FINAL

Propaganda under the cut.

Alice: "It’s so nice… so classy… it feels like a less aggressive/formal Times New Roman"

Libre Baskerville: "Libre Baskerville is a pleasing font to read. The uniform letters still maintain their style, with added curves when needed, with the serif as a finishing touch.", "close enough to times new roman to fool any nitpicky English teacher, but a few pixels bigger to pad out the length of your essays. and it rules", "my boner"

Work of All Saints by @kaikamahine

Her mother sends her a letter, after. We cannot help you, Imelda, it says. You are the consequence of your actions.

"This is not my fault!" Imelda shouts.

-

Imelda Rivera (b. 1899 - d. 1969), a story that includes but is not limited to: the finest music school this side of the Santo Domingo, three traveling musicians and the mess they made of love, the twice-cursed assassination of Venustiano Carranza, all the patron saints, and ninety-six ways a man can try to cross a bridge.

title/chapter headings/page numbers: Bodoni 72 Oldstyle body text: Libre Baskerville

210,703 words | 667 pages

You know how fics can grab you and not let go of you? This is that fic. It is a fic for the Disney movie Coco, and it gives Imelda a wonderful, thoughtful back story that made me have a cathartic cry at the end of it. It also gives a well researched look at Mexico’s history, and has such beautiful, clean prose that is so refreshing to read. I have made 2 copies, one for me, and one for the author! As for the design, I used the design used in the film for the infamous guitar, painted in gold on turquoise book cloth that I dyed myself. Turquoise and gold are important colours that are repeated throughout the fic, and I thought it was fitting, binding the book in those. For the typesetting, I had fun emulating the styles used in historical works, as a way to show the historical nature of the fic and its setting. This book is also a springback binding, so it opens all nice and flat, and it feels extremely solid in my hands haha. They’re typically used for journals or visitor books, as they sit flat and are appealing to write in, but I wanted to try my hand at this construction, and such a wonderful fic deserves to have a solid presence.

7 -  your preferred writing fonts

GASP, love this question because I love fonts oh my goodness o(≧▽≦)o. And curb stomping writing block by changing fonts on a whim, my love. Anyways, I completely adore Merriweather and Georgia! 99% of all my fics are written in these beautiful, incredible fonts. Mwah. Love ‘em. But occasionally I’ll go for Lucida Sans, or Libre Baskerville or Domine!!! Some rare fics are font specific in my brain, like I can’t write it anything but this specific font. Don’t know why.

19 - the most interesting topic you’ve researched for a fic

Aw, I wish I had a classic writer answer like stages of decomposition, or the components of obscure laws, but my snippets of research are few and far between, since if it feels too much like work, I’m not doing it. But to answer, probably older British-y words for “whore”! I went with slag, by the way. 

24 - how do you recharge when you’re not feeling creative?

Read! :) one of the reasons I write so much is because I’m such a big reader! I always have been, honestly. I’m always trying to find the next book to read, through Meticulously combing through horror books recommendations (trying to determine whether or not I like the style to finally buy), or devouring fanfics at a concerning pace, or INHALING manwha’s. I read so many comics. Manga, manwha, mostly via shonen/action genre but I dip into romance on rare whim. Other than that, I’m slowly trying to play video games to expand my hobbies and allow a better cool off for my brain when I get writing fatigue. I draw as well, but reading and drawing are my mains!

thank you for the asks :))) I love these !

Pac is the type I could trust to write anything and I know I'll absolutely love. Her advent fics, in particular, I especially adore. The writing is very visceral and I will not admit how many times I've reread these.

On The Book

I had not intended to bind any book/s for @renegadepublishing's binderary because of my hectic schedule, however FOMO won over and this book was born. It was a relatively quick design and typeset (I really do better under pressure lol). I wish I could say the same for when I started the actual binding though. This is the 8th book I’ve bound and I had expected it to go relatively smoothly, but this book fought me every step of the way and I'll indulge in expressing my distress on this post.

First, the print place I go to messed up my typeset, thus me having to travel back home to use our old crappy inkjet (that took 3 hours to print). And because said printer is crappy, I had to use 100gsm short grain to minimize show-through, and well, you can imagine how stick straight the pages are. Second, I made the case too small (I worked on the book after a toxic 12 hour lab day and was not in the right state) and instead of redoing the covers, I re-trimmed and repainted the fore edge (at cost of my lovely margins ..wails). Third & last, the vinyl refused! to stick to the cover and I proper burnt the HTV as well as my finger on my iron. In the book's defense, it was my first time using leather paper and I forgot to test their chemistry.

On The Bind

Everything else went swimmingly, aforementioned shit aside. I tried not to make this book scream Christmas and leaned into a more subtle theme through color choices. I finally got to use this lovely red leather paper from Itoya, which my parents bought me during their trip in Japan. Many thanks to @celestial-sphere-press for helping me out with the shops to visit!

