How to bookbind your fanfic!

Part 1: From AO3 to printing

The necessary first step is turning your AO3 fanfic into booklets. Your whole book will be a bunch of booklets piled on top of each others and stitched together.

Booklet examples:

Btw, this is the official Word tutorial on how to make a booklet.

You can see there are different options. I usually do 8 pages, which is what you will see in the video. This means that a booklet of 8 pages is two sheets of paper, printed front and back, folded and one put inside the other. To have your word pages in the correct order you will need to format your word document.

Everything is in the video but here is the text for easy reading (btw the fanfic I used is Exit by schwutthing, an amazing Valjean/Javert fic)

Do not download the fanfic on AO3. Click on "Entire work" and copy paste it on word.

Format your word document. Click on File-> Margins. Select "Multiple pages: Book fold" and "Sheets per booklet: 8". Put "Gutter" to 1cm.

Double click on the empty area just above your text, on a random page of the document. This will make the "Do not download the fanfic on AO3. Click on "Entire work" and copy paste it on word.

Format your word document. Click on File-> Margins. Select "Multiple pages: Book fold" and "Sheets per booklet: 8". Put "Gutter" to 1cm.

Double click on the empty area just above your text, on a random page of the document. This will make the "Header and Footer" option appear. You can click on "Footer" and select the format for the pages' number. Always add the pages number, it will make your life easier.

Now you can justify your book. I usually justify (select all text with CTRL+A and click on Justify), but keep in mind that some documents might not enjoy passing through "justify" so double check your final document. For example, if there are lines of poetry and the author wrote into the next line without starting a new paragraph the justify option will make it weird.

Make your book pretty! I added some illustrations and blank pages. I also made the title of the fanfic bigger.

Fix the chapters' titles and notes. I clicked on Home-> Find and searched for "Chapter", so I could select on each chapter title and make it bold, and also delete the "Chapter text" added just after. You can do the same with "notes" in case you want to delete notes.

Now it is time to print! I prefer to save in pdf before, so I will do that.

IF YOU HAVE A PRINTER THAT DOES NOT PRINT BOTH SIDES

Click on print

Select "Microsoft print to pdf"

Select "Manually print on both sides"

This will create two different files pdf, one for the front pages, and one for the back pages.

Click on the file for the front pages and print them all. Do not panic if you see the pages number all over it.

Now take your printed (only on one side) block of pages and load it into your printer again, making sure that you will now print on the blank back. Open your back pages pdf file and print.

(you can do a trial with a few pages to see if everything is lining up correctly).

IF YOU HAVE A PRINTER THAT PRINT BOTH SIDES

"Click on print

Select "Microsoft print to pdf"

Select "Print on one side"

This will create a single pdf that you can print on your both-sides printer. You will see that the page are not in the order you had on the word document, but the whole file will start with page 8 (see video).

Now print!

What you want is this:

You can see that on the front you have page 8 first, page 1 after, because when folded it will end up with page 1 at the start of your booklet! And on the back of this first sheet you have 7 and 2, that will end up in the correct position.

Now you will have a lot of pages... time to fold and create your booklet! Every two sheets... you will fold as you see above.

Next post will be specifically about folding the booklet, making the holes and sewing them together.

@sfdsds They indeed use the leftover sawdust like material and mix it with riverclay and use it to cover the floors and walls of the inner rooms of their nests. The entranceway does not have this because it might get wet when it rains and then it would just be an absolute muddy mess. The wood clay along with providing extra insulation makes it so the Pygmies wont get splinters from the floor.

In Fact we have news! the Pygmies Nest has been completed! so you can see the new rooms :)

We have seen the entrance area before. but as many of you might have noticed there is in fact some some tunnels branching off into other rooms! The tunnel on the left farthest from the rocks leads to the personal nesting areas.

The Dust Pygmy appears to be sleeping on his recently finished bed :) We should leave before we disturb his rest.

Moving onto the Pygmy Horror's room we can see he is finishing up making his bed!

The Pygmy nightmare is resting in his chambers as well! @topazshadowwolf It seems That This species do in fact enjoy decorating their nests! This Nightmare seems very pleased with his gem :) this knowledge will be valuable in understanding the behaviors of these particular species of Pygmy!

