fic by the numbers

rules: give us the links to your fics with the most hits, second most kudos, third most comments, fourth most bookmarks, fifth most subscribers, and fic with the fewest words.

Most Hits: Please Honey (just tell me you want me) Darcy x Bucky, MCU, multichap (completed), 23 650 hits

Heartbroken and bitter, Darcy Lewis navigates a life surrounded by superheroes, her ex and his new girlfriend. Good thing she has good friends and a Netflix account to get her though it... a tall handsome Sergeant doesn't hurt either.

Second Most Kudos: Operation: Plums  Darcy x Bucky, MCU, Multichap (not completed), 1 110 kudos

Steve gets sent on an important mission to pick up... plums? *** "Who are you?" “I’m Darcy Lewis.” She smiled and held out her left hand to him, wiggling her fingers under his nose so he could see the diamond ring sparkling there. “I’m Bucky’s fiancé.” ***

Third Most Comments: 3 Years, 6 Months, 5 Hours (and the 365 days after that) 

Steve x Darcy, MCU, Multichap (not completed... but sooo close), 88 comment threads.

What do you do when you have a crush on your friend? Well if you're Steve Rogers, you'll avoid her like the plague. What do you do when that plan backfires in the worst way possible? Over and over again? I'm seriously asking here because Steve has no clue.

Fourth Most Bookmarks: Therapy Cooking 

Darcy x Bucky, MCU, oneshot, 256 bookmarks. (one of my favourite fics that I've ever written tbh)

Bucky enrolls in a cooking class recommended to him by Sam. (Well Sam signs him up and Bucky decides he's got nothing to lose by going.) It's a therapy cooking class for people with PTSD, and the brunette that ordered Chinese food instead of cooking is rather intriguing. Her name is Darcy and she’s clever, and she doesn’t make a big deal out of his shoulder stump.

Fifth Most Subscriptions: Cosmic Love 

Darcy x Bucky, MCU, multichap (completed), 67 subscribers

Darcy had been through enough life-changing encounters in her life to warrant her own TV-show. Or at least a lifetime move... maybe two. However, following her boss to the most relcusive country in the world in the name of science (and funding) leads to probably the most life-altering encounter in her life thus far... she just doesn't know it yet. Or: Darcy follows Jane to Wakanda and while working on her own astrophysics degree, she ends up befriending a lost asset, finding his way in a strange new world

Fic with Fewest Words: Samesies 

Steve x Darcy, MCU, Oneshot, 1 656 words

Steve runs into a friend he hasn't seen in a while, and because these kinda things just happen to Steve, he also runs into his ex on the same day. All he wanted was to learn how to bake.

[hannahsfandos]

Part ii of We'll Meet Again, my first multichap series. Sequel to Cosmic Love

After Thanos snapped his finger and turned half the universe to dust, Darcy looks around an realises the great dusting took her whole universe with it.

Darcy navigates grief and growth in an old, new world, heart aching with the absence of her loved ones.

[hannahsfandos]

Darcy follows Jane to Wakanda and while working on her own astrophysics degree, she ends up befriending a lost asset, finding his way in a strange new world.

Chapter iii - SPACE OPERA

“I’ve seen you around,” she breaks the silence. “I’ve been around.” It sounds casual, but still loaded in meaning. She doesn’t know him enough to read anything into it.  “Stalker much?” She teases, falling back into the flirty banter that had made him smile the first time. Chancing it.  “You should press charges,” he rewards her with a smile. “You’ve been avoiding me.” He states. It doesn’t sound accusing. He said it the same way he'd said he'd been around.  “A little."  mostly I’ve been avoiding you because I have a crush on you that’s why I’m acting like a tween... "I was encouraged not to seek you out after…” She waves vaguely, it’s partially true.  He bristles, then hums in understanding, “Steve.” She looks at him, illuminated by the incredibly bright, starry sky. Once again, she is floored by the intensity of his eyes, and she blushes, looking away and willing herself to calm down.  “I’m not avoiding you now,” she almost whispers to her hands instead as she picks at her fingers. “I want to get to know you,” she admits.

