(The mechanism that FanFicFare uses to get series story URLs is the same for all sites, which is why it doesn't read the series description for itself--it's different on each site.)

Downloading each story in a series separately and then merging with EpubMerge is nearly identical to making the anthology in FanFicFare. Along with Unmerge, it just adds a couple steps to updates, too, if you really prefer the comments that way.
Thanks for the reply. Your explanation makes perfect sense and I have been adding in the series info manually to new anthologies but I thought I'd ask because hey automation. I only even noticed as I was going through fics I binge downloaded a few years ago and combining them if they are in series. (Instead of re-downloading them.)

Thanks again for the great plugin!
