I had to cut the pages at a printing shop because without a hydraulic guillotine, neatly cutting so much paper is just not possible. I've tried many methods but ended up with just uneven and ragged pages.

For binding, i chose the "perfect binding" technique with a softcover. It seems to be the easiest and least labour intensive. Binding the pages was actually easier than i thought.

I've designed the cover around a stunning artwork by Suzuka Youraku. Here is her pixiv page: pixiv.net/en/users/53055517
Full cover can be accessed here: drive.proton.me/urls/4ZWBW7ZHH

In the end, I'm happy with the result. It cost me very little. In total the 400 pages book came at around maybe 5€ to make :blob_rave:

Before printing the book, I had to learn how to format text and design the pages. I opted for printing four pages per A4 sheet, which was not all that easy when printing about 400 pages which then need to be flipped and printed over again.

I'm using Scribus for the layouts. It's clunky and annoying but it's opensource and free. I've included the source file here: drive.proton.me/urls/4DQVGYRVY if anyone wants to try and print this book by themselves :blob_nom_cookie:

Book crafting has been living in head non stop ever since i've read my first fanfiction novel. I just had to have certain works on my bookshelf and so i did :blob_rave: This project began with scoring a second-hand inkjet printer for just 8€. The Epson stylus SX235W is old but it still works just fine. I have working ink cartridges for it too, so it is just a matter of refilling them with ink and resetting the chips, and i saw many offers on local marketplace where people sell old ink cartridges for pennies so the whole operation should be inexpensive at worse

Today I #AmWriting by going through old stories and making them work for Alana de Riva, because dammit I love that character.

And you know what? I'm actually quite pleased with some of them. I'm rather fond of this one, even with the purple prose in my description of Treviso.

#WordWeavers 3.17 — How organized are your characters?

This is a fantastic prompt.

Here's a few:

• Governor Tarkin: He's a clever man. He's prepared for any outcome. He's forever organized to a fault when it comes to notes and battle strategy. His home, however? Or his personal quarters aboard the ship? Both are clean and organized as well. (His wife keeps his home clean.)
• Lady Nolana Disa: Halfway organized. She's always prepared but never sure of what's to come. She lives out of a suitcase as well.
• Director Orson Krennic: Messy notes on his datapad, clean living quarters. He's a contradiction.
• Emperor Palpatine: He is, of course, an organized man, but only because everyone else "cleans" for him.
• Lord Vader: Does it even need explaining?
