In this video, I show you how you can turn any fanfiction into the hardcover book that it deserves. This easy and beginner-friendly method of bookbinding takes an old book and rebinds it into fanfiction. I explain how to take Ao3 fanfic and print it into signatures for bookbinding. This method could also be applied if you wanted to make a book out of your own writing. For this book, I picked the fic "Bones in the Ocean", A Dream SMP SBI Pirate AU that follows the adventures of Captain Technoblade and Philza on their unlikely pirate adventure. Along with their pirate crew including Tommy, Wilbur, Tubbo, Ranboo, Jack, Nikie, Eret, and more.

    Tips: Remember to double check that you didn't lose any formatting when copying over: italics, different fonts, page breaks. If you want to avoid page trimming, measure what paper you have (should be 8 1/2" by 11") and look for books where the pages are around 5 1/2" by 8 1/2" (the big page folded in half). If you're using Word to add page numbers, check under Headers & Footers for an option called "Different Odd & Even Pages." If you check that box, you can make your odd pages have numbers on the bottom right and your even pages have numbers on the bottom left, so they'll always be in the outside corner (always good to double check with a test page or two). Addition to the last point: There should be a way to break your book into two sections: One for the title page and table of contents, and one for the rest of the book. If you do it correctly, you can have page numbers -start- at chapter 1, instead of the book plate. I do need to google this step every time though, as it's complicated. Control+f Is your friend! I use it to double check that the work is consistent (Nick names being capitalized, "six-year-old" being always hyphenated or never, redhead being always one word or always two, etc.) If you feel up to it, go ahead and do a run of editing over the work. I'm doing minimal changes; basically fixing typos I find and altering sentences that read weird to me. If you do not fear embarrassment, see if your school has free printing. I try to print only 20 pages at a time, so it doesn't look like I'm pirating a textbook or anything.

    I think what people overlook is that a lot of fanfic _is_ bad because there's just so much of it. Anyone of any age, skill level, and maturity can write it and it _all_ gets grouped into _one_ category of "fanfic" It doesn't matter if it's a talented writer turning a bunch of well loved and multidimensional characters into a deep and relatable story about overcoming trauma and choosing your family (like Ad Astra by Hellenite, for ex) or some 12 y/o writing about two straight dudes making out - it's all considered fanfic.

    Exactly !! So much works of literature are the results of fanfic thought process of 'what if'. One of the most important piece of French literature to this day is a literal fanfiction of The Odyssey with Odysseus’s son as the main character. Considerated as such an important piece of literature, it got integrated into the schooling curriculum of the, at the time, reigning family’s son (grandson of Louis the 14th).

And I think I can speak on behalf of others who write that If we can just make one person's day better by tapping into their imagination, it makes everything all worthwhile.

    I wish I could do this. I have many favorite fanfic authors but they're just gone now and their amazing wonderful stories. Only remembered by those who had read them. To counter this sadness, I always think they got picked by a publisher and their stories are being enjoyed and appreciated outside the fandom which this is the reason for some of them being gone.

    Tips: (I love this so much and wanted to add some additional advice as someone who professionally learned bookbinding as well as editing! :)) 1. I'd personally run chunks of the text or the thing as a whole through a spelling program or re-read it and fix spelling mistakes just because I'm a perfectionist and not only want to honour the work but also do it justice to spell it the way it was meant to :) 2. I would set the text to full justification with the last row adjusted to the left, remove AO3's blank lines (which make sense for digital paragraphs) and instead create the analogue paragraph indentations. This would also save lots of paper. It does work best in InDesign for sure, which is what I'm working with and I know that non-professionals might struggle with these adjustments, I just wanted to recommend them anyway, because most of these are doable in word too! :) 3. I'd use a thinner thread so as not create large gaps between pages in the inner book, I think the thicker one totally works in this case though for the aesthetic! 4. Usually for a high quality hardcover bookbinders will add a piece of colourful fabric that is glued to the back of the inner book. It can be just at the top and bottom or all the way through. If there's supposed to be a bookmark this can simply be glued underneath that. (I sadly can't find the proper vocabulary to name these things in english cause it's not my first language) With the added fabric this makes for a more neat look when opening a hardcover, since the inner spine might get exposed and the fabric covers that up! 5. I'd account for additonal page length and cut the entire inner book with an electrical paper cutter after finishing to make the entire thing smooth. I don't know about your country but in mine we have access to these in copy-shops. This would also enable fore-edge painting!

