How to Back Up Star Trek Fan Fiction Stories
Authors and sites can edit, unpublish, or delete stories. To keep a personal copy of a Star Trek Fan Fiction story, download it as an EPUB with WP Downloader. You can store the file on your phone, computer, or e-reader.
Download a story with WP Downloader
WP Downloader is a free web tool with nothing to install. You do not need to sign in to download stories from Star Trek Fan Fiction.
- Open the Star Trek Fan Fiction downloader.
- Copy the address of the story you want to save. It should look similar to this:
https://trekfanfiction.net/writer/a-story-name/- Paste the story link into WP Downloader.
- Choose whether to include the story’s images.
- Download the story as an EPUB.
EPUB downloads are free for everyone. PDF is also available after you sign in with a free Discord account.
WP Downloader downloads the entire story from trekfanfiction.net. It cannot download a single chapter or a list of stories from this site. For more help, read the guide to downloading Star Trek Fan Fiction stories.
Support for Star Trek Fan Fiction and the other fiction archives available through WP Downloader was ported from FanFicFare, the open-source fanfiction downloader.
What your backup contains
A downloaded EPUB is a snapshot of the story at the time of the download. It will not change if the author edits a chapter, adds chapters, or updates the story later.
To get the newer version, paste the story link into WP Downloader and download it again. You can keep the old and new files as separate snapshots or replace the earlier copy.
Keep downloaded stories for your own reading. Do not re-upload or share them.
Keep more than one copy
Store the EPUB somewhere you can find it instead of leaving it in a crowded downloads folder. A folder for your Star Trek fanfiction can make individual stories easier to locate.
You can also keep a second personal copy on another device or storage location. For example, store one copy on your computer and another on the phone or e-reader you use for reading.
Choose filenames that make each story easy to recognize. If you later download an updated version, use a filename that distinguishes it from the older copy.
Read the EPUB on a phone or tablet
Find the EPUB in your device’s downloads or files area and open it with an app that supports EPUB files. You may also be able to import it into your usual reading library.
Keep the original EPUB after importing it so you still have a separate copy of the file. You can read the downloaded copy without returning to trekfanfiction.net.
Organize backups with calibre
calibre is a free e-book manager for Windows, macOS, and Linux. It can help you manage a larger personal library.
In calibre, select Add books and choose the EPUB you downloaded. You can then:
- Edit the book’s metadata and cover
- Read it in calibre’s e-book viewer
- Use the viewer’s Read aloud feature
- Send it to a connected e-reader over USB
- Convert it to AZW3, MOBI, PDF, or another format
WP Downloader does not create MOBI, AZW3, or TXT files. If your device needs AZW3 or MOBI, download the EPUB and convert your personal copy with calibre.
Move the story to an e-reader
To read the story on a Kindle, download the EPUB and follow the Star Trek Fan Fiction Kindle guide.
For Kobo, use the guide to reading Star Trek Fan Fiction stories on Kobo.
You can also add the EPUB to calibre and send it to an e-reader connected to your computer over USB. Keep a separate copy of the original EPUB as your backup.
