I read all you could know about book binding fanfiction, never done it.

Found it hard to parse, and my mind immediately went with “Yeah, of course people have written fanfics about book binding,” foolishly extending rule 34 to cover it. Of course, there might have been that one fanfic about bookbinding.

But yeah, of course people have printed and bookbinded (bookbound[ed]?) fanfics. But for that to have a community? That's unexpected.

And you know what? It shouldn't be called rule 34, but rule 69. Would be much easier to remember that way.

I would be immensely amused if "bookbinding fanfiction" was called Rule 69.

I know that's not what you meant, but it's where my mind went, haha. Fanfiction is all about the weird insider eccentricities, and this sounds like it could be one of them.

Makes me wonder why they (the anons who've compiled such lists back in the day) didn't make that way. Perhaps it's too obvious of a joke, I guess?
