WIP Der Traum der Träume

Part II

Since there’s so much going to be ‘experimental’ with this book anyway I decided to add some more ot it. At the last binders fair I bought a sheet of papyrus paper (it’s really more of beaten papyrus fibres, one going short grain the other long grain) that I used for the cover. I have no idea how well it will hold up to wear and there were were some issues when applying it.

For one there are tiny holes here and there in the sheet. With the pale paper I used to even out the leather I could see it clearly shining through in some spots. To prevent that from being too obvious I gave the paper a light colouring so the bright cream wouldn’t glare through those holes too much. The papyrus is also very stiff and woodlike when dry. I moistened it to get it more supple to work with without breaking, that worked well enough. I also decided to work with wheat paste glue to not get any shiny spots from where the glue would press through the tiny holes that I already knew where there. Problem was, the glue takes some time to dry and it was hard getting the edges worked around and stick (when my patience dissolved I just gave the turn ins a coat of PVA and was done with them). The edges do not look great, but what concerns me more is the fact that the papyrus  fibers start to come apart where the paper has to go sharply around a corner. I let it dry and will check how much of an issue that is once it is dry. On the upside, my hidden corners are really well hidden and almost equally so.

AU based off Nature except I kept thinking about it too hard. Dales not a good dad, but its such an easy problem for him to throw money at, and what do you do when a part is damaged? Well, you replace it.

Basically an AU where Dev gets to experience medical trauma and realizes much sooner how much his dad doesn't love him

It was a well-known secret that Jonathan Byers sold Steve Harrington’s photos at cutthroat prices to the students of Hawkins High.

People wanted to get mad at it but a picture of shirtless Steve in tiny green shorts was enough to silence their protests.

Although his buyers ranged from all genders, Jonathan wasn’t surprised at all. Because he, too, was a victim of that Harrington Charm—the very reason he had started collecting every picture of Steve in the first place.

His side business was just a front for him to do so without being harrassed by Tommy H. who, ironically, was one of his regulars.

And why was it a well-known secret?

Well, because Steve had no idea about it.

In a rare sense of solidarity, the whole school had joined forces and done their best to keep their king out of the loop.

(Even Eddie ‘The Freak’ Munson—who loved to run his mouth—seemed to understand the gravity of the situation and managed to keep the secret.)

Jonathan had never enjoyed photography more in his life.

When Steve eventually figured it out, he was surprisingly willing to let Jonathan take more… audacious photos of him.

Suffice to say, the profit had skyrocketed once Jonathan found the right group of customers.

(i.e. Eddie Munson had paid for the Bunny Collection with three bags of weeds, Tommy H. had paid a hefty amount for more Stockings, and Billy Hargrove kept coming back for Higheels & Lipstick.)

Stop it. Azzi and Paige gossiping on FT is cute as fuck. Especially the way they were talking to each other. Azzi’s “what does that mean” and Paige’s “idk..”. It’s giving the convos they have at the double sinks in their bathroom getting ready for bed. It’s so domestic. It’s so couple-y. I wanna throw up. 😩🥰

Dear god, it’s me, anon. Can I please have what they have? 🙏🏽

Dear god, it's also me Nivi with anon, can we both please have what they have?"

They really do emulate what it's like to be in love with your best friend like just casually gossiping about everything and nothing.

Horrorcon UK

Ok, so a little rather late for an Audio Drama Sunday post, but I wanted to share what an epic weekend we had at Horrorcon UK in Sheffield 11-12th May.

Myself, Daivd Ault and James Cleveland (all from The NoSleep Podcast) were there promoting "Horror in Audio Fiction", trying to get more people to discover audio drama and fiction through podcasts, and not assuming all podcasts were two blokes talking about stuff into a mic.

Having worked on over a 100 shows between us, (with a lot of horror), it became a game of "Tell us what kind of horror you like, and we'll recommend a show for you to listen to".

From the big anthology shows like NoSleep, and the very British and queer Shadows at the the Door, we kept finding more shows to talk about and add to an ever-growing flow chart.

Shows we were flag waving for included:

The NoSleep Podcast Shadows at the Door @re-dracula @thekilda @woebegonepod Dark Dice Red Odyssey Audible Visions Drama Creepy Campfire Radio Theatre The Wicked Library Victoria's Lift The Dead @lessismorguepod The Hidden Frequencies

And it wasn't just horror! We gave shoutouts to @camlannpod and the sci-fi series Cyclone as well!

In all, a wonderful weekend introducing people to the incredible world of audio drama and fiction.