The design cover was made on Illustrator. The words are actually the fic prompts which I arranged in concentric circles, inspired by the arrangement of the advent candles in our local church from years back. I have no idea what paper my print place used, but it has some nice pulp to it.

As I said, I melted the HTV and certain parts refused to stick, so I peeled all of it off, except for the spine title (which miraculously stuck) and used my foil quill pen instead. I used an off-brand one and it's really good!

I also did this sort of strip across the edge which I learned is called a "river" as Nic @bindsbymunchkin called it. The side near the spine though, looked asymmetrically empty, so I added the foiling. And as this is an anthology, the punctuations was a design choice to convey the start and end and pauses in-between stories (and mostly because they just look fancy lol).

Like my last bind, the edges are gold which is comprised of an undercoat of diluted dark gray Sakura acrylic paint and many layers of Liquitex iridescent gold acrylic ink.

Endbands are made with alternating colors of cream, gray, and gold DMC cotton threads, however I'm learning I don't very much like how sewn endbands look on small flatbacks.

The endpapers are my fave. I had already tipped in plain cream cardstock but then I was like: this book needs MARBLED PAPER! so I ripped off the one I had stuck and replaced it. It's actually not real marbled paper HAHA. I sourced it from this site, printed it on some heavy paper, and oh my god I believe the universe really meant for me to find this pattern because it coincidentally matched the colors of the endbands!!

On The Typeset

I wanted to keep things cohesive but also give each story its own character. Libre Baskerville was a lovely typeface to do that on.

From left to right: Les Pelerins, I'm Never Lonely When I'm With You, On The Virtues of Inexhaustible Burning

For Les Pelerins, I wanted to mimic the silhouette of the establishments in Montmartre, hence the varying heights of the letters. If I wasn’t on a time crunch, I would’ve spent more time editing the headers but alas this is what we get. INLWIWY is more straightforward– a pinecone, which was a recurring theme in the story. And I think OTVOIB is my favorite. I drew tiny gold cracks onto the coal rock which is a significant element in the story. It still gives me that stomach flip whenever I reread it (iykyk).

[albywritesfiction]

hi alby! i just played the lightning thief and i don't know if someone already told you or axel that but if you change the font to eb garamond or libre baskerville you can't change it back to anything else it gets stuck on that font

Hello! I did experience that before during testing, but after refreshing it a few times it usually changes to the new font. If you still experience this, I'll try to have it fixed before the next update!

7. 3. 11. :)!!

1. what font do you write in?

sometimes i write in comic sans bc it makes me laugh, but usually when i write in google docs i use libre baskerville because it’s the taylor swift folklore font and when i type on word i usually use baskerville bc it makes me feel fancy lol

3. what is your writing ritual and why is it cursed?

when i can i light an absolutely ungodly amount of candles when i’m writing. not that cursed i guess but it does somewhat make me feel like i’m summoning a demon

(side note: i just bought a book about catholic exorcism rituals that does include a demon summoning ritual so… 👀)

7. what is your deepest joy about writing?

i love crafting a PERFECT sentence or series of sentences. it makes me so happy when i come up with a symbol only i will pick up on or word something so it flows exactly the way i imagined it in my head

11. do you believe in the advice “kill your darlings”?

it makes me so sad to kill off characters 😭 i have been known to cry over character deaths THAT I WROTE. i do however like putting my characters through the most pain imaginable and then seeing how they recover from/deal with that, and i love ghost characters too!

tysm for asking!!! you’re the best grim <3

the only proof the field existed series by @nonagethimus/morian

"So, this… look you're going for," Lucius starts, testing the waters. Blackbeard stares at him with vacant eyes. Jesus. Lucius is viscerally reminded of the man's dead-eyed look before he pushed him overboard. "Does it feel like the right choice for you? Are we happy with it?" "Do you have a fever?" Blackbeard asks, voice hoarse. Lucius cocks his head and says, "Don't think so. Do I look hot?" He winks. Blackbeard lifts his hand and presses his fingers roughly against Lucius' forehead. "What are you—" "No fever," Blackbeard grunts and draws back. "Good. Didn't want to cut off your fucking hand." Lucius drawls, "I'm touched." Or: Lucius survives. For better or for worse.

So! While watching Our Flag Means Death I wasn’t particularly interested in reading fic for it, however this author is brilliant and I have enjoyed a lot of his fics, so I had to read this series! Some wonderful character studies, the first fic focusses on Lucius and the next focusses on Edward. The voices of both characters were captured beautifully, and I am so grateful to be able to reread these fics in hardcover. It is an A6 size book with a cutout, and I was hugely inspired by bythecrow on instagram and their books. One day I will have the courage to do some embroidery! Today is not that day lol. Colours chosen because of the wonderful outfits contained within the show, and because they are just FUN. The cover design and the endpapers are a printed William Morris design, which I think was done in the century after the show is set, but with the way the characters talk in the show, I’m sure it’s fine!
