The code is here. In theory it's possible to use getMetadataRaw() to get the underlying datetime object instead.

But it is more complex than just that:
  • FFF's internals at that point have the post-processed versions of all metadata.
  • FFF's internals also allow for anthology books, which would need to be addressed.
  • There are some site-specific datetime metadata entries.
  • I don't know if Calibre would accept a datetime object for set_custom(). Presumably ISO 8601 format would work.
  • Users may deliberately manipulate the datetimes in replace_metadata. For example, to only save month/year and discard day of month and time. Or 'hard coding' a date for a story that has the 'wrong' date.
I could add new code to create copies of all datetime metadata entries that only used ISO 8601 format.

But that adds user-facing complexity either in the form of "Why are there two different metadata entries for each date?" or, if it's hidden, "Why don't my changes to dates show up in custom columns?"

I suspect how Calibre interprets the date as string will change depending on your locale setting. I don't know if that's Calibre code or something Calibre calls. Do you use date formatting that disagrees with your locale setting?

Because honestly, if this is only a problem when you mismatch with your own locale setting, I'm inclined to ignore it.

If not FanFicFare, would you be able to advise me on anything related that I can script or use? Absolutely no problem if you can't.
I'm not interested in supporting site , if:
  • The site hosts original content that you pay for, or the author is paid for;
  • The site hosts copyrighted content(legitimately or not) that is sold elsewhere;
  • You're not signing on also do the continuing dev work to keep the site working over time.
Your repeated mentioning of 'only unlocked chapters' suggests to me that there's paid content involved...

The browser plugin WebToEpub says it supports the site.
