Just discovered FLAG today and it's been pretty awesome so far (at least the online version is). Thank you very much for sharing this with us.

I used to do something similar semi-manually back in 2001~02 (I've got a working mirror of my favorite authors and fanfics on my hard drive) but the new system made it hard for me to use my semi-automated workflow. I was looking for an easier way to archive fanfics to my PC and read them on my iPhone (hooray for Stanza; Safari crashes way too often) and I'm happy to have found this.

Now, I'm going to have to find some way to install Apache/PHP on my PC as having command-line access to this program for batch processing will be absolutely invaluable.

Thanks again for this wonderful program!