Steve and Darcy have WORDS. Darcy celebrates Christmas with Erik, and accidentally has another awkward interaction with Bucky when she gets back.

Bucky meanwhile, gets the urge to take up farming.

Yeah, it baffles Darcy too.

This is chapter 1/7 in a fic that is part 1/3, I need a beta reader, please send me a message if you wanna help me out! (you don’t have to commit to extensive and long lasting beta work, but if you could look at the chapers I have finished and the outline for the rest of it and tell me if I am a madwoman then that would be great ;) ) 

[hannahsfandos]

Darcy keeps on doing that sweet sweet torture

Steve realises his feelings might be even deeper than he thought possible.

Oh and Steve gets jealous.

(Again: Steve wouldn’t get a clue if it hit him in the face and called him stupid.)

[hannahsfandos]

Steve (finally) gets the radical notion that Darcy might actually like living with him.

(Cue all their friends rolling their eyes so hard they get a headache.)

Oh, and Darcy starts doing yoga. Steve doesn't know what to do with himself. Help!

[hannahsfandos]

Reasons I’ve heard why Princess Kate is “missing” in no particular order:

• BBL

• facelift

• prepping for going on The Masked Singer

• growing out a bad fringe

• mental breakdown (possibly due to William knocking up Rose Hanbury)

• going on drag race All Stars (courtesy of Bianca Del Rio)

• they’re getting a divorce

•induced coma

• she’s straight up just dead and the royals are just digitally “weekend at Bernie’s”-ing us

• she’s moved to a small town and has met a man who doesn’t know she’s a princess and is teaching her the real joy of Christmas.

• she’s recovering from abdominal surgery on medical advice (booooooo)

Chapter 9 In for the kill.

Someone goes in for the kill

No, not Steve.

He's got a little while to flounder before he might get a clue.

No it's not Darcy either... Though if it was, I'm pretty sure Steve wouldn't recognise it as her coming on to him, even if she did something radical like ask him out or somehting

CHAPTER 8:

Darcy is single, but miserable. Steve feels conflicted. Natasha is a good friend.

*Insert gif of Nat being a G*

“So… Why didn’t you tell me you almost died chasing down that shooter at the restaurant?”

“Because I didn’t... Who told you?” “It doesn’t matter, and we’ll set aside the fact that you left it out of the report so I wouldn’t find out.” “I did not.”

So... who told Lucy?

1. Smitty

“Hey Chen,” Lucy rolled her eyes as she looked up at Smitty, a habit she’d picked up from Tim.

“Smitty,” she smiled politely, closing the report she was looking over, “what can I do for you?”

“Chen, ask not what you can do for Smitty, but what Smitty can do for you.” Smitty grinned, nodding at her.

This may be a stupid question, but how did you do the formatting for the changling to make it a printed book? it looks so fabulous. As one of my favorite fics, I have been thinking about doing this, but haven't been able to figure out how. Thanks!

 Hey! 

Not a stupid question at all, I still haven’t printed mine yet (my printer is out of ink) but I found a random user on tiktok (ericka.thomas) who made a couple of tutorials.Im using @annerbhp’s fabulous fic in the background of my screenshots :)  The fonts I used i googled and downloaded ages ago, they are called Lumos and Harry P the small images on top of chapter titles are something I threw together in half an hour bc I wanted a black and while detail pr chapter. 

Bur how to format a fic in general into a printable file with booklets:

How to format a fic into a book for printing in word;

Basically you start with a document, (Word document, u can’t do this in google docs)

 Step1 Layout;

And go to the layout and page setup and make sure you set it up in landscape as a book print. If you do it like I did here u should b good. 

