How to Read a FicWad Story in Apple Books
To read a FicWad story in Apple Books, download it as an EPUB with WP Downloader and open the file in Books on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac. WP Downloader is a free web tool, so you do not need to install anything.
Download the FicWad story
Copy the URL of the FicWad story you want to read. A story link looks like this:
https://ficwad.com/story/1234Then:
- Open the FicWad downloader.
- Paste the story link into the box.
- Choose EPUB as the output format.
- Choose whether to include the story’s images.
- Download the completed file to your device.
EPUB downloads are free for everyone, and Apple Books can open them. WP Downloader also creates PDF files, but downloading a PDF requires a free Discord sign-in. Apple Books supports both formats.
WP Downloader downloads the entire FicWad story. It does not download individual chapters or lists from this site. If the author adds chapters later, paste the story link into WP Downloader again and download a new EPUB. The tool cannot add new chapters to an EPUB you already have.

The imported story will appear in your Apple Books Library. You can also import a PDF this way.
Download members-only FicWad stories
You do not need to sign in for public FicWad stories. If you sign in with your FicWad account, WP Downloader can also fetch members-only stories that your account is allowed to read.
WP Downloader uses your account credentials only to fetch the story you requested. It can download only content that your account already has permission to read. It does not bypass paywalls, locked chapters, or age restrictions.
FicWad support, along with support for the other fiction archives available through WP Downloader, was ported from the open-source fanfiction downloader FanFicFare.
Read the download on another device
You can also use the downloaded story with another e-reader. See the guides for sending FicWad stories to Kindle or reading FicWad stories on Kobo.
