I was contacted late last year for permission to typeset my silly baby robots story for a fanbinding. I was somewhat aware of fanbinding and have an admiration of the art of bookbinding in general, so I happily gave my blessing. Hey, if someone likes my writing enough to commit an act of craftwork about it, I say full steam ahead. In my opinion it's the highest honor a work of fanfiction can receive.
Fast forward to now. @catspawbindery has gifted me this gorgeous tome.
Sweet shiny Primus is this thing gorgeous.
Just look at the quality and care that went into this. It's so well made and wonderful to hold.
I had (am still having, when spacetime allows) so much fun writing this series, despite/because-of its cracky premise, and seeing it manifest as a physical object is delightfully surreal. I'm going to find a prominent place to display it in the room where I do most of my writing so it can spur me on. Hopefully someday right next to it will be the first hardcover of Scoundrel.
(Don't worry, she is a very gentle pup and no damage occurred.)
Amyda, it's beautiful. Thank you so much. I can't stop grinning.
