hi! i saw your "save all the fic" post (tysm for that btw!!!) and i want to make an anthology epub, but for some reasons the anthology options don't appear on calibre when i click the fanficfare arrow (i downloaded it yesterday). do you know why and if yes, could you maybe explain how to get them? tysm either way and sorry to bother you <3
Sure!
Let’s say that rather than collecting each individual story, I want to make an anthology of everything that a particular writer wrote. Or a series.
Copy and paste the link from AO3 and open up calibre:
Click on the down arrow on the FanFicFare plugin and select “Get Story URLs From Webpage.”
When the dialog button pops up, select “For Anthology Epup:”
Now, you’ll notice, from the screenshot above, that this is only 20 of the 78 works that this author is written, because that’s all AO3 will show you on a page. If you want them all, you just need to go to the next page, copy that address, and repeat. All of the URLs will then pop up in the list and you can then select Ok to create the anthology.
The problem that I have with the anthology method is that you can’t update it. If an author completes a story or writes a new part to the series, you then have to create a whole new anthology.
Glad that this has been helpful!
