EPUB is free for everyone. Creating a PDF requires a free Discord sign-in. WP Downloader does not create MOBI, AZW3, or TXT files.

You do not need a sheppardweir.com account for public stories. Signing in is optional and allows WP Downloader to fetch members-only stories that your account can already read. It uses your credentials only to fetch the story you requested and does not bypass account restrictions, paywalls, locked chapters, or age restrictions.
Support for Command Dynamics and the other fiction archives on the supported sites page was ported from FanFicFare, the open-source fanfiction downloader.
Read offline on a phone or tablet
EPUB is usually the easiest format to use on a phone or tablet. Open your device’s downloads list or file manager after saving the file, select it, and choose a reading app that accepts EPUB files.
If the app does not appear automatically, use the share or open-with menu to import the file. You can then open the story from the app’s library whenever you want to read it.
You can also download a PDF and open it in your usual PDF reader. Keep the file stored locally on the device so it remains available offline. Creating the PDF requires a free Discord sign-in.
Open the saved book once before going somewhere without a reliable connection. This lets you check that the file was imported and is available on the device.
Read offline on an e-reader
Download the story as an EPUB and transfer it using a method supported by your e-reader or its reading service. Once the transfer finishes, find the story in the device’s library.
Kindle and Kobo use their own transfer methods. Follow the guide for your device:
WP Downloader does not provide MOBI or AZW3 files. Begin with an EPUB or PDF and follow the appropriate device guide.
Check that the book opens on your e-reader before deleting the original download from your phone or computer. Keeping the file gives you another copy if you need to transfer it again.
Read offline on a computer
Save the EPUB or PDF somewhere easy to find, such as your downloads folder.
Use an EPUB reading program to open an EPUB, or your usual PDF reader to open a PDF. The story is stored as a file on your computer, so you can read it without reopening its page on sheppardweir.com.
If you read on several computers or devices, keep track of the newest copy. WP Downloader does not add new chapters to an EPUB you have already downloaded.
Download newly added chapters
When the author adds chapters, return to WP Downloader and paste the story URL again. Download another copy of the whole story, then import or transfer the new file to your reading device.
WP Downloader does not patch or update the EPUB you already have. If both copies appear in your library, identify the newer one before removing the older file.
