Publisher's description

DownloadStory downloads and compiles all chapters of a fanfiction story off of any of the biggest fanfiction websites. Once downloaded, the entire story is available even when you are offline - great for installing on an iPhone to read on the go, or on your laptop on airplane trips.

DownloadStory currently supports the following websites:

• FanFiction.net
• FanFicAuthors.net (including stories that require logging in)
• Portkey.org
• Sugarquill.net
• Checkmated.com
• PhoenixSong.net
• FictionAlley.org
• Sink Into Your Eyes (siye.co.uk)
• Ficwad.com
• Kinsfire.net
• Sabrina Online (chrisfoxx.com)
• Zig Zag Studios (zzstudios.com)
• Wonderful World of Makebelieve (squidge.org/~peja/)
• crvboy.org

How it works:
Once you provide the web page address of the beginning of the story (the first chapter always works, and I try to support index pages as well), then the software will download each chapter in the background, saving the files into a temporary folder created on your desktop. While this is going on you can do anything else you want. Once the software has downloaded all of the chapters, it combines all of the them together into your preference of a html or text file. Finally it takes that compiled document and puts it in a folder called "New Stories" on your desktop. From there you are welcome to use it however you wish - I personally use Stanza (http://www.lexcycle.com/stanza) to read them on my iPod Touch (stories saved in html format work best for this).

Future upgrades:
Better conversion of special characters such as smart quotes
Support for additional fanfiction sites (requests?)
Support for stories that require logging in at Checkmated.com
Triggering off of an email (such as author alerts, etc.)
Put stories in a queue to download via clicking on a link to them
Other requests?

Known issues:
Stories from Portkey.org seem to take a long time to put the chapters together once downloaded, and occasionally fail.
Sabrina Online downloads infinite copies of chapter 53, requiring DownloadStory to be force-quit.
If you encounter other stories from a supported site which does not work, please contact me to get it fixed!
