No wonder it wasn't working for me. Only I would do something so silly.

You can find a Calibre recipe for FanFiction.Net here. Read the notes for recipe-specific instructions/tips. Refer to the Calibre online manual for instructions on how to add custom recipes. One caveat, though, is the recipe downloads a whole bunch of fanfics at the same time and saves them as one "omnibus"/collection file. Unfortunately, the current version of Calibre makes it difficult to get it to download files one at a time.

I finally got it up and running on Calibre. It was actually pretty simple once I had the actual recipe. I must admit as fantastic as it is to get a huge file of goodies -- It's a HUGE file. A bit too much, even weened down to the most basic of my preferences in the RSS. I also don't like that you can't separate the fics to keep what you like and toss the others.
I have to admit that I much prefer the html/PHP version of Flag. It's much cleaner and more manageable. Thanks for giving the utterlyinsane link for individual HTML download when the other down. It's greatly appreciated.
I really do love this program and it's possibilities. I definitely need to figure out how to set this puppy up.

I know I promised a guide and clean/updated scripts and I'm really sorry I still haven't gotten to it. I just got hooked on watching Heroes and I'm currently distracted by reading Sylar/Elle fanfiction (yes, I'm twisted). I'm running out of fics to read so maybe I'll finally be able to get to working on the scripts this weekend.

I hope you enjoyed the time with your friend. Please don't apologize. You're doing a tremendous favor by doing it so definitely write it at your own pace. I have to figure out how to set up a server on my computer before I do anything. LOL - After I figure out what exactly one is and how to do it.
Is there any specific type of server? I'd only be using it for this specific task so if there's a basic type to set up, just give me the heads up and I'll start googling.
Have a fun night!!
