Add Twisting the Hellmouth Stories to calibre
Start by downloading the complete Twisting the Hellmouth story as an EPUB with WP Downloader. You can then add it to calibre to organize it, change its metadata or cover, read it on your computer, convert it to another format, or copy it to an e-reader.
Download the story with WP Downloader
WP Downloader is a free web tool, and you do not need to install anything. It supports complete stories from Twisting the Hellmouth, also known as tthfanfic.org.
A story link looks like this:
https://www.tthfanfic.org/Story-1234To download the story:
- Open the Twisting the Hellmouth downloader.
- Paste the story link into the box.
- Choose EPUB as the output format.
- Choose whether to include the story’s images.
- Download the finished file to your device.
EPUB downloads are free for everyone. WP Downloader can also create a PDF, which requires a free Discord sign-in. EPUB is usually the more useful format to add to a calibre library.
For Twisting the Hellmouth, WP Downloader downloads whole stories rather than individual chapters or story lists. You can sign in with your tthfanfic.org account to download members-only stories that the account can already read. Your credentials are used only to fetch the story you requested. WP Downloader does not bypass access restrictions.
The Twisting the Hellmouth download guide covers this part of the process in more detail.
Add the EPUB to calibre
calibre is a free e-book manager for Windows, macOS, and Linux. After downloading the EPUB to your computer, open calibre and select Add books, then choose the file.
The story will appear in your calibre library. Follow the same steps for each Twisting the Hellmouth story you want to add.
If you downloaded the EPUB on your phone, first move it to the computer where calibre is installed. The transfer method depends on your phone and computer. The file to move is the EPUB created by WP Downloader.
Organize your Twisting the Hellmouth library
calibre lets you edit a story’s metadata and cover after importing it. This can help you keep a consistent fanfiction collection.
You can review:
- The story title
- The author’s name
- The cover
- Any other metadata you use to organize your library
Use a system that will still make sense as you add more stories. Consistent author names, for example, make an author’s work easier to find. It is also worth checking the title if you often copy books between calibre and an e-reader.
Read or listen in calibre
You can read the EPUB on your computer with calibre’s e-book viewer, so a separate e-reader is optional.
The viewer also includes a Read aloud feature. You can listen to the story in calibre while keeping the EPUB alongside your other e-books.
Convert the story to another format
WP Downloader creates EPUB files and, after a free Discord sign-in, PDF files. It does not create MOBI, AZW3, or TXT files.
If you need another e-book format, add the EPUB to calibre and use its conversion feature. calibre can convert the file to formats such as:
- AZW3
- MOBI
You may want to keep the original EPUB after converting it. You can continue reading it, edit its metadata, or use it for another conversion later.
Send the book to an e-reader
calibre can send books to an e-reader connected to your computer over USB. Connect the device and wait for calibre to recognize it. Then select the story and use the option to send it to the device.
The format to use depends on your e-reader and how you manage its books. Kindle users can follow the guide to send Twisting the Hellmouth stories to Kindle. For Kobo, see how to read Twisting the Hellmouth stories on Kobo.
Replace a story when new chapters appear
WP Downloader cannot add newly published chapters to an existing EPUB. When a Twisting the Hellmouth story changes, download the complete story again.
Add the new EPUB to calibre and manage it like any other book. Before keeping multiple copies, check which file contains the newer version.
