literally just dawned on me that with my current printer, i can print french flaps and belly bands for my next doujin, and just hand-fold them :o

they're print design peripherals that are very common with JP doujins but i haven't seen a US indie printer know what i'm talking about it when i mention it, lol, even the fancy boutique ones (peow.studio's doujin here is an excellent example of both, with foil to boot.)

making a mental note after all of these Q4 projects are out, next January I want to mock up this for my ashes & ghost doujin.... bonus that mocking it up in advance there will give me good dimensions for my next doujin in 2026 since it'll be the same size (zihark-centric, very likely selfship centric.)

doing french flaps/belly bands would have absolutely killed the negative brainwidth I had for a&g, but i'm under no illusion this next one is going to sell like. five copies at maximum, lol (selfship doujins aren't really a thing, and it's not even spicy). so it'll be a nice easy one to play with perks like this.

there's a general dead dove tellius doujin i kinda want to do for RD's 20th anniversary (and would be better timed marketing-wise), but he's waited long enough for his <3
