Hey I just gotta say your bind of OTNWAS is GORGEOUS! Do you mind explaining how you formatted the pages? <3
hello, thank u sm <3!! and yes ofc i can :)
i used Adobe InDesign to do all my typesetting! the document i have has a total of 948 pages (475 spreads) which all include: title page, contents page, chapters, and a few customized + blank pages.
starting with document size first — mine is in A5 (so that i can print A4 spreads) you can play around with the margins, i recommend having at least 3mm added on to it if you’re going to trim it (the bleedline basically). my margins are 15mm left, 20mm right, 15mm top, 20mm bottom.
i had 2 chapter templates - one for short titles (i.e. jack flies) and one for long titles (i.e. jack and jamie uncover the hidden dangers of hide and seek). if you look at the pictures i posted, i added a snowflake as part of that template as an indicator of whose pov the chapter starts in. i designed one for hiccup and jamie too so i change it accordingly! i also use it as dinkuses whenever there’s a pov change within the chapter.
my body text size was 10pt with a 12.5 leading (justified + hyphenated) but honestly that also depends on the font you choose and your personal preference in terms of how spaced out you want your body text to be. i suggest doing test prints so you can adjust !! standard book fonts are: caslon, garamond, minion and palatino.
here’s a silly diagram i made for my friends of my exact settings 📖
in terms of actually formatting the fic— i copy-pasted chapter by chapter from ao3 because for some reason InDesign doesn’t recognize italics automatically so i had to do that manually LOL.
what else .. uhhhh i’m pretty sure i’m forgetting something… i’ll just add on when i remember but crossing my fingers this helps!! i know InDesign isn’t what’s the most accessible to people (i have it bc of my job), but there are lots of tutorials out there on how to do it on microsoft word or even google docs!
hope your binding goes well ⭐️

It’s been a very long time since I posted anything about Undertale AUs, but here’s a concept I’m tossing out into the fandom, and may do myself if I was any better at drawing trees and wood--
Dreamtale but rather than the twins’ vessels being skeletons, Nim just used what was immediately available to her (maybe some fallen branches or something) and made them vessels from wood, making them dryads.
When the Black Apple Incident happens, the corruption does not manifest as goop, but instead his body is covered by layers and layers of parasitic plants, like strangler figs, certain vines, maybe toss in some fungi. Tentacles are replaced with clusters of branches, roots, or vines. For added angst, could have a scene at some point where Dream’s weapon cuts through the body of the parasitic plants, expecting to find his brother trapped within and awaiting rescue-- but inside is completely hollow.
The host has long-since been drained dry and decayed.

anyways on a more positive note than earlier some rando helped me find my class (we’re a week in already so that was just nice of him), a girl laughed at my self-aware absent-mindedness (2 hours of sleep babee), people sat directly next to me which is strange to remark but it’s not common in my experience with new classes. and I think I became my art history prof’s teacher’s pet.
it’s wack I feel like I’m tricking people into thinking I’m normal (I just wore makeup and nicer clothes) and not about to look like shit next class. I sometimes wear button ups for men, do they know that???
