For Those Times J.J. Abrams Abramses Up Your Day. Cumberkhan? You Just Got Abramsed. Every Non-mother

both fanfiction and podcasts give me a lot of feelings about the potential ephemerality of online media. obviously, no one plans for these things to vanish, but they do, and that lack of permanence gives me feelings. anyway, the silt verses was my first candidate for binding podcast transcripts, because even when you don’t have the audio, the prose is just fantastic.

i half-chose the cover paper because i wanted to nod to the birdwatcher’s book that carpenter disguises her copy as, and half because it’s just really nice paper and feels appropriate even though i’m pretty sure those are seaside birds

formatted in two columns and smaller font both as a space-saving measure (this came out to about 300 pages) and to evoke a biblical style.

(my ideal vision for a bookbound silt verses was: softcover in faux-leather with gilded text, transcripts printed on thin bible paper, and a dustcover designed to look like a birdwatcher’s book, with a publishing emblem inspired by the waxen scrivener. but there are many aspects of that i have neither the skills nor resources for, and i’m very happy with how this turned out!)

I like the “plays for the other team” entendre because it implies that asexual people play for no team. We merely watch from the stands, confused by the world of sports, just like I do in real life.

i finally got around to getting the firefox youtube dislikes extension and i think this enhances my experience immensely

1. You have rather cool handwriting. 2. OH MY GOD COFFEE WITH CONDENSED MILK *gross sobbing into his tea*

Thank you, thank you. ❤ It's given me a bit of trouble here and there throughout my school years, but I'm fond of it all the same. *stirs sweetened condensed milk into her coffee* *winks conspiratorially*

Anyway! Your handwriting is quite the thing too, you know. I can't say I've seen anything like it, in fact, which got me thinking... Awhile back, SouperJesus and I fell for handwritten fonts and gave making our own a go at http://www.myscriptfont.com/. Mine was a bust (couldn't wrangle my ascenders and descenders into frame), but Soup's went off without a hitch. I still use it whenever I need to cover up the more sensitive bits of my scrapbook pages and such.

I'm betting yours would really be something, though. It just takes printing off their template, writing in your letters, numbers, and punctuation marks, scanning and uploading it, and you're the proud originator of a vector font file. Consider it?
