Welcome!

[momijizukamori]

Hello!

We created this community to give more space to the sharing, collaborative, affirmative, renegade side of fanbinding. Our goal is to make it as accessible and as inclusive as possible. We believe that preserving fannish works and history is important for our community and therefore we practice the sharing of our techniques, resources, tips as well as our joys, tears, mishaps and finally, our work. We encourage questions, process notes, pictures; we are here to crowdsource solutions if we can, hold each other’s hands, express our sympathies, cheer each other up and be very, very proud of each other and ourselves.

We are nerds, we want to learn more. We are curious about any topics related to fanbinding: archiving, fancraft, typography, copyright, whatever you see fit.

We are excited to see what kind of new discussions this space will foster.

Welcome and happy binding!

I know the list of resources is coming later, but I came across the Dreamwidth feed for your associated Tumblr account, renegadepublishing_feed, and thought it could might be nice to include it in the links on this post so people who are not on other platforms can still admire the pretty pictures from Dreamwidth? :) Just a suggestion, I'm very excited this comm exists here as well!

Oooh good call, I have gone ahead and added that!

Hi! Not sure where to suggest this, but I recently found this INCREDIBLY information-dense video on graphic design (11 hours of lecture from Cal Arts University), and the second unit is all about typography: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9QTCvayLhCA (Typography starts around the 3:52:-- mark) It's been very helpful for me, and I think it could be useful to add to your resources list. :)
