How to Track SciFiStories Reading on Goodreads or The StoryGraph

To track a SciFiStories story on Goodreads or The StoryGraph, first download it as an EPUB and search for a matching entry. Goodreads may let you add a missing story yourself. The StoryGraph has no clear official process for adding works that are not books, so check its current help pages if a story is missing.

Download the SciFiStories story

WP Downloader is a free web tool with nothing to install. Sign in to your account on scifistories.com before downloading. WP Downloader can only retrieve stories that your account can read.

1. Open the SciFiStories downloader.
2. Copy the story’s SciFiStories URL.
3. Paste the link into WP Downloader.
4. Choose EPUB, which is free for everyone.
5. Choose whether to include the story’s images.
6. Download the file.

A SciFiStories story URL looks like this:

https://scifistories.com/s/1234/story-title

You can also paste the link into the box on the WP Downloader home page. The tool will recognize it as a SciFiStories link.

For SciFiStories, WP Downloader downloads the whole story rather than individual chapters or lists. If the author adds chapters later, download the story again. WP Downloader cannot update an EPUB you already have.

Search Goodreads first

Most fanfiction and web serials are not in the Goodreads database, though another reader may already have added the story.

Search for the title and author shown on SciFiStories. If you find a result, check that it is the same work and not another story with a similar title. You can then use that Goodreads entry to track your reading.

The Goodreads record and your downloaded EPUB remain separate.

Add a missing story to Goodreads

If the story is missing, Goodreads allows eligible accounts to add a book at goodreads.com/book/new. The account must have a verified email and cannot be brand new.

You need to provide at least:

• The story title
• The author’s name

Enter the title and author as they appear on SciFiStories, and do not guess at missing publication details. Goodreads librarians handle edits and merge duplicate records.

After the story has a Goodreads record, you can use it to track your reading. If a similar listing might be a duplicate, leave any corrections or merging to the Goodreads librarians instead of creating another record.

Search The StoryGraph

Search The StoryGraph for the story’s title and author. Its database may already contain a matching entry.

If the story is missing, check The StoryGraph’s current help pages. The service does not publish clear official instructions for adding works that are not books, so there is no reliable step-by-step process for adding a SciFiStories web story.

You can keep the EPUB in your own library even if you cannot record the story on The StoryGraph.

Keep your own reading list in calibre

Calibre is another option when Goodreads or The StoryGraph does not list a story. This free e-book manager runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux and can organize downloaded stories without using a public book database.

To add a story:

1. Open calibre on your computer.
2. Select Add books.
3. Choose the EPUB downloaded from WP Downloader.
4. Edit its title, author, metadata, or cover if needed.
5. Read it in calibre’s e-book viewer or send it to a connected e-reader over USB.

Calibre’s e-book viewer has a Read aloud feature. The app can also convert EPUB files to formats such as AZW3, MOBI, or PDF. WP Downloader itself does not produce MOBI, AZW3, or TXT files.

For help with a particular device, read the guides to sending SciFiStories stories to Kindle or reading SciFiStories stories on Kobo.

Track stories with new chapters

Keep the reading record separate from the downloaded file when following an ongoing story:

1. Track the story with Goodreads, The StoryGraph, or calibre.
2. Download it again when you want an EPUB containing the newer chapters.
3. Replace the older file or keep both versions in your library.

Your tracking entry can stay the same while you download a new copy whenever the story changes.

FAQ

Can WP Downloader add a SciFiStories story to Goodreads?

No. WP Downloader downloads a story that you can already access as an EPUB, or as a PDF after a free Discord sign-in. You must search for or add its Goodreads record separately.

Why can I not download a SciFiStories story without signing in?

SciFiStories requires an account for downloads through WP Downloader. The tool only retrieves content that your account can already read.

Can I track an individual SciFiStories chapter?

WP Downloader downloads whole SciFiStories stories, not individual chapters. Use a Goodreads, StoryGraph, or calibre entry for the complete story.

What if The StoryGraph does not list the story?

Check The StoryGraph’s current help pages. Because it has no clear official instructions for adding works that are not books, calibre may be easier for keeping your own reading list.

Can WP Downloader update my EPUB when new chapters appear?

No. Download the story again to get a new EPUB containing the chapters currently available to your account.
