Finished binding volume 1 of Becoming Whole!

@pikapeppa thank you for being so lovely and sharing your writing with the world! (And for hyping me up and sending me pretty photomode screenshots)

#hfw #mine #my art #fan fic bookbinding #i think this took me… 4 months? #mostly because i’m a fool and i did the layout in indesign and had to resize it twice #and i wanted screenshots for filler pages and the end of chapters so i had to find and edit all of those #and i decided to draw illustrations for each chapter heading #and then i went wild in the author's note section with qr codes for links and art credits #i bound the textblock/glued it/made a cover but i put off finishing it because if i fucked up the final steps i’d have to redo everything #and also i was scared the end papers were too fragile and the whole book was gonna fall apart so i just let it sit for a month on my desk #but it’s in my makeshift press overnight to make sure the glue sticks properly and then it will be readable!!! #I MADE THIS WITH MY OWN TWO HANDS #AND NOW I GET TO READ ONE OF MY FAVORITE FICS FOREVER #at least the first 17 chapters #3 more volumes to go #plus another set for pikapeppaaaa :))))))))))))) #excuse the goofy pics and glue all over my desk
