Lemon – Keep track of your favorite FanFiction.Net stories with Lemon and your Kindle

Yeah, but why would you do that? I mean what you currently do manually, Lemon does automatically -- including forwarding the story to your Kindle. If you really wanted to you could simply connect your Kindle to the PC and start up Calibre and change the covers of the files on your Kindle; although this seems a bit useless, especially for fanfiction stories.

I submitted another two ideas to the issues, this time about organizing the cache and emailing partial stories.

I need your email to be able to send you an AO3 invite, though you can also get one by giving them your email and waiting about 2 weeks. That's what I did.

From what I've read in other threads for a cover change to be perm. you have to do a mobi to mobi conversion otherwise it doesn't take. Or that's what I understood from what I read anyway. And the covers in Mobipocket Creator don't show the title of the Fan Fiction whereas the custom cover I made for my Fan Fics has the story/novel's title in clear letters. And I didn't want all the fics to be auto loaded to my Kindle at once either. And I like the simple, hands on approach.

Hey there pookakitten, just letting you know that your latest created issue has been resolved and that you are now able to directly review a chapter after having read it.

It's me again. I think I made a request and bitbucket lost it. In stories.ini, I'd like to see the story title. This will let me see which link corresponds to a story. Here's an example:

[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7267493/1/]
chapter = 43
status = In-Progress
title = Promises

Hey there, you can add these fields yourself for now, they shouldn't get deleted/modified when you run Lemon after that. My reason for not adding them was that the ConfigParser module had some issues with UTF-8 and that by adding the title field I would also be exposed to the choice of adding more besides that, e.g. the summary, the author etc.

If you want an alternative to Lemon check out FanFictionDownLoader, I just made a post there with some suggestions and hope to be able to eventually deprecate Lemon in favor for it.

Hello! I recently inherited a Kindle 3 and I'm an avid fanfiction reader. I don't know much about the script you made or how to install it and such so can you please give me a step by step procedure? Thank you very much!

Read the post above yours. I use FanFictionDownloader plugin for calibre and do all my updating automatically. It has so many sites available, so not just ff.net. You can use custom columns to keep track of complete/in progress, or many other things.

The plugin integrates with Read Later(?), so when I plug in my kindle, it automatically puts updated or new stories onto my reader.

When I run lemon it can't find any of the stories now, I wanted to grab updated chapters and can't

Hey there girlinstatic, simply follow pookakitten's advice and use the FanFictionDownLoader plugin for Calibre.
