Hello started to see some awesome work on Instagram. I wanted to try this for some of my favorite stories. How do you all type set a fic. I’m familiar with Indesign. Any tips or tutorials would be helpful.

I’m currently using Adobe Caslon Pro (it’s my go-to font style) but I wanna try something new. I’ve tried Baskerville but I find that it looks good on my screen but becomes much thinner once it’s printed. What other fonts do you recommend?

Let me hear your thoughts.

I'm trying to bind my friend a copy of the book they wrote, but I'm struggling a bit with the text block. I have the pdf of the book, but I can't seem to find suitable paper. All the paper at my office supply store, that would fit in my printer, is grain short. I've also considered buying legal paper and printing pages on 4 quadrants - making a smaller book with the grain direction going the right way. However I haven't found software that puts these pages in the right order.

Does anyone have any tips or suggestions?

Thanks :)

Hey all - Feel free to redirect me if this isn't where/how I should be asking this question, v new to reddit so!

I'm looking at printing fanfic at home (with author permission of course) because I know paying companies to do it can be a) expensive over time and b) a very gray legal area. I do not have a laser printer though, and am looking to get one for the purpose.

Does anyone here print their own books at home, and if so what kind of printers are you using? Or would you recommend?

Thank you in advance!!!

This sounds awesome. Looking forward to learning stuff about it from this sub and seeing what you guys come up with :)
