I order to keep track on what's on my cloud library, I need a way to keep all the pennames/authors for one story, even if it's different from one site to another.
Does that make more sense?

Since FanFicFare has no way to tell the difference between (same-story, different-site, different-author) and (different-story, different-site, different-author), I can't think of an automated solution.
Manual solutions that come to mind are:
- Add a custom column to populate with extra author names. Possible a long text column that you can use to also link to the author/story on the other site.
- Set Authors to 'New Only' in the Standard Columns tab of FanFicFare config (so updates don't change it) and manually manage the authors column.
- Set Comments to 'New Only' in the Standard Columns tab of FanFicFare config (so updates don't change it) and manually append links to the author/story on the other site to Comments.
- Configure each 'duplicate' story in replace_metadata to add the other authors.
- Configure each author with 'duplicate' stories in replace_metadata to change to a combined name. IE, author is 'DeltaV' on one site and 'ChangeofVelocity' on another; use replace_metadata to change one(or both) to ''DeltaV-ChangeofVelocity'.
