How to Save Backup Copies of PMD Fan Fiction Stories
Downloading a PMD Fan Fiction story as an EPUB gives you a personal snapshot of it. This can be useful because authors or sites may later edit, unpublish or delete stories.
WP Downloader is a free web tool, so you do not need to install anything. Once you have downloaded the story, you can store the file somewhere you control.
Download a story with WP Downloader
Open the PMD Fan Fiction downloader. You can also paste the story link into the box on the WP Downloader home page, which will detect that the link comes from PMD Fan Fiction.
A story link looks like this:
https://www.pmdfanfiction.com/story/story-title-hereTo save the story:
- Copy its PMD Fan Fiction link.
- Paste the link into WP Downloader.
- Choose whether to include the story’s images.
- Download the EPUB or PDF.
EPUB downloads are free for everyone. PDF downloads require a free Discord sign-in. You do not need to sign in to PMD Fan Fiction.
For this site, WP Downloader saves the whole story. It cannot download a single chapter or a list of stories. See how to download PMD Fan Fiction stories for a more detailed walkthrough.
Support for PMD Fan Fiction and the other archive sites was ported from FanFicFare, the open-source fanfiction downloader licensed under Apache-2.0.
Store the downloaded file
After the download finishes, move the EPUB or PDF somewhere you will remember. Keeping it outside a downloads folder that you regularly clear will make it less likely to be deleted by accident.
You could keep all your PMD Fan Fiction files in one folder or organize them by author or story. Use whichever system makes the files easy for you to find.
EPUB works well as a backup format because e-book apps and management software can open it. Choose PDF instead if that is the format you prefer.
WP Downloader does not create MOBI, AZW3 or TXT files. You can use calibre to convert an EPUB if you need another e-book format.
Organize your backups with calibre
Calibre is a free e-book manager for Windows, macOS and Linux. You can use it to keep your downloaded stories in one library.
To add a story:
- Open calibre.
- Select Add books.
- Choose the EPUB you downloaded from WP Downloader.
- Review the title, author information and cover.
- Edit the metadata or cover if needed.
Calibre’s e-book viewer can open the EPUB and includes a Read aloud feature. You can also convert the book to AZW3, MOBI or PDF.
If you connect an e-reader to your computer by USB, calibre can send books to it. See the guides for sending PMD Fan Fiction stories to Kindle or reading PMD Fan Fiction stories on Kobo for device-specific instructions.
Download again when a story changes
An EPUB or PDF contains the story as it was when you downloaded it. It does not change when the author edits a chapter or adds a new one.
WP Downloader cannot add new chapters to an existing EPUB. Paste the story link into WP Downloader again and download the whole story to get the latest version.
You may want to keep the older file until you have checked the new download. If you save several versions, use filenames or folders that make their order clear.
Keep your copies private
Keep downloaded stories for your own reading. Do not re-upload the files or share them with other people.
If the original story is still available, direct other readers to it instead of distributing your copy.
