I’m currently imagining the arbor of this being a well adjusted member of society seeing this in their RUclips recommended, blinking, and having flashbacks about this.
I have experienced this, unfortunately 😅 I was trying to look for fic recs, but foubd my own from years ago
It is an awful feeling 🤣😭
The way i was talking about the flashbacks in the shorts comment section
no well adjusted member of society knows what this work is
The 'seeing snippets that are absolutely wild' is the text version of overhearing a bit of someone's conversation and it's a complete "what the fuck are they talking about"
"What are you two fucking talking about?"
I love how the blank signatures in the back make the whole book read like Ebony's diary
I think this is the definition of "blursed". Blessed and cursed
Oh absolutely 😂😂😂
Seeing these fanfic binding videos has given me the insatiable urge to bind several shorts fics from one fandom into a single chronicle-style book. Knowing full well that I would probably fail miserably😅
However, it won't stop me from enjoying the process and brainstorming my cover designs!
OMG YES
I’ve been wanting to do this for I think half a month so I will probably do it :)
This actually inspired me to do the same thing! My only real obstacle at the moment is that I don’t have a double-sided printer…
@@hopefulstarfish7559 it'll be harder to format, but you can just insert the paper back in the tray flipped over and print again. I did it for bookmarks and it worked great.
OMG SHE DID IT. this, THIS is the bookbinding content i subbed for lmaooooo
I must admit. To the author's credit. If I had been a teen at Hogwarts, I too would have fallen head over heels for the goth hot topic cool vampire girl. Just sayin
The archeologist escavating your home in a 1000 years from now will be so confused.
i feel like my immortal would do really well as one of those super styleised books. y'know with like, A/N as scribbles in the beggining of the chapters, a font + paper that makes it look like it was written down in a notebook or smth, a bunch of drawings along the edges of the characters and outfits in a kinda crappy artstyle to trule just enhance the character of the story and why it's so beloved. i do absolutely LOVE the choice of filling out the empty space with blank pages along with the incomplete page numbers to represent the incompletion of the actual fic. i personally would have just liked some more aspects that show the story behind the fic as prominantely as the fic itself
Is it weird that My Immortal is my comfort read?? 😭 Like yes I think it’s bad and poorly written. But it’s like when I’m having a bad day “oh go read my immortal! Things can’t get worse than that!”
same lmaooooo, i just love to go back to it and laugh when i have a shitty day
this hit me like a brick
Now this is a prime example of don’t judge a book by its cover, but in the opposite way. This cover is AMAZING, but story issssssssssssss, yeah.
That’s still judging a book by its cover.. just thinking it’s gonna be good but it’s not
I don't know whether or not I should be glad I've never heard of this fanfiction until now
Be very very glad. It was literally used as an example/class activity to teach editing under severe conditions/editing something unreadable with no way to ask the author what they were trying to do. It was torture
I think enough time has passed for My Immortal to simply be funny, along with all the memes that have sprouted from it.
@@Kaiularalei now I wanna find it and spellcheck the whole thing
@@AnglerVoiceActing good luck!
@@AnglerVoiceActing I think trying to spellcheck My Immortal would crash most software. 😂
*FREAKING EATS YOUR DESIGN* I CANNOT IT'S SO GOOD FOR SOMETHING LIKE THIS FIC LMAO
Don't mean to "um ackshually..." here, but I just wanted to mention that it is really important that your PVA glue is non-acidic if you want your project to have any kind of longevity.
Good to know
Yesss!!!
I feel like any *cultured* fanbinder needs a copy of this classic! 😁
Now this, THIS is ART!!!! Imagine being the real author and coming across this on your youtube recommended page...
That in character reading during the glamour shots was absolutely chilling. Its exactly the voice I imagined in my head when I first ran afoul of My Immortal. So fun, this was a great watch and I subscribed straight away.
I never thought I'd read such a perfect title
The absolute chaos of this fanfic. I officially joined FFN in 2009 and have been writing fanfics off and on since. I mostly use Ao3 now. But I remember the My Immortal insanity at its height😅
I absolutely love how unhinged this project was and yet you still managed to make a masterpiece of a video about it !
Also thanks to you im binding the transcript for my favoutite podcast right now so thanks a lot for getting me into book binding !!
I saw the title and immediately went: 'no... why would you do that. Oh god no.'