The reason why u want 32 sheets pr booklet is because that gives you 8 A4 papers per booklet that you sew together to make the binding better than just folding it in half. When you print your document, make sure you print on both sides (flipping on the short end) and it will print in little booklets with the right page numbers.  step2

Make a habit of using headers. In all your writing.

If you select a chapter title and edit it to have the font and colour and style you like (after making it a heading), you can right click the heading and make that the default style of the heading. Like so:

You can also do the same with “normal” text (even save it as a style) highlight your text and give it the font and size and colour you like and then go into paragraph and set up your indentations and alignments like so:

And so:

After you have made all your text normal text with headers you can go to the start of your document and click reference, table of contents and click the first option and it will make a chapter index with page numbers on it for you using the headings (this is why using headings in everything you write is important. Makes navigating so much easier, especially is you end up with 400++ pages!) 

Step3 

Page numbers: 

Doubleclick your header or footer (depending on where you want your page numbers) If you want the page numbers on opposite sides of the pages then click the “different odd and even pages” and insert your page numbers:

Step 4: The Asthetics

At the end all I gotta do now is insert my little pictures for the chapter titles and I also chose to make the little breakers into stars by inserting a little picture (manually I mght add) and using ctrl+F to find every instance of *  *  * 

LAST STEP MATH

Sorry, but you gotta do maths before you start printing.  Stert by doing a test print to see what your text looks like with these settings on our printer (print just a few pages) For example; I have european paper, so I needed to change my spacings.I also personally prefer smaller font and spacing so I changed it until I got the book from 650+ pages to 468.  This is where maths comes in.  your total page number has to be divisible by the number of seets in your booklet. I got a total of 468 pages, but if I divide that by 32 I wont get a whole number, so I added pages until I got 480 pages. (This is why books sometimes have blank pages at the start or the end btw In these extra pages you can add your chapter index, aknowledgements, info abt the fic, the author, art, maps whatever u want, go through your books to get inspired.)  YOU ALSO NEED to have at least 2 blank pages at the beginning and end of your document as these will be glued into your cover when you assemble it.  Again testprint your book. I also found that I had put mu page numbers in the wrong corners and needed to change odd and even footers. This is why u test print so u dont have hundreds of useless pages!! Let me know if you have any questions! .

Fic Rec: The Changeling

  So one of my favourite fics is The Changeling by @annerbhp which is an amazing fic. Ginny is sorted into slytherin and this fic follows her through her 6 years at Hogwarts and when edited and put into a book format it is a whopping 600 pages of BAMF female action and fleshed out characters and it stays pretty close to canon except for Ginny being in a different house and the POV being from a slytherin surrounded by slytherins. I love how you also get to know more Slytherin characters that Harry’s POV didnt give the time of day as well. 

Inspired by tiktok book binders I wanted to convert my fav hp fic into a book so I spent time editing this fic into the 600 page file i mentioned above and had so much fun making the cover and little chapter illustrations:

And I had so much fun with this and cant wait to print it out and make my own physical copy of this amazing story. 

Annerb writes brilliantly and the series continues through The Armistice Series (which is Hinny centered but keeps true to The Changeling and it’s characterisations and deals with the consequenses of the war++)

Zuko not-so alone by @hannahsfandos

In which Katara somehow joins Zuko in his solo travels through the earthkingdom and the moment they enter the village Zuko (who now knows his recent enemy well enough) is already preparing for whatever fisticuffs-for-justice she’s gonna drag him into.

Well, its not like she can make him do anything, they just happen to have the same opinions and sense of justice but she’s a bit more rash than even him and he has to reunite and apologise to his uncle because he’s not had a moment of rest since he started travelling with her. 

This is basically the moment they witness someone strong bullying someone weak and mutually agree to interfere.

Hermione, Harry and Ron being intimidating 12 (and 11) year olds bc preteens scare the living shit outta me.

thanks to @hihiyas/@hiyasdoodles and @textsfromumbridge for doing that 1 hour creative race that prompted me to finish this!
