As a fellow KOReader user (on Kobo), I do it a different way: KOReader has a 'Calibre metadata search' feature you can use if you have a Calibre metadata.calibre file available. That works well for me because I put category(fandom) and genre in Calibre's Tags.

Whether you do or not have that available depends how you're getting your books onto the device.

(I just dump all my Calibre books(6700+) into one directory on the device. I used {id} to name them, but I'd use {uuid} if I did it again from scratch.)

Yes, but it's complicated and depending on the site (coughAO3cough), one story can have hundreds of fandoms.

That would be easier. I'd suggest doing it as a Calibre Custom column instead of doing it in FFF. That way if you manually change the value in your multi-fandom column for a story, the single fandom column will update appropriately.
