As for my previous post, I still find it kind of strange that when you ask it to look for a saved column, it still goes to check on the site. Perhaps this is some kind of fallback but, I'd rather be warned ahead to avoid unnecessary traffic to the sites or switch it off completely.

That said, I tried testing with a few different stories that actually have saved metadata, but I keep getting the following error:

Spoiler:

ERROR: Error Updating Metadata: <p>An error has occurred while FanFicFare was updating calibre's metadata for <a href='https://archiveofourown.org/works/27936862'>Impermanence</a>.</p>The ebook has been updated, but the metadata has not.

Kinda OT sorry, but does anyone know if there is a way to update manually edited metadata into the Title Page, without actually editing the book by hand. I've been looking around, but so far without a result. If someone has any idea, or even to give me a clue what or where to look I'd be happy to receive your feedback. I've tried Calibre's Embed Metadata, and the the plugin Modify Epub with option Metadata, but I'm not sure what they do, but not what I want them to do ;-).
