How to Back Up Twisting the Hellmouth Stories

Authors and websites can edit, unpublish, or delete stories. WP Downloader lets you save a complete Twisting the Hellmouth story as an EPUB for personal offline reading. The downloaded file is a snapshot of the story at that time.

Download the story with WP Downloader

WP Downloader is a free web tool, with nothing to install. Open the Twisting the Hellmouth downloader, then paste the story URL into the box.

A Twisting the Hellmouth story link looks like this:

https://www.tthfanfic.org/Story-1234

WP Downloader detects the site and downloads the whole story. For Twisting the Hellmouth, it cannot download an individual chapter or a story list.

You can choose from these options:

• EPUB is free for everyone and works well as an e-book copy.
• PDF requires a free Discord sign-in.
• Select Include images if you want the story’s images in the downloaded file.

For step-by-step instructions, read how to download Twisting the Hellmouth stories.

Sign in for members-only stories

Public stories usually do not require an account. You can sign in with your Twisting the Hellmouth account when you want to download a members-only story that the account can already read.

WP Downloader uses your account credentials only to fetch the story you requested. It cannot bypass account requirements, locked content, or age restrictions.

Support for Twisting the Hellmouth and the other fiction archives available through WP Downloader was ported from FanFicFare, the open-source fanfiction downloader.

Keep the EPUB as a personal snapshot

An EPUB from WP Downloader records the story as it appeared when you downloaded it. Your copy will remain the same if the online version is later edited, unpublished, or deleted.

After downloading the file:

1. Rename it if a more recognizable filename would help.
2. Store the original EPUB somewhere you can find it again.
3. Add it to your usual reading app or e-book library.
4. Keep the copy for your own reading.

Do not re-upload or share downloaded stories.

WP Downloader cannot add new chapters to an existing EPUB. If the author adds chapters or revises the story, download it again to make a newer snapshot. You can also keep the earlier file if you want both versions.

Read the backup on a phone or tablet

Open the downloaded EPUB with an app that supports EPUB files. Because the file is stored on your device, you can read that saved copy offline even if the story page later changes.

If you chose PDF, open it in an app that supports PDF files. WP Downloader does not create MOBI, AZW3, or TXT files.

Organize your backups with calibre

Calibre is a free e-book manager for Windows, macOS, and Linux. It can help you organize a larger collection of downloaded stories.

To add a Twisting the Hellmouth story:

1. Open calibre.
2. Select Add books.
3. Choose the EPUB you downloaded.
4. Edit its metadata or cover if you wish.
5. Open it in calibre’s e-book viewer to read it.

The viewer also has a Read aloud feature for listening to the saved story.

Calibre can convert an EPUB to AZW3, MOBI, or PDF when your device needs a format that WP Downloader does not create. You can also use calibre to send books to a connected e-reader over USB.

Download another copy after an update

Each download is a separate snapshot and has no automatic connection to the live story. If the author adds chapters or makes revisions, paste the story link into WP Downloader again and download a new EPUB. Clear filenames can help you tell the older and newer copies apart.
