For those that like fan fiction. (self.Blind)
submitted by bradley22
If you like fan fiction, keep reading.
I've been helping a guy called Frederik test a program he made.
It's a fan fiction downloader.
It allows you to download fan fiction from fanfiction.net, stories, crossovers, entire author URLS and community pages.
All you do is download the program, run it, find the URL you like,copy it and paste it into the program window and press enter. It's as simple as that. A folder will be created where you put the program, for example;, if I put the program in my downloads folder and download the brad author URL, there will be a Brad author folder in my downloads with all the stories that brad created in it.
This works the same with crossovers and communities.
If you download a single story URL, it will download just that story, in other words; there will be no folder created.
Here's the github link to try it out for yourself, just press enter on the download here link and you'll be downloading tuns of fan fiction in no time.

I use a Chrome extension called WebtoEpub that works pretty well. Nice to have more options in the space,though. One of the first Python scripts I wrote scraped torrents off an audiobook torrent site.

Cool.

Wow, thank you for sharing. I have yet to see a program like this that can download multiple stories at once so I'll have to give this a shot.

I hope you enjoy.

Huh, interesting. My main worry would be using this to download a large community or author; fanfiction doesn't actually allow downloading, so I wonder if it would get my IP banned for spidering the website against the ff terms of service? Or is the program rate limitted?

I didn't know it didn't allow downloading. Well, I've been able to download huge amounts of fan fiction. I think it waits for a certain amount of time each chapter so that you don't get kicked off the site. I've managed to download a harry and Sherlock crossover which is around 799 stories,although it downloadded 750 but that is because there are stories on the page called untitled so because the program saw that, it skipped those stories apart from one.

Previous tools have been disabled from working on the site, so I imagine that it's a risk.
