There's a story that I would like to convert to epub that is posted to tumblr http://docfuture.tumblr.com/post/111...-call-contents which I understand fanficfare can't support as there is no standard tumblr format for books.

I could easily write a script to scrape this book and put each chapter in a file. I could probably go on to work the book into a reasonable html book format and figure out the settings for Calibre to convert that to a reasonable epub, but would it be possible for fanficfare to have an adapter for some specified format on local disk to facilitate converting books like this that are not on a site that fanficfare directly supports but have a regular enough format that it can be scraped in a more manual process?

Or is there already an adapter for locally stored books in some defined format?