But im watching anyway, i love your bookbinding videos so much and I'm doing my own fanfiction binding project right now and using your videos as a guide. So thanks for providing yet another reference vidwo i suppose! (Even if I'm sobbing reading the title) (mostly joking this is gonna be fun to watch)
I’m so incredibly proud of you for making such an epic book cover. (And for doing RUclips full time!🎉) But I also kind of hate you a little for forcing this story back on me. The paradox of emotions is hurting my brain.
a perfect video to prep for artfight with (complimentary)
youve singlehandedly gotten me into book binding and antique book collecting, thank you
I really appreciate how much detail you go into with the text formatting sort of thing. A lot of book binding videos focus on the covers and blocks, not printing
As someone who doesn’t read fanfics, I understood the absurdity of this project and I loved it 😂
My first thought when you mentioned alternatives to leather was the black pleather of an old pair Hot Topic pleather pants which seemed on point. 😂
Raven and Tara would love This. 😉
"You would think with the amount of times I've died on this channel, I'd remember."
damn that's crazy out of context
RIP google docs spellcheck, you met your match
jess is back at it! MAKING FANFIC TO IRL!
Everyone under 5 minutes
So proud of how far you've come Jess! It's so crazy you're full time now and as someone who has been here since the beginning, thank you for the silly crafting videos that make my day :)
Other than the small typo of "worst" instead of "best" in the title, this is probably favorite bookbinding video of yours!(/jjjjjj [though tbf typos are pretty in character, maybe thats a good thing🤔])
I’ve seen the name come up every so often but never knew where it got its start. Glad I finally learned about this fic, if only for that reason alone
“this is what I’m using my graphic design degree for” girl I felt that on a spiritual level
Thank you for posting more fan-binding!
I've become a little obsessed but before I can drop a bunch of money on supplies, I need to wait a few weeks to make sure its not a phase and is something I'm properly invested in. I am also going out of town in a few weeks so I need to wait longer, and I need as much fan-binding content in the meantime 😊❤
18:00 reminds me of the phrase, "the architect's dream is often the engineers nightmare"
Oh my...
I haven't actually read the fic, but I've certainly heard of it's reputation
JESS LESS BOOKBINDING VIDEO??? NOW IT REALLY IS SUMMER
Not in the slightest what I was expecting you to bind, but holy hell it looks cool xD
I knew this was an insane thing to do just from the title, maybe one day I'll build up the resilience to read the fic myself lol
Congratulations on becoming full time!
I discovered your channel a few months ago and your videos are so easy for me to follow and stay invested, and you’ve inspired me to create a diorama of my family’s cottage!
I’m so happy your work has been getting the attention it deserves; so much so that this can be your career- that’s a huge accomplishment! I hope you’re proud of yourself ❤ so excited to see what else you do!
14:07 Very true! I really appreciate seeing your accessible approach to bookbinding - these projects really make it feel like something I could decide to do on a whim. Which I did! The "fanfic into a hardcover" video inspired me to typeset one of my favourite fics, and it was a blast!
So thank you for taking the time to show your process, DIY improv and all xD
Omg the timing, I just finished my own binding of this book today :)
absolutely incredible!!!
Your like one of my favorite artists, everytime I see your posts I go YIPPEE!!
Your previous bookbinding video was legitimately the thing I used to get me in to learning how to bookbind! I did a whole fanfiction bind myself, and now I am SO EXCITED to see the proccess of this leatherbound one!!!!!! 🤩🎉
WAS SO RIGHT IT WAS A GREAT TIME!!!!
man,, when I have a job, will look forward to supporting on patreon.
There’s another medieval-like story that has dragons in it, it’s called Wings of Fire. PLEASE, I NEED TO SEE MY FAV SERIES IN LEATHER IM BEGGING YOU
The temptation to book bind gets stronger and stronger watching this.
The blank signatures on the back are to write a love letter to the main character
"No the pentagram is too much" girl.... you read it. No it's not
always a good day when jess uploads
i love her book binding video
I love your videos. It soothes my soul
I love these videos so much AHHH, someday I hope to bind my own fanfiction
i've never read my immortal, but what the actual fuck. this deserves to be preserved for eternity. i'm horrified.
This is crazy. I love this.
SHUTTTT UPPP THE VOICEOVER OVER THE DRAMATIC MUSIC AT THE ENDDDD???? COMEDY AT ITS FINEST
Congrats on using your degree!
Would love to see my own fics bound. And I have even broken them up into “books” so it shouldn’t be too daunting.
….oh my god you actually did it 🫨.
I love the leather cover you made! I would love to see you bind another fanfiction, and one YOU actually enjoy on a deep level and will rave about.
