Add The Chosen Two Archive stories to calibre
To add a story from The Chosen Two Archive to calibre, download it as an EPUB with WP Downloader and import the file into your calibre library. Both tools are free, and you do not need an account for The Chosen Two Archive.
Download the story with WP Downloader
Open the story on chosentwofanfic.com. Its address should look similar to this:
https://chosentwofanfic.com/viewstory.php?sid=1234Copy the full address from your browser. It needs to be the story page, not a search page or another part of the archive.
Open The Chosen Two Archive downloader, then paste the address into the box. WP Downloader detects the site and downloads the whole story. It cannot download a single chapter or a list from this archive.
Choose EPUB to get a file you can add directly to calibre. EPUB downloads are free for everyone, and you can include the story’s images. PDF downloads require a free Discord sign-in. EPUB is generally more useful for a calibre library because calibre can read it and convert it to other e-book formats.
WP Downloader does not produce MOBI, AZW3, or TXT files. To get an AZW3 or MOBI copy, download the EPUB and convert it with calibre.
Support for The Chosen Two Archive was ported from FanFicFare, the open-source fanfiction downloader licensed under Apache-2.0. For more help with the download, read how to download The Chosen Two Archive stories.
Add the EPUB to your calibre library
calibre is a free e-book manager for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Once calibre is installed and open:
- Select “Add books.”
- Find the EPUB you downloaded with WP Downloader.
- Select the file and add it to your library.
- Wait for the story to appear in the book list.
You can now organize the story, open it in calibre’s e-book viewer, convert it, or send it to a connected e-reader.
WP Downloader handles each story separately, so repeat these steps for every story you want to keep.
Organize story details and covers
calibre lets you edit a story’s metadata and cover. Metadata includes details such as the title and author that calibre uses to identify and organize the book.
Select the story in your library and open the metadata editor. Review its details, make any changes you want, and replace the cover if needed.
Consistent details can make a large library easier to manage. For example, using the same spelling for an author’s name helps you keep that author’s stories together.
Read or listen in calibre
Select the story and open it in calibre’s e-book viewer to read it on your computer. The viewer also has a “Read aloud” feature that can read the story while you follow along or listen.
The EPUB stays on your computer, so you can read it offline without reopening the archive page.
Convert the story to another format
calibre can convert an imported EPUB to AZW3, MOBI, or PDF. Select the story, open the conversion option, and choose the format you need.
Keeping the original EPUB gives you a source file that you can convert again later. WP Downloader itself does not produce AZW3 or MOBI files, so those conversions take place in calibre after you import the EPUB.
Transfer the story to an e-reader
Connect your e-reader to the computer with a USB cable, then use calibre to send the book to it. You can convert the EPUB in calibre first if the device needs a different format.

Update a story when new chapters appear
WP Downloader cannot add new chapters to an EPUB you already downloaded. When a story is updated on The Chosen Two Archive, open its story page and download the whole story again.
Add the new EPUB to calibre, then check its book details so you can tell it apart from the older copy while deciding how to manage the two versions.
