wtf is #ao3 doing with cache control headers & blocking polite download scripts?

The site UI is garbage, obviously people will use #fanficfare to read in something better.
Is anyone aware of a partial fork of #FanFicFare that follows upstreams but which rebases branches with adapters disregarding the copyright nonsense preventing the implementation of some extractors upstream?

Oh dear, looks like AO3's recent server issues mean that they've blocked things that act like a bot (or that IS a bot), so #FanFicFare is having trouble downloading fics to my #Calibre library. Every other one I try throws a 525 error. :(

I checked on the plugin's Mobileread thread and it looks like it'll be an ongoing issue until #AO3 upgrades their stuff in April (see thread here: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showpost.php?p=4492361&postcount=10390)

Day 10 - #DecRecs

Today I'm reccing FanFicFare, a Calibre plugin to download fanfiction! It can download fics from over 100 sites and update them as new chapters release, make covers, and includes all the metadata and tags in the file so it can all be neatly organized.

I love this plugin so much and it makes keeping track of downloaded fics so easy 🥹

#FanFicFare
#Calibre es un programa que gestiona una biblioteca personal de libros electrónicos.

Un fanfic es una historia creada por fans que toma personajes o ambientaciones previas para crear sus propias historias. Algunas personas que dirían que toda la literatura es fanfic (y yo soy una de esas personas).

FanFicFare es un plugin (un programa que se añade a Calibre) diseñado para descargar y convertir a libro electrónico fanfics e historias originales de múltiples páginas.

Do any #FanFicFare users have a working method for downloading #fanfiction from #fanfiction.net at present? #FlareSolverr doesn't seem to be working right now. The story I want is over 500 chapters long, so loading each URL and having FFF pull the pages from my browser's cache could take a while, but exists as a last resort.
putting my programming skills to good use by trawling the #ao3 adaptor of #fanficfare because i don't understand the documentation and want to know if i can download whether or not i've kudosed a specific work (i don't think i can)

I just discovered another point of fandom static website supremacy: if/when you craft your fic masterpost webpage and/or your reclists, they are easily scrapable with #Calibre #FanficFare for bulk downloading.

All my fellow #fan #fandom #archivists and #datahoarders cheers! 🥂🥂🥂

I have a collection of #fanfic epubs handled by the #fanficfare client, but lately none of the things I have seem to be updating. Recommendations welcome on anything other than anime stuff.
