Yeah, it's so true! And also, like, the number of subscribers you have to your AO3 profile doesn't really matter at all? Subscribing is for the benefit of people who want to be notified of stuff they might like, not for the creator. It is also not visible to anyone other than the person who owns the profile and there is not "algorithm" that boosts people with a lot of subscribers, so it is literally not something I need to worry about. If people want the email, go ahead and subscribe. If they don't want it anymore, go ahead and unsubscribe. It's not about me and it's really not any of my business.
Re: fanbinding, thank you! I think as of yet it's maybe more accurate to say I have bound "book" singular, haha. I bound a Back to the Future fic, which was inspired by this Tumblr post, where Marty is a trans guy and Doc Brown at first is sad when he's born, because he thinks that they altered the timeline so that Marty was never born, but then is delighted when he comes out for renegadepublishing's Tiny Books Bang last year. I've also made a few typesets of other fics, but I haven't gotten around binding anything else yet. It is a fun hobby though! And if you are interested, the Discord server associated with renegadepublishing is a great resource, and there are a lot of good videos on YouTube (I especially recommend DAS Bookbinding).Pics of my bind under the spoiler cut, if you're interested in seeing it
Thanks for wishing me luck! Hopefully I can build on last year's successes, but if not I can always rejig things next year.