How’s your sanity after this one?😅
I need to bind this 😂
Then read it all passionately - like all my other books and read 'brilliant' and 'touchy' parts out loud - just to make my roommate think I have officially lost my mind😊
Haven't finished the vid, but I really hope for the dual colouring on it, you thought of using the Cricut to make a template using an adhesive masking sheet then dyeing the non masked area red, then doing the same for the black. Then you could take it off and it should be pretty crisp, and even if it's not, you could cover that with the gold patterns. Imma watch the video and see what you did.
Oh dear.
This video is so funny I love it
Soo great
MY GOD! Now that's an insult. "Based on the fic, she might have misspelt her name." Christ, that has so many levels of insult I don't even know where to start.
🤔 have you thought of doing commissions for this? Like that'd be freakin awesome to have a story of mine turned into a real book!!
This is the best thing of all times.
I did a double take when I saw this video 😆 thought I had fallen asleep while on my iPad and I was dreaming this 🤣
😂😂😂😂
Years later someone will find this book and think it was a real book and it will become part of their book collection.
Once I have my money situation figured out or I win the lotto I’m asking you to book bin all my fav fanfics
Last vidoe: Turning fanfiction into the hardback book it deserves
This video: Turning fanfiction into the hardback book it doesn't deserve
Love a good book binding! You really inspired me to do some book binding of my own.
I bound some Magnus Archives fanfiction, and let me tell any other MAG fans, it's really creepy to check on your drying glue and find a spider on the end pages. Especially for a MAG fanfiction.
I instinctively killed it, hope I didn't make anything mad at me for that, sorry little dude.
Oh my Satan, why does this look so *good?!*
Hey!
These videos are my magnius opium rn. I've watched so many book binding tutorials and they are all so serious.
I've started my first one and i'm honestly just trying to see if i like the hobby without having to spend so money of tools to confirm that.
What did you use to glue the spine together? Was it also Mull?
My friends and i read this during lunch a few months ago, i tried reading a chapter i could not do it😂 its wild
im a simple man. i see a stranger w my immortal and i click
I would love to see you recreate Ranboo’s mask from Generation Loss.
i saw this thumbnail, and though “jess what have you DONE”
"it'll be a book, at least for a little bit..." best line XD
I love this. (Also if anyone is unfamiliar with my immortal and wants more in depth details, strange æons made a series of videos about it)
This is the best day of my life
I wonder if you could do another Harry Potter fanfiction? I kind of want to see “Like a Red Headed Stepchild” by mugglesftw as a book. Or “A childhood well spent” by Isscha.
oh god this is reawakening my desire to make this really long LOTR fanfic into a book, but uhhhh, first of all, lot of work because it's a long one (it's like just a bit short of 159 000 words, and it's in Finnish so physically that's a lot longer than in English bc Finnish has more polysyllabic words), second of all i have no skills, no materials, and no money for the materials, so not gonna happen
YEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
not me immediately starting to copy my favorite fanfiction into a pages book template. it's over 700 pages, wish me luck
Came for mcyt crafts, stayed for cosplay
i didn’t want to click on this but the demons,,, the demons in me wanted to click
I read this fanfic once
Never again
Could you do a project that uses Bookbinder JS? Morrigan Segdae used this application to order the pages for printing in her typesetting tutorial, and says it’s free. It might be a more accessible option than Adobe, so I’m hopeful.
I love to see the Twilight fanfic Forbidden Fruit possibly by Raven the proof reader of My Immortal. The writing is pretty similar and just as bad
Also, I saw a video posted by Raven said saying My Immortal was a joke and they weren't actually Goth, they pretended to be Goth for their YT channel and the fanfics, though Raven doesn't mention Forbidden Fruit, maybe because its not as well known as My Immortal
Very 'noice' but your magna opus is the DnD book still imho🤗
jess since the bones in the ocean video i got reccomended dsmp stuff and fell down that hole for two months. this is your fault i got a hyperfixation on DSMP IN 2024
Buenas buen amigo que conocio my immortal por Rangu y esta viendo este video
The craziest thing is that this fic is older than me
If you ever do another bookbinding video for fanfic, may I request you do ‘hunting toward heartstill’ by blackkat on AO3 if your interested Star Wars fanfic. Just a suggestion.
Ween you take a joke project too seriously:
HOW ON GOD’S GREEN EARTH DO YOU PRINT ON PAPER THAT WAY???? Sorry, I’ve been trying to figure it out for ages
im kinda salty that i cant see the tutorial jess has on patreon. i cant pay ;;
