Handbinding Project: My Immortal by Tara Gilesbie

This really started over a year ago, with a project started in the Renegade Bindery server: people would format different chapters of My Immortal, without knowing what anyone else was doing, and we would put them together into one file. It was agreed upon that everybody would disregard both good design and good taste.

After raiding a Joann’s of materials I thought belonged in Hot Topic circa 2005 (before it just became Think Geek II: We Don’t Light Our Store,) I almost immediately tested positive for covid.

I have no clue if anyones pointed this out yet, but I noticed at the end of episode one of The Owl House, when fireworks are going up, you can see what almost looks like glyphs in them? I’m not sure if thats just the fireworks designs they were exploding in, but I think it would be neat if there were hints to glyphs even in episode 1.

goddamnit
