How to track stck.me stories on Goodreads or The StoryGraph
Most fanfiction and web serials are not listed on Goodreads, and a stck.me story may also be missing from The StoryGraph. You can download the story as an EPUB with WP Downloader, then look for it on your preferred tracking service. If it is not available there, calibre can serve as your personal reading list.
Download the stck.me story
WP Downloader is a free web tool with nothing to install. Copy the story’s stck.me URL, which usually looks like this:
https://author.stck.me/story/123/titleThen:
- Open the stck.me downloader.
- Paste the story URL into the box.
- Sign in with your stck.me account when prompted.
- Choose whether to include the story’s images.
- Download the story as an EPUB.
EPUB downloads are free for everyone. You can also download a PDF after signing in with Discord for free.
WP Downloader can fetch only the chapters your stck.me account can already read. It never buys a story, follows an author, or unlocks paid or follower-only chapters. Chapters that your account cannot access remain locked and appear in the downloaded book with a notice.
When the author publishes more chapters, download the story again to get a newer copy. WP Downloader cannot update an existing EPUB.

Track the story on Goodreads
Start by searching Goodreads for the title and author. Most fanfiction and web serials are not in its database, so the story may not appear.
If it is missing, eligible Goodreads members can add it at goodreads.com/book/new. Your account needs a verified email and cannot be brand new. The minimum information required is:
- The story title
- The author’s name
Use the title and author from the stck.me story page or the downloaded EPUB so the record is easy to identify.
Once the work has a Goodreads record, you can track it with the rest of your reading. Goodreads librarians handle corrections and merge duplicate records. If an existing entry needs an edit, do not create another one.
Check The StoryGraph
Search The StoryGraph for the story’s title and author. The work may already be in its database, although some stck.me stories will be missing.
The StoryGraph does not publish clear official instructions for adding works that are not books. Since a stck.me story may be a web serial, check The StoryGraph’s current help pages for its rules on missing works. If you cannot add the story, you can keep the EPUB in a personal calibre library instead.
Keep a reading list in calibre
calibre is a free e-book manager for Windows, macOS, and Linux. It gives you a place to organize stories that are missing from Goodreads or The StoryGraph.
To add a stck.me story:
- Open calibre on your computer.
- Select Add books.
- Choose the EPUB downloaded from WP Downloader.
- Edit the title, author, or cover if needed.
- Keep the book in your calibre library as part of your reading collection.
calibre can convert EPUB files to formats such as AZW3, MOBI, or PDF. WP Downloader does not produce AZW3, MOBI, or TXT files itself.
You can read the story in calibre’s e-book viewer, which includes a Read aloud feature. calibre can also send books to an e-reader connected by USB. For device-specific help, see send stck.me stories to Kindle or read stck.me stories on Kobo.
