Fimfic2Extra is a work in progress command line program that bulk downloads Fimfiction.net stories as nicely formatted Epub files, courtesy of Fimfic2Epub. It can also scrape public Fimfiction bookshelves and user pages and return a list of all the stories they link to as a text film, largely thanks to Curl.

I'm not making Fimfic2Extra publicly available yet, because I want to get approval from site staff before releasing something that seems like it could easily be used to attack their servers. I imagine downloading individual stories doesn't have that much of an impact, and I've built limits into the program to attempt to limit overuse, but I still want to be careful with it.

As of , Fimfic2Epub's command line version seems to be entirely non-functional, and so Fimfic2Extra no longer works. I've opened an issue on it's Github page, but that was over a month ago and there's been no response. I would try to fix it myself but I do not know any Javascript whatsoever. So yeah, until it works again, I guess Fimfic2Extra is cancelled.

Until then, last I checked Fimfic2Epub still works just fine as a browser extension for Firefox. (It's also available for Chrome, but I don't use Chrome or any browsers based on it, and as such cannot attest to how well it functions.) It's a bit more time-consuming to download multiple stories, but I still definitely recommend it.
