September Bonus! (Patreon)

Hey all! Just popping in with a wee surprise~

A few months ago, a lovely individual reached out to me about potentially sending me a copy of a very special fanfic :33 And after a slight delay in the mail, I finally have this bad boy in my posession!!! And look how BIG it is, clocking in over 500 pages !!

I can't get over the incredible work done by Zero (@sincere-sarcasm on bsky, @zerosconsort on tumbr) The book is phenomenal! Everything about it, from the binding to the typsetting, is so damn professional, I just keep going back to stare and ogle it lol. They created borders and headers for each chapter, as well as including quotes from the poems, and even incorporating the text messages! I'm soooo blown away by the work they put in (plus I've been told that this was the fic that inspired them to start book-binding in the first place! the highest praise!)

Zero asked if I'd be willing to provide a few sketches for some of the key scenes in the fic, and they actually wove them into the text perfectly! It looks so so good, and I'm so pleased with my little additions :3

I'm sharing this because it's something that I'm still incredibly proud of, and getting to hold it in my hands in physical form is so surreal. This story meant so much to me, and it still does; in fact, it's pretty much shaped all my creative pursuits these last few years. I can only hope to one day be as driven and possessed as I was during the period this fic held its grip on me (and that whatever 'anonymity' I've tried to maintain can still be kept on the down low, hehe)

But I thought you all might enjoy taking a look at this very special amazing book 🥰
