okay. I've been reading fanfic for years and years and years. printed it out on dotmatrix printers, saved it on 3.5" floppies, read it on usenet and on an old cheap mp3 player as txt docs back in 2005. now I
Robin Season
read it on my computer and phone and tablet. I read it in my browser usually for shorter, new fics, or on my tablet in an e-reader for longer, complete stories
Robin Season
I've even found a function that auto reads them for me, that I've been using for a fic I'm currently hooked on, when it updates while I'm on the 8 hour drive to Houston
Robin Season
I've also been cranky about how hard it is to get fic from FFnet
Robin Season
but now I got calibre to manage things and found a way to fetch them with a plug-in O_O
Robin Season
so yeah, I might have downloaded 40 of my favs while I slept, last night >>
Robin Season
I also wanted to share, just in case any of the rest of you have this issue
Robin Season
it's the fanficfare plug-in
Robin Season
I also didn't realize epubs were just a zipped collection of html and css etc
Robin Season
I went in and edited things last night happy sigh
Robin Season
because yeah, there was a file from LJ that wasn't on any of the fic archives and I had to have it on my tablet, because it's one of my favorites
Robin Season
and I figured why have it as an rtf when I could turn it into an epub, too :-P
ναℓєяу
I think that's some kind of high level achievement lol
Robin Season
I'm just happy that I can take them with me for when I don't have internet
Robin Season
because I couldn't download from ffnet. I had to sneak and view source and then save as an html file FOR EACH CHAPTER OF A STORY, and then paste them all together again into one new doc
Robin Season
I did that for a hundred plus chapter story once >>
Robin Season
because I wanted it that badly
Robin Season
never underestimate the lengths I will go to for fic
ναℓєяу
Trinity Blood really soured me on fanfic alas
Robin Season
I'm a lot more picky now than I used to be
Robin Season
ohhhh. but you like Xfiles
Robin Season
ok, who is your fav, Mulder or Scully?
Robin Season
(because I know better than to assume from your name, lol)
Robin Season
because there is an amazing pre-xfiles story with Mulder as a profiler >>
Robin Season
nice and long and references to TS Eliot :-)
ναℓєяу
Awww man! Younger me would have said mulder ofc but older me loves Scully lol but I love them both :3
Robin Season
well, they did do one with Scully and Mulder, called Corpse, but I think the pre scully ones were better
Robin Season
Therapy and Mistress were good, but Oklahoma was the best
Robin Season
and theyre still floating around, lol
Robin Season
Robin Season
actually, some of the best xfiles fic is still at the annex
Robin Season
the old stuff, anyway
Robin Season
I haven't kept up
Robin Season
and since you're a Hannibal fan, I won't bother putting any warnings on Oklahoma or Corpse, lol
Robin Season
if you can handle that, you can handle them :-)
Robin Season
ναℓєяу
Hahaha thank you!!! :3
ναℓєяу
Sangunarium is about the only one that has really bothered me so far ;-)
Robin Season
well, Oklahoma was a child killer he was going after. and it's been a long time since I read Corpse, but I know that was finding a murderer too,. but I can't remember details
