silverdragonpressI make no profit off of binding fanfiction whatsoever. It is illegal and unethical and disrespectful to the authors who wrote them and the fanartists who created illustrations for them.
This is something that I do purely for the love of fandom and for the opportunity to create something physical to gift my friends and those people in fandom who have provided me comfort and happiness throughout the years. I believe in the gift economy of fandom. I love that I get to create and have a physical copy of the fanfiction I have loved over the years. All of the works that I bind, I believe they are just as good (if not BETTER) than most published books.
NO TWO BOOKS ARE THE SAME
I have a full-time job, family, and friends. I'm not a professional, I'm a crafter. I'm crafting, me, myself, & I, in my bedroom. I doubt any of my books will ever be perfect, but they'll be beautiful and real, and that's enough for me. Please appreciate my art for what it is, and not what it lacks.
I AM A HOBBYIST
Like I said, I have a full-time job and a life! I will try to be as prompt as I can with my binding, and provide reasonable updates as I go, but life happens. If any of my work is ever delayed, please be understanding.
I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO SAY NO
In a similar vein to all of the above, I do this for fun. The minute it becomes not-fun, I know I'm doing it wrong.
IF YOU DO NOT LISTEN TO MY TERMS, I WILL IGNORE YOU
I'm very lucky in that I've never had anyone be rude to me, so this is a pre-emptive strike! I'm not trying to be mean, but if the commissions say they are closed, if the fic you are asking after is one I've said I won't be binding, etc etc, I will ignore you. This is not a business, this is not a bookstore; I am one human person offering up my labors simply for the joy of doing so. Be kind, be considerate, and let's keep the party going.
As you can see, this is an amendment to the above statement:
If you re-sell my books, you will be blacklisted, and I will let other binders know I have blacklisted you for this reason.
Please check out the Requests and Commissions page for more information on how to properly re-home books, should the need arise.
