If you just drag-and-drop then I think you'll have to make sure each epub's internal metadata is correct beforehand.
I was afraid of that. I have a love/hate relationship with calibre, and I strongly dislike some of its features, but do use it for conversions. I don't manage my files with it, as I have thousands upon thousands of old fics I've been collecting ever since I first discovered fandom some mumble years ago. It is jut too much wok at the moment and would involve some heavy duty editing.

But even if I did use it to manage my fics, I am currently away from my computer and will not be able to access it for quite some time. I wish it would just read the data from the title!

Does anyone know if I would be able to add this information using only my Asus TF101 and an internet connection, because that's all i have at my disposal right now? The ideal situation would be to find something that can edit my files in bulk versus having to open them and edit their metadata - I am not sure if something like that even exists for Android?