    I have a little trick for if you want to create a very old looking book, maybe even going towards a wheathered kinda treasure-mappy way (if you know what kinda look I mean lol): Just use cold coffee and spill a tiny amount on every page, dap it off with a kitchen towel and let it dry. It's gonna "wrinkle" a bit, you can leave it like this or press it down. When you want the discolouring to be fainter, mix the coffee with water and dillute it down a bit. You can propably build the colour up a tiny bit too by doing this twice for example, so if you're unsure about the amount of water you want to use, then put a bit more in and maybe do this a second time if it's fainter than you want it to be. I wouldn't do that process more times than that though. And remember to always let the pages first dry completely before continuing!

    A nicely done tutorial for DIY bookbinding. A couple of tips for you: Elmer's "school glue" is PVA glue. Also, when doing the pressing of the signatures, a low to medium clothing iron can do in a matter of moments what a can of fruit salad can't do in 8 hours. Optionally, you could add a ribbon for a book marker glued to the spine of the signatures before setting the cover.

And also "Fanmail to an Immortal" by PiperTheViper also on ao3. This fic is not finished and "quite" short for the moment, but it makes me laugh so here it is.

    Quick tip for finding the middle I learned from a woodworking video. Measure the length, go to the nearest whole number and divide that in half (so is the page is 7 and something inches long you take the 7, divide it in half to get 3.5) measure that length from one end, do the same from the other end, and eyeball half way in between the two marks you measured and that is your center. Is it the super exact center? Maybe not, but most craft projects do not require that level of precision.

    Quick remark and tips for making a fanfic book look as professional as possible: 1. Often in published books, chapter titles (or story titles for a collection of written pieces) are set on uneven page number (1-3-177 etc.) which results in the title being on the right side of when reading. 2. You can Google which font are commonly used in books. There’s Time new Roman, Gamond, Palatino or Georgia etc. 3. Indented paragraphs for me is a must. It makes everything more readable, coupled with the paragraph spacing. 4. About pages being upside down when printed: Idk if it’s my computer, the printer I’m using or Adobe Reader but when I print tested the first booklet of the fic I wanted to bookbinding, all the back side of the pages are upside down. I tried changing the settings on Adobe but nothing works and I can’t access the printer settings so what I did is download a pdf reader app from Apple Store (I’m on Mac) I hope it will fix the issue.

    Paper trimmer tip! Places like Joann's and Michael's have TONS of coupons. They intend them to be used on cheap things or decor because they place a lot of thier more expensive items on sale to begin with and you can't use thier coupons on items that are already on sale. BUT you know what is NEVER on sale?! Art supplies! And that my friends is how you get paper trimmers and guillotine cutters for much cheaper than anyone ever intended. I think mine was ~$50 originally and I had a half off coupon and then I had that stack with a 20% off coupon. So I got a $50 Gullotine cutter for $20. (They also sell cheaper ones or around $20 but they either dull quickly or the plastic breaks. So if you intend to cut a lot of paper or are an artist in general it's better to invest in a nicer one.) You can also use this trick to buy pretty nice paints for much cheaper. You just have to collect them over a longer period of time than buying all the colors you want at once.

    You can get the page order in word, no Adobe required. Just go into page layout, it should be in the advance margins menu. There, you can also select how many pages are in the signature. This also lets you print the whole book all at once instead of one signature at a time, you just have to pay attention to your page numbers. The advance setting also has a feature for mirrored margins that are wider on the inside to account for lost space in the binding. Very handy if you want to use Japanese stab stitching instead, but also to minimize the outside margin to fit more on a single page. Or just give yourself a little wiggle room for a little wobbliness. My first book is diffidently on the looser side. It's The Colony of Gotham by Crzyfun and the spine is duck tape. Currently working on Embers by Vathara.
