    I used to make my own books. I stopped for a while because it's a pain in the ass.

    I think I might start again.

      I currently have layout done for the fanfic Shada novel, the Firefly fanfic novel "My Own Kind of Freedom" by Steven Brust, The House on the Borderlands, The Mysterious Affair at Styles, The Radio Beasts, and The City That Paid To Die (a Spider pulp, and the first book in the lauded Spider vs Empire State trilogy.)

      Anyway, once I'm done repairing this fucking printer it'll be time to go home, but I'll do up a couple more books tomorrow.

      Have I mentioned how much I hate Epson printers?

      Best prints I've ever gotten 1 time in 10, and a bunch of god awful bullshit 9 times in 10.

      So a couple of observations:

      1) It's pretty obviously a fucking book.

      2) Our color printer is fighting with me again.

      3) I did the binding with hotglue, but forgot to smooth it before I applied the cover.

      4) I didn't score the cover before I applied the cover even though I know I'm supposed to. I just forgot.

      5) I have a fucking glue binder and glue binder sheets in this building right now. Why did I use hotglue?

      This is a piece of doctor who fanfiction written to finish Shada, the unfinished Douglas Adams episode.

      Adams used Shada as the base for Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency in the belief that the script would never see the light of day.

      Then the BBC released all the finished footage, and also the script leaked, and also the fan fic was published.

      Then the BBC released it as a flash animation with the 8th doctor.

      Then they animated all the missing bits for the fourth doctor and released it.

      Then they had someone else novelize it.

      It is, at this point, probably the most accessible episode of classic who.
