Mark the comment as spam (on AO3, not the email notification you got about the comment!) and don't let it get to you.
a little personal response / tribute to "here's the life i've always longed for" by Anna Haifisch. the original means so much to me, and even though it's hard, I feel like every day i'm making more steps toward finally being on the other side of that fence <:)