This is The Cross Pygmy's nest area. He seems to be elsewhere at the moment however.

Hmmm it seems the Killer Pygmy's nest room is vacant as well. I wonder where he might have gone?

To continue our little tour we need to return to the entrance area in order to go into the tunnel on the right, closest to the stones. This tunnel leads to the storage area and extra rooms!

Here is an extra room. it will most likely be a Gang meetingplace and hangout area. It seems we have also located the Cross Pygmy! He seems to be checking on the woodclay to make sure it is dry. Though still no sign of the Killer Pygmy? Hmm well we will continue the tour through the lower tunnel. This tunnel leads to the storage area for food and such

!? oh! it seems our little sneaky thief is snitching berries before mealtime! what a little troublemaker :) It seems the storage is already stocked with food. This is a sign of a good and healthy Gang of Pygmies :D This nest will likely be expanded and decorated as the Pygmies continue to make themselves feel more and more at home.

we should leave the Gang to their business now. I wonder what we will witness next in the lives of these incredible little creatures :)

Shen Yuan scowls, concentrating, and then Binghe’s eyes go wide as he stares at Shang Qinghua’s fellow transmigrator in disbelief. Binghe then grips the hand holding the Weeper’s Eye with both of his hands, focusing as well.

- pride is not the word I'm looking for by Tossawary on AO3, Chapter 46: Men and Monsters

sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo as you may be able to tell, ive kinda been getting into svsss <- person who is absolutely deranged about svsss

this fic ive been reading (listening to. the podfic is really good) "pride is not the word I'm looking for" by @tossawary has it's fucking claws in me. and i have no idea how I will cope when i finish reading it...

Yeah so have this thing

anyhow consider reading this fic. You don't have to read Scum Villan to read this (though maybe do because it adds to the suspense?) But if you want a longfic with beautiful found family, a really well written mystery, shang qinghua accidently collecting way too many childern, and shen qingque being terrifying in an awsome and kinda funny way. Read this.

He gave up on changing the story years ago! Yet he finds himself helping his protagonist son's adoptive mother anyway. Just this one change won't matter too much, right? One little change leads to more. Shang Qinghua never meant to care, but he becomes invested in making sure that his new family survives the looming plot. With the changes to the world cascading around him, with his position as a traitor pulling him between his sect and a certain ice demon, and with the protagonist growing up so quickly, how is one displaced author meant to ensure that everything turns out all right? A Pre-Canon to Canon Divergence story.

john and dirk would make the best fucking roommates. between dirks puppet traps and johns love for pranks their house/apartment would be more booby trap than free space. john goes to get a glass of water in the middle of the night and gets buried under smuppets. dirk gets home from work one day and opens a (slightly ajar) door only to get soaked with a bucket of water. they get to keep each other on their toes with escalatingly incomprehensible pranks. the decor is a fucking nightmare. johns nic cage posters right next to dirks my little pony ones. fanciful harlequins on the same shelf as fancy santas. a grand piano filled with orange soda. dirk leaves his throwing stars in the fridge and john packs them into his lunch the next day. they sometimes strife together on the roof/in the backyard as a stress reliever. living together keeps their depression in check and as different as they are theyre both "hero types" (as dave puts it), and they keep each other entertained when there's not a world to save. karkat originally thought they might be secret kismesis, but is now 100% convinced theyre moirails.

(one day dave says he wants to come hang out and they frantically try to dismantle as many traps as they can (because they dont want to bring up any bad memories and theyre trying to look like normal/responsible gods of earth c). they get the traps out of the way but dave still has a heart attack when he opens the bathroom to find Niccolò Arroway Sebastian Segel, a kermit doll modded out with spare robot parts, johns fake arms, leaking blood pellets, a cod piece, a fedora, and a pipe. john and dirk had been fighting for months over whether Niccolò should be wearing shades or a beaglepuss until they both forgot he was there. dave goes back to therapy for a while after that.)

SVSS Fic Rec List

I figured I'd make a fic rec list for the Scum Villain fics I've been reading lately, since that's been a large portion of my recent fic reading. It's 90% Luo Binghe/Shen Yuan, I am a simple woman. (I'm calling SQQ Shen Yuan for this list and original!SQQ Shen Jiu, to avoid confusion.)
