How to read a FanficAuthors story in Google Play Books
To read a FanficAuthors story in Google Play Books, download it as an EPUB or PDF with WP Downloader and upload the file to your Play Books library. You can then read it on the web, Android, iPhone, or iPad.
Download the FanficAuthors story
WP Downloader is a free web tool and does not require installation. It supports stories on FanficAuthors subdomains such as jeconais.fanficauthors.net.
- Open the FanficAuthors downloader.
- Copy the story’s main URL from FanficAuthors. It should look similar to this:
https://jeconais.fanficauthors.net/A_Story_Name/- Paste the URL into the downloader box.
- Choose EPUB or PDF.
- Choose whether to include the story’s images.
- Download the file to your device.
Anyone can download an EPUB for free. Creating a PDF requires a free Discord sign-in.
For FanficAuthors, WP Downloader downloads the whole story. Single chapters and story lists are not supported, and you do not need to sign in to FanficAuthors.
FanficAuthors support was ported from FanFicFare, the open-source fanfiction downloader.
Which format should you choose?
Google Play Books accepts DRM-free EPUB and PDF files, so both formats work.
Choose EPUB for easy access
EPUB is free for everyone through WP Downloader and does not require a sign-in.
Choose PDF if you prefer it
PDF is available with a free Discord sign-in.
Turn on the image option before downloading if you want to keep the story’s images. Long stories with many images may produce large files, and very large files can reach Google’s upload size limit.
Upload the story from a computer
You can upload a DRM-free EPUB or PDF through the Google Play Books website.
- Download the FanficAuthors story with WP Downloader.
- Open the Google Play Books website on your computer.
- Choose the upload option for your library.
- Select the EPUB or PDF from your computer or Google Drive.
- Wait for Google Play Books to add the book.
- Open the story from your Play Books library.
Once uploaded, the story is available in your web browser and through the Google Play Books app on Android, iPhone, and iPad.
Upload the story on Android
Google Play Books also lets you upload an EPUB or PDF from its Android app.
Download the story to your Android device with the FanficAuthors downloader, then use the app’s upload option to add the file to your library. When the upload is complete, open the story from your library.
Read on iPhone or iPad
You can read uploaded books in the Google Play Books app on iPhone and iPad. Upload the EPUB or PDF through the Play Books website on a computer, or through the Android app if you use an Android device. Then open the Play Books app on your iPhone or iPad and select the story from your library.
Get newly published chapters
WP Downloader cannot update an EPUB or PDF you have already downloaded. When a FanficAuthors story gets new chapters, use the downloader to download the whole story again, then upload the new file to Google Play Books. You can keep or remove the older copy.
For help creating the file, see how to download FanficAuthors stories. There are also guides for sending FanficAuthors stories to Kindle and reading FanficAuthors stories on Kobo.
