Printing your own fanfic - 101

Hello, my friends.

My post about printing my fic Mesmerize has much more notes than I expected, and now someone came to my ask box, asking for help in this case.

And I have to admit, that if you didn't do that before it can be overwhelming. So I will do an explanation for you, and if you have any question then, don't be afraid to ask me then.

I printed my fic with the website LULU.com. It's a site where you not only can print your own books, you can do photo books, calendar, note books etc.

Please have in mind that you shouldn't sell your fanfic ( no really, believe me, don't even try to make money with that shit, you will end in hell), we only want to print it.

AND I hope I don't need to tell you that you shouldn't take someone's fanfic and print it. NO NO NO .... at least not without asking... that wouldn't be nice from you... and I don't like assholes you know

THE START

THE WORD DOCUMENT

THE COVER

OR

use the canvas cover maker on the website ( this comes at a later point)

GETTING READY TO FINISH THAT SHIT

Now that you have the pdf of your book and the cover as an png we can upload everything to the site

UPLOAD YOUR BOOK

you have to upload that pdf you created earlier. It may take a bit time, if you have more sites ( like me 450 lol), and don't worry if it shows that the graphics are not ok. I ignored it, and I'm still happy with my book. I mean I didn't insert high resolution pics in there...

CREATING THE BOOK

next step is to decide, how your book will look like

DESIGN YOUR COVER

There are two possibilities

LAST CHECK

It will upload now

and then you can see a preview of what your book will look like

if you don't like what you see, like the interior is shit, or you don't like the cover, you only need to change it.

But don't forget if you change the word document, to export it again.

If you're happy then with what you see you can add it to card

WAIT

You need to wait. I have no idea how long it lasts when you're from the US or another country. I only can say it lasts 2 to 3 weeks for delivering in germany.

but then : CONGRATULATIONS you hold your own book in your hands. And believe me: Even if nobody except for you should read it. You will be proud like hell on yourself ( and you can be, I mean you wrote a fucking story!)

Ask me any book title?

This is so wholesome

Update: he finally got the cat to the vet to see if she had a microchip

I was already on board with his sweet wholesome open-to-love-and-nurturing heart but I was fully unprepared for getting to that last tweet and seeing how off the hook HOT dude is

https://twitter.com/pariszarcilla?lang=en heres his twitter is here there is also additonal cat photos of his children. 

CAT DAD IS BACK

aww, the kids grow up so fast. ;-;

HHHHHHHH I LOVE CAT DAD!

This is, by far, the single most adorable fucking thing I have ever seen. 

update:

I love that he kept …. All of them.

I’ve reblogged the earlier part of this thread before, and the new stuff makes it even better.

This is the Tumblr equivalent of a warm hug on a cold day.

You’re welcome.

I remember this thread, but I never saw the grown-up pics ❤
