this is a repost of a tutorial I posted on tumblr in response to an ask from a friend - it broke containment, as it were, and became more popular than I anticipated.

thebeautifulsoup asked: Do you have any quick-and-dirty book/fic binding methods a terrified-of-failure novice could use to bang something out to get over the first collywobbling step of Actually Doing The Thing? (this may be something I've been meaning to ask for ages)

( yes! I absolutely do! )
