Hi, I’m Birdie!
​
To paraphrase a dear fictional friend of mine, “I’m an Aquarius (true), I enjoy sunsets (also true), long walks on the beach (less true) and frisky women (not true but I support any/all who do). And I did not kill anyone (true). But I know who did (not true, I’m not a rat).”
I’m an avid reader and Destiel enthusiast who had the great, good fortune of stumbling across two kindred spirits in the PB discord - one who gave me the courage to ask for help in bringing a treasured fic into life, and the other who worked her witchy magic on it and created my very first stunning hard copy.
Since that lucky moment when we three became entangled, we embarked on a mission together: to bring more of our favorite stories from our ereaders to our bookshelves.
Listen, I’ll let you in on a secret. I don’t actually do any typesetting. I lack the skill set and the software and probably the patience, if I’m continuing to be honest. But I’d like to think that I make up for my complete lack of skills in the aforementioned areas with my humble ability to forge meaningful connections with prospective authors and artists while seeking their permissions to turn their beloved fics into special, limited edition hard copies. That and borderline obnoxious levels of enthusiastic sideline cheerleading while Treaciel does the real heavy lifting. Gooooo, team!
Working with Treaciel and Sann to bring these precious fics to life as tangible works of art is a true honor and also a constant source of joy. My sincerest hope is that the love we three share for this fandom, its creators, and its content, is reflected in every turn of the page of these beautiful hard copies.
ABOUT US
Sann
Communication Manager
“Hello Dean.”
Oh wait, that’s probably not your name. “Hello stranger” is most likely a better fit. Let’s try this again.
​
Hello stranger,
I’m Sann, avid reader of Destiel fanfic, mom of 2 gremlins and (fan)art collector extraordinaire.
​
Some time ago, someone whispered in my ear that there were physical copies of my most beloved Destiel stories out there. I embarked on a quest to procure these magical items. Through a labyrinth of Social Media, Tumblr and Discord I was able to find them and eventually hold them in my greedy hands. I was satisfied, for a while.
​
After that, I began thinking of other stories I’d love to add to my collection, and I found myself tangled with 2 fellow enthusiasts who were also dreaming of a Destiel fanfic collection with all the best stories the fandom has to offer.
​
To be completely fair, I can't typeset anything to save my life, as I lack any and all talents in that department. Fortunately I have Treaciel to take care of business. I can hear you think: “Okay Sann, that’s nice and all, but what do YOU exactly bring to this collaboration?”
Honestly? Not so much.
​
I'd like to think of me as a cheerleader, standing a bit to the side, commenting and delivering on ideas for covers, page elements and dividers. I'm also very proficient in screaming very loud when Treaciel makes the visions in my mind come to life with her designs. Besides that, I love to make nice with authors, asking them for permission to immortalize their stories on paper, and sometimes even befriending them! I hope the joy that this process brings us three shines through every one of these limited edition beauties
Treaciel
Graphic Typesetter
Hiya! I’m Treaciel!
I’m a mom of one hyperactive monster, a graduated graphic designer with a specialization in typesetting, and a dedicated fan of Destiel. I work fulltime as a Graphic Typesetter mostly for dissertations for PhD candidates, and once I’m home I go back behind my laptop to use my talents on Destiel hardcopies.
Some fun facts:
-
My studio is on the couch with only my laptop and tablet.
-
My mousepad is my best friend.
-
I'm an introvert. That's the main reason I got Birdie and Sann.
When I’m not crafting hardcopies of fanfiction, I’m also writing my own fanfics and diving into the incredible works of others — whenever time allows. Storytelling has always been a passion of mine, whether I’m reading, writing, or bringing someone else’s words to life in a new way.
​
​When it comes to creating hardcopies, I work closely with Sann, Birdie and the authors to ensure every detail reflects the heart of the story. From fonts to page elements and cover designs, every aspect is thoughtfully crafted.
I like to think my little touches — like unique page elements and my quick efficiency — set my work apart in the world of fanfiction hardcopy production. My ultimate goal? To make every book a double masterpiece: a story you love and a design you’ll proudly display on your shelf.
Let’s celebrate Destiel and its amazing stories together — one beautifully bound hardcopy at a time.
