Support for Fanfictions.fr and the other fiction archives in WP Downloader was ported from FanFicFare, the open-source fanfiction downloader.

Download again when the story changes

An EPUB or PDF contains the story as it appeared at the time of download. It does not change when the author edits a chapter or publishes a new one.

WP Downloader cannot add new chapters to an existing EPUB. Paste the story link into WP Downloader again to get the latest version. You can keep both versions or replace the older file.

Store your personal copies

Keep the downloaded file somewhere you can find it again, such as a folder for Fanfictions.fr stories. You can also copy it to another device. If you import the book into a reading app or convert it to another format, you may want to keep the original download as well.

Downloaded stories are for your own reading. Do not re-upload or share them.
