Disclaimers:
It is illegal to make profit from intellectual property that I do not own.Please also understand that it is illegal to bind fanfic using online self-publishing/printing sites such as B&N Press and Lulu. When you use these sites you are paying for their services, not only the materials. This fact makes this practice unethical and illegal as they are making a profit on intellectual property.
Hi y'all!
I'm Andi, Bazaroff, Baz or whatever else you want to call me.December 2019 was a rough one after watching the movie that shall ot be named. It led me on a spiral into Reylo Fanfic and I have been on thousands of incredible journeys now with thanks to so many talented authors.I grew up in a small town and my first job was at this little independent bookstore. I lived with my nose in a book more than it was out of one, and even turned my nose up at ereaders for the longest time because I preferred the feel of paper. It's kind of ironic now considering I have barely touched a real book since discovering the world of fanfiction.Fast forward to June and I began writing. It was something I never thought I would do but it was a beautiful escape from the world around me and the dark circumstances of our year. I met amazing friends along the way, and they brightened the year and kept me in positive spirits. Through them, I discovered omgreylo on twitter, and grew fascinated with binding.I've always been a big crafter. Painting, cross stitch, sewing, etc. I also tend to dive headfirst into new hobbies, so here we are. I have watched hours of youtube videos, read articles, and pestered Sam (omgreylo) with so many questions. I cannot express my gratitude enough towards her for her help and guidance.

Commissions are currently closed.Thank you so much for your interest, and your patience <3 I hope to bring the stories you love to your bookshelf soon!Commissions will be taken on a first come first serve basis with no early access. After spending time tracking my costs I have been able to calculate my fixed and variable costs to ensure that this is a no-profit craft that I am sharing. Cost to you as the commissioner are only for shipping and materials, ensuring that I am not receiving any payment for my services. I do not use fixed costs for commissions as variables such as shipping or material price changes occur.Process:
1. Commissions will be taken through Ko-Fi. An announcement will be made on Instagram and Twitter to note date and time that commissions become available. Limited spots will be available so please mark your calendars.2. A deposit is required to reserve a commission through Ko-Fi. This cost is that of the fixed cost of materials, regardless of size of book. (ie: binders board, covers, end papers, mull etc.)3. Once typeset is complete, with finalized page count, final cost can be calculated. I will get in contact with you to complete final payment for total cost. We will confirm your address at this stage as well.4. Upon completion of bind, you will receive a tracking number for shipping which includes insurance in the event of loss.
If you cannot afford once typeset is complete, I can either hold your deposit for next round of commissions, or your deposit can be returned to you (excluding transaction fees).
Things happen. I understand.If you fail to respond to messages for final payment, your deposit will be made as a donation to ao3.org.If your package is returned to me, and you do not respond for attempt of re-delivery, the full cost paid to me (minus original delivery fee) will be made as a donation to ao3.org.
This is a hobby I was highly interested in and decided to begin practicing, and I make absolutely no profit. If I do not bind from your preferred site or for your preferred ship, please look into Renegade Publishing on Tumblr.
I will only bind fics that can be found on Ao3. This is the only platform I am familiar reading from and the most user friendly to typeset from. This means no wattpad or fanfiction.net. Google/Word docs I am open to discussing but make no guarantee.
I am only binding the following pairings at the moment. This is because upon finishing a typesetting, I read through the work to check for any formatting issues. It is hard for me to do so efficiently with a ship that is of no interest to me. I will bind any fic within these pairings as long as they meet the other guidelines. I am a trash compactor and will read anything, and I mean anything, so I will not deny your commission for any CW/TW but these are always appreciated so that I may prepare myself.
7.8.22 updates:
Additional Ships
Darklina (Shadow and Bone)
Klaroline (Vampire Diares)
Eddisy (Stranger Things)
*this list is subject to change at any time
Fics bound into a single volume must be within 50K-150K words. If you are interested in binding a fic above that limit, we can discuss separating the work into two volumes. Fics below this limit can be bound into a “Collection” to reach this word count, as long as all fics included are by a single author.
I require clear, written consent from authors and artists before I will bind their work. Each commissioner must obtain their own permission. A screenshot of the conversation with the author is sufficient! (If you are the author of the work you are trying to have bound, you are welcome to provide yourself with written consent, though, while entertaining, it is not necessary)
Failure to follow these guidelines will result in your deposit being refunded.While not required, I encourage you to provide my website to the author/artist when requesting consent. As an author myself, I know I would prefer to have some knowledge of the process/binder to ensure I am making an informed decision or reach out with concerns.
