I did use a regex search & replace to populate my #fanficratings column from the longtext rather than run a 'update from column' on everything, though. 
search: (?s).*(<p><span class='label'>Rating<\/span>: <div class='metadata' id='rating'>(.*?)<\/div><p>).*
replace with: \2 |
Interesting method. So you just put all the metadata pulled by FanFicFare into one long text custom column? Is the search & replace afterwards automated?
I wonder if that's faster than filling each custom column via FanFicFare.
