Who's got some good tips on keeping track of all that fic? I'm putting most of it in Calibre what with using that for converting it and making my ebook reader do my bidding, but it's too much trouble for shorter fic.

And then there's the problem of wanting to keep track of fic I didn't like all that much. :/ I don't have any great need to save it, but the rating feature in Calibre's reasonably convenient once I've already gone to the trouble of adding it.

Anyway, I'm sure y'all have some ideas! Do you use Delicious, maybe? And if so, what's the most hassle-free way to do it? Thanks for the help!

Since you like saving the graphics and comments, why not try Scrapbook Plus? It's a Firefox Addon. It saves webpages. I usually save things in folders (ex. Fandom/Pairing/Author/Story Title by Author). You can import/export, backup, etc.

The only downside I've found with Scrapbook Plus are that it doesn't have any sort of tag functionality. I've written the developer before, but never received any reply. :(

I've just started to export a few of my scrapbook folders into temp. folders so I can see how Calibre treats them on import. So far, I'm finding the more organized I was in Scrapbook, the better the odds are that Calibre will give me a title/author combo in some way. Hunting those things up really takes a lot of time. Ugh.

Ok, I'll stop rambling now... :)

When I started this system I was still a diehard Maxthon user. I have since switched to Firefox and use the Scrapbook addon - not as fully as I probably should. I need to brush up on that.

The lack of tags would be an issue for me - one of the biggest plusses to Calibre is that I can tag things and then when I'm in the mood for say...drunk fics, I find all of them easily. *g*

Scrapbook is an EXCELLENT idea though, for people with different needs, AND it might make a good addition to my fic management arsenal

Scrapbook has been the only thing I've used for years, so there's lots and lots of fic in there (an not all of it sorted, eek!), but until I found this community, it was the only option I was familiar with. If only it was taggable! :(
