Description
I really love this fanfic ;u;- but I'm not very fond of reading long stories on a screen _ ___"
Thus I printed the entire fic, and made a book <3
I used this amazing tutorial: part 1 [link] and part 2 [link] ^u^
The Shoebox Project is not written by me ~
It can be found here: [link]
It's a Harry Potter fan fiction set in the Marauders era,
mostly written from Sirius and Remus point of view :3

EDIT
Q: How did I do the page layout part / how did I figure out, how to print the pages in the right order?
A: When you print, there should be a function called "booklet" and then you can choose to print the 'front' or the 'back' - you just print either of them first, and then turn the papers, put them back in the printer and print the other side :3
I messed it up the first times, but just try and if you're doing it wrong, you can always try again ^u^

Hey. I was just wondering how you got the pages in the right order. I've been printing in "booklet", but when I rotate the pages in the printer, they come out in the wrong order. Are you able to help me at all? Thanks! ^_^ The book is beautiful.

Hey, I was just wondering how you got the pages in the right order. When I print the files with "booklet" and rotate the page as I put it back in, it will print the pages on both sides, but they're out of order. Do you know how to fix this? Thanks

Thank you <3
It should get in the right order though, when you choose booklet?
I can't remember exactly how, and my new computer is so weird.
But I went to "print" in adope reader, and chose "booklet printing",
then I printed "front side" first and turned the papers to print "back side".
The pages will of course come in a weird order when you just have them,
but they should fit when you fold them together.
I made loads of mistakes, turning the pages the wrong way and such.
But eventually it worked out.
I'm not sure if I can describe it better. I am sorry!
But if you just search for "booklet printing" I'm sure there are people out there,
who are better at explaining it than me.
I hope you'll figure it out (:
- and so sorry for the very late answer!

But I hate reading on a screen, and it's such a brilliant fic x'D
- and I do love books, so the opportunity to make one myself was utterly tempting.
It's this text, which I decided to print in the back: [link]
It's from the fic (which also holds small pictures and notes etc. like this.)

id screw it up somehow, also have they finished writing it yet or is it still ongoing??

You never know until you try ^u^
Fanlore says: "In 2005 updates slowed to a trickle, where they remained until the community was hacked in November, 2008. Both authors insist that it remains a WIP and continue to collaborate whenever they find time." [link]
But I've seen other people make prints of it, and I guess most fans believe it's finished ^^' I don't know really ~
