Okay, the consolidation of Captain America worked like a dream, and I was able to duplicate it for several other fandoms! Yay! But now I've been picking at the code again for so long that my dog is practically asking to go to bed, so I thought I'd put my question out into the world before signing off for the night. I'm sure it's a matter of a backslash or a quotation mark, but oh well.

I'm pulling from two older archive sites, one of which is thechosentwo, and i imagine this will be the same with different names). The use the "category" tag for more than fandom, and chosen two's information doesn't even populate my ship column. however, I can't figure out how to just overwrite all their metadata in those categories and replace it.

I've tried variations, but basically what I've used so far is replace_metadata and include_metadata_pre like so:

Code:

[chosentwofanfic.com]
username:XXXXXXXX
password:XXXXXXXX
is_adult:true
include_metadata_pre:
 category==Buffy the Vampire Slayer
replace_metadata:
 category=>Buffy the Vampire Slayer
 ships=>Faith Lehame/Buffy Summers

I assume if this worked I'd probably be using one or the other, but like I said no variation I tried worked.
