As well as how to use the plugin Fanfiction Downloader to download fic from archives into Calibre and then the use of the plugin Epubmerge to merge series ( Read more... )

Today was the last day of my summer school and I now have a two week break before the fall semester starts. It may take a few days for it to sink in that I have free time again and after taking 3 grad school level classes in two months I suspect next semester of only taking one class may seem easier. (hope I didn't jinx myself ( Read more... )

The following info may be of interest to those writers and artists who are posting - or want to post - their Supernatural Big Bang fic and art to A03. Posting fan fic and artwork to A03 is not a requirement for the Supernatural and J2 Big Bang Challenges and neither Amalthia or I are part of the Supernatural and J2 Big Bang nor the A03. We’re ( Read more... )

One of my on-going projects is to convert all the RTF files hosted at the Ebook Library into Epub and Mobipocket format.

RTF did not as I had originally hoped become the default format for e-ink devices and other portable readers. However, before I'd realized this sad fact I had already added hundreds of stories to the Ebook Library that are only ( Read more... )

and thank goodness! I was ready for this semester to be over a week ago if not sooner. But I still have 3 more assignments plus my leadership project to complete, and my boss had jury duty this week so my ability to get some school work done at work went to crap.

For those who are curious as to why I'm not adding new fics to the Ebook Library. It's because I'm currently going back and converting stories already hosted on the archive to epub/lrf/and mobi.

For anyone that would like either of these formats I'm posting the updates at the News pageI still plan on adding new fics to the archive it's just not ( Read more... )

This weekend I added another 12 stories mostly Supernatural Big Bang fics and I think two Star Trek stories.

I've also spent a lot of time creating a new skin for the site. It's titled ebookarchive2. I know not very original...I've tested it on Firefox and on 15 inch monitor as well as a 22 inch monitor it looks good there ( Read more... )

Saturday I was pretty much gone the entire day. Did the monthly meetup with the Houston Browncoats at this really good chinese resturant and ate lunch, then went to a birthday party for a slash writer (pros fandom mostly I think) along with other fannish friends and we went to a Magic Show resturant. The food was awesome, I loved the company, and ( Read more... )

The SGA Big Bang Challenge website is up and running.

And I know I shouldn't make any complaints but I think I got used to the way the spn_j2_bigbang intergrated the artwork into the story. Right now it looks like you have to download the artwork seperately. Maybe I'm wrong I haven't had the chance to go through the stories and strip all the code from the ( Read more... )
