Jsem si zase po dlouhé době vzpomněl na skvost zvaný Studentská kuchařka

Ho Či Minova stezka mě straší už tak asi osm let. Já si to někdy budu muset uvařit.

A kdo by mohl zapomenout na legendární recept, který sice nepochází ze Studentské kuchařky, ale jeho energie je srovnatelná - Strahovská kunda

"Co je?"

Vole, všechno. Všechno je.

Imagine being me right now, it's 22:49 and I promised my teacher I'd finish an art project today and bring it in tomorrow at 9:30 so it can be displayed at the school's anniversary ball in the evening. I never work with huge formats and I even revived my old easel I haven't used in years. Right now my only saving grace is that our class is going to a theatre at 10 tomorrow instead of going to school at 8.

Sleep? I hardly know her.

My personal goal is to try and make fanfic binding as accessible to everyone as possible, so here are some resources on how to make a fanfic hardcover for under $25.

This is a barebones bind for the broke college students and such. Happy to field questions, too!

Here's a proposed budget breakdown:

Loosely organized thoughts:

Fanfic bookbinders often share typesets amongst each other. Never pay for a typeset for a fanfic.

You'll hear a lot about grain direction for your printer paper, but as a newbie on a budget without your own printer, settle for some nice 92 bright paper. If you like the hobby, splurge after but expect to pay at least 2-3x more for short grain paper.

Printing is a pain because some copy shops won't let you print intellectual property smut, and it's very expensive. You are better off bartering instead or looking for a free printer on Buy Nothing.

You know the thick paper wrapping that comes with online orders? It's a good weight for endpapers if you need to scrounge. Paper grocery bags or gift bags (birthday presents) might work, too.

Ask your local library to give you covers from books they are throwing out. Ask for outdated textbooks (those covers are built like tanks) or three-ring binders that are too busted to be binders anymore.

Obtain a used book that was mass produced (so your destruction of it does not impede anyone's access) and maybe even become a little vindictive with it.

If you can afford it, I recommend the Olfa SVR knife (~$10)

If you can afford it, upgrade your ruler to a t-square.

I really hope this resource is helpful! I want to stress how possible this is and encourage people to cherish what they love through art.

If you are interested in fanfic binding and have a little more disposable income, I have an affordable Fan Fiction Bookbinding Starter Pack that I carry on my site. I pack them myself and drop them 1x/month on the 15th.
