Ficbinding: A Complete Kingdom by Komodobits

The fic: SPN, Castiel/Dean Winchester, 85k

This fic had me staying up until 2am to read, it swept me up and flattened me. It's so well-written, so faithful to the characters, so well constructed that all you can do is strap in and enjoy the ride and hope you're not sobbing by the end (a vain hope). It's such a good story, period, that I think it can be enjoyed by non-SPN people. Mind the tags. Summary:

The sea; it swallows me. It comes up to my knees and it swallows me. The boys owe Jody a few dozen favours, and so when her niece goes missing near an old fishing village on the coast of Maine, Dean, Sam, and a newly human Castiel agree to take the case on. They settle into an old abandoned lighthouse-keepers' cottage, and slowly the tide comes in. (post-s8)

The bind: I'm so proud of this one, guys. I tried new things, pretty much everything worked, and I learned new skills!

Let's start with the colors. The story is sea-themed and stormy, so I chose black, dark blue and silver for the cover and light grey and light blue for the headbands and bookmark. I meant to use white for the headbands, but discovered I don't have white ones. It's the first time I do an overlap of fabrics and it turned out awesome. The silver stripe is a simple gift wrapper ribbon.

Typesetting:

The title font is so cool, with a droplet effect. For the part titles I chose a kind of blurry, hazy font because this story is about perception of reality and the loss of it. The chapter titles of the first part are solid, then they're altered in the following parts, to symbolize a slipping grasp on reality as time goes on.

I put headers and bottom-of-page numbers this time, which forced me to figure new things out in LibreOffice and do some maths 💪

The image of a lighthouse also changes in the three parts of the story. If you've read this fic, you know why.

Little wave as a divider.

Making the book:

I hadn't made a big book (printed at the A5 format) in a while and it felt amazing going back to that. It stretched my maths muscles. It's relaxing to do a book and not have to fight for every millimeter, like with small books. It's a more forgiving format.

Trimming went amazingly this time, I'm finding my footing slowly.

I had to sandpaper the edges to color them silver. I don't mind working with sandpaper, but it's quite brutal on the book, and wouldn't do it every time.

The edge painting was made with a silver marker, so I knew it wouldn't be perfect, but it looks good enough and doesn't peel away.

My corners are improving! They look almost perfectly square.

In reaction to the last bind I made, I augmented the overhang (still don't know if that's the word) between the edge of the covers and the edge of the textblock. From 3mm to 5mm. I'm very happy with this, it looks much better!

It's rare that I'm disappointed in a fabric, so I'll highlight here that I don't like this endpaper. It's pretty, but it's a sort of glossy magazine paper that didn't react to glue so well.

Overall, I love this book and this story deeply. I think it may be my best work technically so far.

Fonts: Rained (title), Moonrising (author name), Louis George Cafe (text), Brightness, Brightness Book and Brightness inverted (chapter titles), Snorter (part titles). Materials: 2mm grey board, 80g/m² ivory Clairfontaine A4 paper, synthetic ribbon and headbands (found on amazon), black and blue cloth and endpaper from Schmedt, silver non-textile ribbon (bought in craft store).

Feel free to ask me more about materialsand fonts (or whatever), it won’t bother me at all to tell you what I used, but I’m too lazy rn to write it in this post that’s long enough already.

Imagine: Han Jisung helping you when you're bored

Pairing: Idol!Han x Idol!reader

Genres: romance, short story, comfort, Reader is bored, Han has tattoos

A/N: first ever fanfic 💪

Today was one of those rare days that you had a free schedule so you and your boyfriend, Han Jisung, decided to spend this day together in his house so he could work on a new song.

"Are you done already?" You asked. "I've already been waiting for at least one hour" You said pouting.

He turned his attention to you, "I know, but i have to finish this song. When I'm done i promise I'll be all yours, baby" he said turning his attention back to his laptop.

You sighed but decided not to push him and let him be.

You spend another hour just laying on his bed scrolling on your phone until his voice was heard.

"And, I'm done." He said turning to you smiling. "What do you want to do, baby?"

You looked at him as he joined you on the bed and layed down besides you. "I don't know, I'm bored."

"I can fix that." Before you knew it, he run out of the room leaving you confused and after a few seconds he came back holding a box filled with washable markers.

"Where did you even find those?" You asked confused.

"Not important" He said handing you the box with the markers. He stood up and quickly took off his shirt revealing his toned body and his tattoos.

He layed down next to and looked at you. "Come on, what are you waiting? Draw." He said moving his shoulder with his compass tattoo.

You smiled and took the box Infront of you checking all the colours. You started drawing his tattoo carefully with his favourite colours. You were so focused on painting his tattoo you didn't even noticed that he had fallen asleep.

You laughed and placed the markers back inside the box and closed it. You took the box and put it on the floor before closing the lights and laying besides him.

"Goodnight" You said kissing him on the cheek before cuddling besides him and falling asleep with him.

💥10 top new wig tips I learned from this cosplay: 👉 1. Do not brush it when unfolding unless you need to! 2. Flush up the parting with your hands. 3. Cover with a generous layer of talc powder (it really reduces shine) 4. Remove the talc by shaking (have mercy for the black top 😅) 5. Unless its a specific character cut leave cutting till last. Pro Tip 💪: use strong fabric marker if the wig net underneath is not matching the wig! 6. Use 10 clips if planning on moving around or cutting while wearing. 7. Cut and style as you go. Always the fringe cos it looks more real and unique to you! 8. Back comb under the fringe of all cosplay and brush down after to avoid this 'out of the box' look and back comb the center or parting. 9. Don't be afraid to experiment here until you see what works for your face too as not all wigs have to be the same. 10. Lastly, a HUGE tip. Use face paint or pigmented eyeshadow around all the edges of your hairline to match the wig for a more real and flawless look.
