Who needs bone folders if you've got dog? 😁

My supervisor, making sure the books come out alright.

*cries*
It is printed. Finally. If something turns out to be wrong or I do a cutting mishap, I will ugly cry for real.
A stack of printed papers that soon will become a book.

The pages I needed to print vs the misprints because of my stupid HP printer. I should charge them for the paper wasted.

Two piles of paper, one slim with only ten sheets, the right one being a lot higher.

Ink Cartridges finally arrived! 🙌🏻
And of course, I put in the already printed signatures wrong, or miscalculated what I've already printed. 🙄 More waste sheets for furture projects!

Mum found Granpa's old compass during the move and I immediately claimed it as mine.

However, new place new setups. This metal thingy serves as a ruler when cutting signatures, provides something to push signatures against and thriples as a press.

The fuck, printer?

A sheet of paper, the lower third has text printed properly, the upper two thirds are covered by randomly coloured stripes.

Once again, the printer taught me to not trust it. Printed AAAALL the signatures in one go. When doing the backsides the printer grabbed two sheets. Thankfully it happened within the very last signature, so only three sheets of paper were wasted.

How could one ever do a #bookbinding without your dog?

Sadly, the video of our dog tricking performance was taken from too far away, so here's a training vid from Friday evening, with some guest stars. 🤭 #bookbinding

And here we are, a quick little sewn boards bind, just for this Big Bang I've joined.

Also, first time attempting more than one colour with my trusty hot foil quills. Not too bad, but precision won't be a thing. 🤪

Me, yesterday: I *could* use the multi-projects notebook with many blank pages. I also could do a nice little sewn boards things for a dedicated project.

Expect photos later on, unless I forget. But so far, I only had to look up one step. Most has been done from memory. 🙌🏻

I need to ask for support, because big vet bills happened and are still going to come in. So, I'm opening commissions that I hopefully can fulfill quickly-ish: Chibis, landscapes and handmade notebooks.

Last reminder. :D

And because I got the very valid question about closing time, I went down timezone rabbit holes, complete with self-doubt and syphilis and… I'll be closing right when Monday ends for me. 0:00 CET, Berlin Time. This should~ also be 8pm EDT.

When you go to look at the offerings, please do take note of the sticky posts at the top of the fth2025 offerings blog. There was a significant tagging problem with Dreamwidth this year due to the large number of posts. We fixed it, but the fix does mean that searching is a little more complicated.

My #FandomTrumpsHate post is up! 💗
Feel free to reach out with questions. I was only allowed to list three fandoms, but tbh Marvel Rivals or Assassin's Creed Syndicate would be fun as well ✨

I'll promo it again when bidding opens!

Here’s my #FandomTrumpsHate 2025 offering #1 of 2 #podfic readings in #MDZS/#CQL or #ForAllMankind fandoms. Shoot me any questions here or on tumblr (anons are on, account linked on the offering page). Bidding opens February 25 and closes March 1! fth2025offerings.dreamwidth.org/217639.html
Type of fanwork: Podfic Fandom(s): MXTX (works): Mo Dao Zu Shi / The Untamed; For All Mankind Highest rating: M Minimum Bid: $25 Audience: All ages Length/scope: 10 - 15k words Special interests (what is this?): F/F ships, Genderswap/genderbending, Nonwhite characters' racial or cultural experiences Characters/pairings of interest: MDZS: wangxian is my favorite, and I could also read Sizhui/Jingyi or other juniors fic pretty easily, and I expect to be able to read most other ships. If you're concerned or curious, you can message me on tumblr or other socials. Anonymous asks are on also on my tumblr if you prefer. FAM: I'm pretty open for ships and characters! Subjects/theme/tropes of interest: I enjoy reading humor and romcoms and really any material that fits well with my very flat American accent. For this reason, I have a preference for modern settings, but it's not required. In general, I like non-neurotypical POVs, pining, "idiots to lovers" and all kinds of tropes in that direction, and diaspora experiences. On the podfic production side, I like opportunities to use sound effects and music. I'm still not confident I can pull off reading explicit sex, but I did raise the rating to M this year, versus last year at T. One of the things I can bring to English-language podfic is moderately better quality pronunciation of Chinese names and words, since I am Chinese-Indonesian-American, but keep in mind that my Chinese is not native quality. If somehow you have Indonesian in your fic, I am native quality in that language, but the work as a whole would still need to be English. I have no confidence I could pull off an entire fic in Indonesian, but my accent is good. I also studied Japanese for many years and am confident in pronouncing Japanese, in case that somehow comes up also. Unwilling to address: I'm expecting most deeply kinky material to earn an E rating and therefore not fall under the M rating I've set, but that's mostly what I have a hard line about: scat, piss, lactation kink, etc. I also don't do well with major body horror, particularly involving holes or teeth. If your fic candidate involves some level of body horror, please get in touch with me before or soon after you bid. And I also won't do reader insert.
