holy shit I made a book

Last year my birthday present to myself was a book about bookbinding, with the intention to try some out on fanfiction. I did a few pamphlet style books last year, starting with @banyanas Send the Scourge and my own Proof of Life, but my initial hardback experiment got held up by kittens up in my space and making trouble and it's been sitting on the craft table untouched for the better part of six months.

Well, yesterday I was feeling fidgety and decided to sit down and try to finish it off.

Several mistakes were made (test-sanding the endpapers on the textblock led to some faint blue staining on the edges of the pages, an accidental mis-cut left only a very small cover paper margin on the front cover, some areas probably could have been glued more thoroughly, and the endpapers I picked turned out very wrinkle-prone when wet), but the end product holds together so much better than I'd been expecting when I set it to press last night!

This has me really excited to try out more long-form stories in this format! I'd like to try out a round-back book in the future, too, but for now I'm just looking forward to doing more trials!

Specific details of the formatting and materials under the cut!

The mini golf course was a confusing swirl of holes accented with animal statues, miniature architecture, and blue pools of water that likely contained all the filth of humanity.

This story arc features two good character-centric issues, but the titular main story and one distraction issue make for less exciting reading.

Congrats to the ultimate winner of the Hot & Vintage Movie Men Tournament, Mr. Toshiro Mifune! May he live happily and well where the sun always shines, enjoying the glories of a battle hard fought.

A loving farewell to all of our previous contestants, who are now banished to the shadow realm and all its dark joys and whispered horrors—I hear there's a picnic on the village green today. If you want to remember the fallen heroes, you can find them all beneath the cut.

What happens next? I'll be taking a break of two weeks to rest from this and prep for the Hot & Vintage Ladies Tournament. I'll still be around but only minimally, posting a few last odes to the hot men before transitioning into a little early ladies content, just like I did with this last tournament. The submission form for the Hot & Vintage Ladies tournament will remain up for one more week (closing February 21st), so get your submissions in for that asap! Once the form closes, there will be one more week of break. The first round of the Hot & Vintage Ladies Tournament will be posted on February 29th, as Leap Year Day seems like a fitting allusion to leaping into these ladies' arms.

Thanks for being here! Enjoy the two weeks off, and send me some great propaganda.

I just played a video game called Vale: Shadow of the Crown. It has a blind protagonist and is 100% navigated by audio. You need headphones to play it. I was intrigued by the premise, but worried that it would be a gimmick that wouldn’t actually hold up well.

Turns out it worked just fine and I found myself really sucked in! I even turned off all the lights and played much of the game with my eyes closed. Though there were a few difficult sections (for me, using the bow was hard), it was mostly pretty intuitive. Honestly, the biggest problem was getting sleepy after a while, because as far as my body is concerned, if I spend that much time with my eyes closed, it’s bed time.

Anyway, it was a neat story with good voice acting and I actually really enjoyed the combat sections. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a novel gaming experience, as well as to anyone who has impaired vision.
