How to track The Hookup Zone stories on Goodreads or The StoryGraph

To track Criminal Minds Fic Archive stories from The Hookup Zone on Goodreads or The StoryGraph, begin by saving the story as an EPUB. You can then record it with your preferred tracking service. If the story is not in either service’s database, calibre gives you a way to keep your own private library.

Download the story with WP Downloader

WP Downloader is a free web tool that requires no installation. For The Hookup Zone, it downloads complete stories, not individual chapters or reading lists.

1. Open The Hookup Zone Downloader.
2. Copy the story URL from the Criminal Minds Fic Archive.
3. Paste the URL into WP Downloader.
4. Choose EPUB for a free download. PDF is available with a free Discord sign-in.
5. Choose whether to include the story’s images.
6. Download the file to your phone or computer.

A story address may look like this:

http://thehookupzone.net/CriminalMinds/viewstory.php?sid=1234

You may also paste the link into the box on the WP Downloader home page. The tool detects the site automatically.

Signing in with your The Hookup Zone account is optional. It lets WP Downloader fetch members-only stories that your account can already read. Your credentials are used only to fetch the story you requested, and WP Downloader does not bypass access restrictions.

Support for this archive was ported from FanFicFare, the open-source fanfiction downloader licensed under Apache-2.0. The guide to downloading The Hookup Zone stories covers the process in more detail.

If the author adds new chapters, download the story again. WP Downloader cannot add new chapters to an existing EPUB.

Open the EPUB on your device

After the download finishes, find the EPUB in your browser’s downloads or files area. Open or import it through your reading app’s usual file picker if the app accepts EPUB files.

Keep the EPUB even if you plan to log the story elsewhere. Goodreads and The StoryGraph can record your reading, while the downloaded file remains available to open in a compatible reading app without returning to the archive.

If you use a dedicated e-reader, follow the transfer process for your device. See the guides for sending The Hookup Zone stories to Kindle and reading The Hookup Zone stories on Kobo.

Track the story on Goodreads

Most fanfiction and web serials are not in the Goodreads database. Search for the story before creating a record so that you do not add a duplicate.

If you find the correct entry, use it to track your reading. If the story is missing, eligible Goodreads users can add a book manually at goodreads.com/book/new. The account must have a verified email and cannot be brand new. You need at least:

• Title
• Author

Only enter information you can verify from the story. Goodreads librarians handle later edits and merge duplicate records.

The EPUB download and the Goodreads record are separate. WP Downloader creates a file for you to read. It does not submit the story to Goodreads or make changes to your Goodreads account.

Check The StoryGraph

Search The StoryGraph for the story and author. Its database may not include fanfiction from The Hookup Zone.

The StoryGraph does not publish clear official instructions for adding works that are not books, so there is no reliable set of steps for adding an archived fanfiction story yourself. Check its current help pages to see what options are available.

If you cannot track the story there, you can keep the EPUB and maintain your own reading record in calibre.

Keep a private library with calibre

calibre is a free e-book manager for Windows, macOS, and Linux. You can use it to organize stories that are missing from Goodreads or The StoryGraph.

To add a downloaded story:

1. Open calibre on your computer.
2. Select Add books.
3. Choose the EPUB you downloaded from WP Downloader.
4. Edit its metadata or cover if needed.
5. Keep it in your calibre library for future reference.

You can read the story in calibre’s e-book viewer, which includes a Read aloud feature. calibre can also send books over USB to a connected e-reader.

WP Downloader does not create MOBI, AZW3, or TXT files. If you need another format, calibre can convert the EPUB to formats such as AZW3, MOBI, or PDF.
