This is an excerpt from my post I wrote to introduce a webservice I've written which downloads fanfiction from different websites and stores it online in HTML or ePub format. I hope you will find it useful; on the other hand, if you find it buggy, please contact me and I'll fix it asap.


Some of us love fanfiction. Again, some of us don’t — so if you happen to be one of those, you probably won’t find this post of any interest to you. On the other hand, if you are interested — read on.

Today, will all these fancy ebook reading devices it’s really hard to keep yourself sticked to your monitor and reading from the websites such as fictionpress.com, fanfiction.net and so on. I felt that it is rather annoying too, so that’s why I’ve developed a fanficdownloader — a library, which helps to download fanfiction stories from multiple websites (list includes fictionpress.com, fanfiction.net, fanfictionauthors.net and others). Well, it was cool and all that stuff, but people didn’t like it (which is by no means surprising as end-users tend to like GUI applications rather than Python libraries with a clumsy CLI interface). So I went a step further…

… and developed fanfictionloader. Shortly, this is a web service, which does two things:

  1. Allows to download stories from all these different websites and convert them to industry-standard ePub or good old HTML using a very simple web interface
  2. Stores these stories for you (and you only) so you can always download them later.
