Today I’ll show you how I read my fanfics on the iOS app — iBooks!
Exporting fanfics are relatively easy, I like to have all my fanfics on one app so it is easier for me to keep track of. I will be using two websites today: Ao3 and Fanfiction.net to show you how to export a fanfic from those sites.
These are the only two that I know of that can be exported into an ePub (which is going to be the form of reading used on the iBooks app). I am running my device on the highest update, but i know that you can do this on earlier versions of ios devices, things will just be in different places.
Lets start with Ao3 and how to export from there!
AO3 Version:
1. go to your story of choice and click on the download button. This will pop a menu up with different file kinds, press EPUB.
2. this message will pop up, press the download button. You have successfully downloaded a book from ao3 to your iBooks! [scroll downwards for how to open, and how to add a cover to the ePub file]
FANFICTION.NET VERSION:
1. copy the link of your chosen fanfic ( you can also do this with ao3 links, but ao3 has an epub converter built into their system)
Go to this link: fichub
paste your link into the box above the export button.
2. press export.
your file will be converted into multiple forms, press the download as epub version. You have successfully downloaded and exported a fic from ff.net!
3. (optional) Go to this link: Epub Cover Change
Press on EPUB FILE to add the file of your story of choice.
Press on COVER IMAGE to add the image you want to make the cover
IMPORTANT!! change the tab next to Image Resize to FILL so the picture can properly format to the epub size.
Press Change to create converstion.
4. Press Download Now. Wait a few minutes for the conversion to take place.
5. Continue to download.
6. On the upper left hand corner, there will be a circle with an arrow. click it to find your files!
7. press downloads. it will show you all you have downloaded. click on the most recent to chose the one WITH the cover. if its not that one, just delete it from your ibooks once opened and try again with another downloaded file.
8. this should be your outcome! your fic will pop up on your iBook library with other books once you click on the file from your downloads.
I chose to export my own story from AO3, a Tommy Shelby/OC age gap fanfic. I hope you all found this helpful, please let me know if your have questions or book cover requests! I am more than happy to help!
I see the good counselor is available for preorder on the iBooks store, but the release date says March 22, 2022. So we have to wait all that time before it releases officially? I can’t wait lol 😩
Oh yay no way!!!
This is actually the first I’m hearing about The Good Counselor going live on iBooks! I checked this morning and it hadn’t dropped yet.
*checks*
Huzzah!
But yeah. It’s going to be a nice long gestation for this book. I still have to finish the final rounds of editing, I have a cover commissioned, and because it’s been five goddamn years I have to remind people who read Receiver of Many and Destroyer of Light that:
I’m still alive
I have a new book out
Which has been a huge undertaking. I feel like I’m self-promoting the book to the point of pissing literally everyone off, but every time I post something I get a comment to the tune of “omg! I’m just hearing about this!”
I really really liked this book! This is a wholesome, quick read. I probably would've finished this a lot quicker if I had a hard copy. 😅 Between life and death is a library that has an infinite number of lives not taken. The dark opening sets the stage for the existence of the library. The story reads of as episodic but that's aa given considering she's hopping through different lives! I really liked Nora. I felt all of her emotions and realizations. Shes a multilayered character and all her layers, as a sister, daughter, friend, lover and mother are seen throughout the many lives she lives to find the right one for her. The last life had me in tears. 🥺 This was an emotional read. Nora is in a desperate state of mind at the beginning and I liked how her thoughts change course. The book has a dark tone but it's balanced with love, warmth, affection and healing. There were many quotes on life throughout the book and I highlighted a few I liked (swipe). To summarize, this book is about living in the present and now. Not the what ifs and not the how's of the future either. I feel like on some level all of us struggle with this, living in the now (I do!) And this book was a wholesome reminder imo. ⭐⭐⭐⭐ P.S This is my first book by Matt Haig and I liked how he combined scientific concepts (quantum physics, climate change, etc) with art and fantasy. Can't wait to read more of his works. 😊 Definitely recommend. Please do read TWs before you start 🙂 also this would make for a great movie 😁 seeing 'Howl' come to live would be magical 💓 #bookreview #themidnightlibrary #matthaig #thebookofregrets #fantasy #booktography #ebooks #aesthetics #mybookfeatures #booklove #ibooks #quickread #readingslump #recommend #bookrecs #bookstagrid #booktography #libros #booknerdigan #bookhoarder #loveyourshelf #booknookstagram #readersgonnaread #pagesofsilverreviews #pagesofsilver #bookishcommunity #readingisfundamental #bookblog #bookishfeature #youngadult (at Islamabad, Pakistan) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVBASDDAMs0/?utm_medium=tumblr
