I try to be more precise about calling them 'files' if I think it might make a difference, but I think of fanfic stories as "Books" because I treat them the same way in Calibre as I do my regular books. They all get titles, series authors and such, and can very in length from a 1 page drabble or pwp, or they could be full book sized in page count.

And with the programs that will take stories from places like fanfic.net and pull the story off into one HTML file. (So I don't have to cut and paste lots of chapters together.) They can add up quickly. The fandom I'm reading now can post anywhere from none to about 30 new stories a day, various sizes. And I read on average about 20 a night, depending on size and when I fall asleep.

I've been collecting various fanfic for years. I've probably got 16,000 easily. Just found a new fandom a couple of months ago, and have 1,476 last count in just a couple of months. A good chunk I've read already.

And I've pulled in a ton of free books from book stores.

So 'books' can be a very loose term. Especially since they're all basically treated the same in Calibre.
