I have a fanfic I'd like to download.

Problem: it was deleted from FanFiction.net.

However, all of the chapters are available on the Wayback Machine.

Are there any options here, such as jury-rigging the ffnet adapter to accept a wayback'd copy? Problems I can see with that approach:

- The Wayback Machine header. This can be stripped by appending id_ to the timestamp (see here).
- The timestamp section of the URL varies.
- It was captured about a decade ago, though I'm not sure how much ffnet (and the adapter's) changed since then.

Non-FFF solutions I'm open to, though hopefully something better than "saving and compiling the ebook manually."

EDIT: Actually -- is there an option to have FFF generate an epub structure for 15 chapters, but leave the content blank? That would make 'saving and compiling the ebook manually' a bit easier.
