Asking before binding.

I know it is fandom etiquette to ask before binding and that you cannot sell it due to legality. However, it is not required to ask before downloading a fanfic. I’m just generally confused as to why you can have a digital copy on your drive without explicit permission but you cannot bind a physical copy for yourself without permission. Is it because the download feature is directly built into AO3 and thus is to be expected? Please help me clear up my confusion.

The Legend of Liob by Killbothtwins

My second binding done! Unlike my first one this one has a lot of mistakes and mismeasurments but maybe it's thematic lol. Accidentally made the outside case too long, so I popped some of my extra extremely bright orange circles on it like a little reading frame.

Another good experience where I learned a lot!

Some mistakes were made (not all of them fixable), but I'm happy with the final result.

I'm already working on the second one. If anyone has tips for gluing this kind of cover in the correct position, let me know! (It's not 100% straight, and I have no idea what I can do to avoid this from happening again. The paper is too thick to see through it)

Hello!

I stumbled into bookbinding because i wanted to make authentic storage of my card games with books as deckboxes, and it has finally snowballed into me making my first fanbinding.

I am doing an old book that has stopped being published about 20 years ago, but I need help with a book cover.

Do you all design yours, or is there a website depot I could look through? I think of myself more as a preservationist over an artist, so I'm stuck. What are y'alls go-tos?
