Disappointing, but fair enough; and the is_adult cookie feature for Fimfiction works, so thanks.
Further suggestions/requests:
Adding tags for Fimfiction stories' content ratings (Everyone/Teen/Mature); ideally including the option to update the tags for stories already downloaded. Is there a particular reason that that isn't currently done?
Support for
www.fimfetch.net, a site that archives Fimfiction stories (albeit without character tags). (Maybe an option to automatically try there if a Fimfiction link doesn't work? That might be overboard, though.)
Support for Fimfiction series metadata. I've been adding it manually so far. This might be tricky, since Fimfiction just has individual stories linked to each other rather than formally named and numbered series; but it might be possible to develop a set of rules for naming and numbering series. Maybe when you download a story with series metadata, the plugin could automatically check your library for other stories in the series and update them accordingly, so prequels and interquels correctly bump prior stories to later numbers? Could still lead to messy situations;
No Rest For The Traitor is listed a sequel to Horn And Wings, but Horn And Wings is
password-protected, so you can't see what stories it might or might not be linked to. Would you want No Rest listed as part 2 of the series "Horn And Wings" (even though it's apparently actually
fifth in a series starting with "Imbalanced")? I'm not sure.
Option to enter multiple URLs at once into "Get Story URLs from Web Page".
As for other sites to support: this is getting into feature creep territory; but at the same time, there are a
lot of places on the Internet where you can find a wall of links to interesting content and wish you could easily bulk-save them to an organized collection to read at your leisure. Maybe a general website-saving feature that saves pages in HTMLZ format, reading title/author/date metadata where available but not bothering with any Readability-style cleanup of comments and sidebars and other junk? Or is there already a plugin that does that?
Specific sites that it'd be nice to be able to bulk-save from:
* Project Gutenberg.
* Project Gutenberg Australia.
* Wikisource.
* MIT Technology Review (
example).
*
Infinity Plus.
* Reddit (text posts).
* Less Wrong (including tags).
* Voat (text posts).
* Pastebin.
*
halo.bungie.org.
* scp-wiki.net (though on the other hand, there's already someone producing regularly updated
compilation ebooks).
* bdsmlibrary.com and its various mirrors.
* aryion.com (
example collection).
* Google Docs/Drive (examples:
The Sun is Tired, Peppy Greyskull's
stories).
* Deviantart (
example).
*
Pony Fiction Vault (pull ebook links from blog posts?).
*
Equestria Daily (download the story or stories that the blog post links to, but with the tags that EqD has assigned to it?).
*
Equestria After Dark (same suggestion).
*
creepypasta.org.
*
creepypasta.com.
* Fluffybooru. My hopes aren't high for this one, since it's a pretty obscure and disreputable site.
Example of a text post;
formatting guide. Ideally, tags would be saved, "author:" tags would be converted into author metadata, and possibly the uploader name would be used as the author if one wasn't otherwise listed (since tagging wasn't very consistently enforced there last I checked).
* Speaking of disreputable:
Gurochan. "Stories" are posted in threads mixed with discussion; but you could download all the posts in a thread posted with the same username and email as the OP.
* Archive.org backups of all of the above; including the old [orz.]gurochan.org.
