How to Read The Hookup Zone Stories in Apple Books
To read a Criminal Minds Fic Archive story in Apple Books, download it as an EPUB with WP Downloader and add the file to Books on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac. EPUB downloads are free, and WP Downloader runs in your browser with nothing to install.
Download the story with WP Downloader
Find the story you want on the Criminal Minds Fic Archive, also known as The Hookup Zone. The archive uses thehookupzone.net and criminal-minds-fiction.com. Its story links may look like this:
http://thehookupzone.net/CriminalMinds/viewstory.php?sid=1234Copy the full story URL and open The Hookup Zone Downloader. Paste the link into the box. WP Downloader will detect the archive.
Select EPUB as the output format. EPUB is free for everyone and opens in Apple Books. You can also choose whether to include the story’s images.
WP Downloader downloads the whole story from this archive, not individual chapters or story lists. If the author adds more chapters, download the story again to create a new EPUB with the chapters then available.
You do not need to sign in for public stories. For a members-only story, you can sign in with your account on The Hookup Zone. WP Downloader can only fetch content that your account is already allowed to read. It uses your credentials only to fetch the story you requested and does not bypass locked content, paywalls, or age restrictions.
Support for this archive was ported from FanFicFare, the open-source fanfiction downloader.
