Read FicWad Stories in Google Play Books
To read a FicWad story in Google Play Books, download it as an EPUB or PDF with WP Downloader and upload the file to your Play Books library. You can then read it on the web, Android, iPhone, or iPad.
Download the FicWad story
WP Downloader is a free web tool, so you do not need to install anything. It saves a complete FicWad story as a single ebook file.
Find the story you want to read. Its address should look like this:
https://ficwad.com/story/1234Copy the address and open the FicWad downloader. Paste the link into the box. WP Downloader will detect that it comes from FicWad.
Choose a file format:
- EPUB is free for everyone and works well for fiction.
- PDF requires a free Discord sign-in.
You can also choose whether to include the story’s images. Start the download and save the finished file somewhere easy to find.
For FicWad, WP Downloader saves the whole story. It cannot download a single chapter or a list of stories. If the author adds chapters later, download the complete story again. WP Downloader cannot add those chapters to an EPUB you already have.

Members-only FicWad stories
Public FicWad stories do not require an account. For a members-only story, you can sign in with your FicWad account through WP Downloader.
Your account must already have permission to read the story. WP Downloader cannot bypass locked content, paywalls, or age restrictions. It uses your account credentials only to retrieve the story you requested.
FicWad support was ported from FanFicFare, the open-source fanfiction downloader.
Upload the file to Google Play Books
Google Play Books accepts personal DRM-free EPUB and PDF files. From its website, you can upload a file stored on your computer or in Google Drive. The Android app also supports uploads.
From a computer
Open the Google Play Books website and sign in with the Google account you use for reading. Choose the upload option and select the FicWad EPUB or PDF.
If you saved the file in Google Drive, select it there. Wait for the upload to finish before opening the book.
Google has an upload size limit. An unusually large story file may fail to upload if it reaches that limit.
From an Android phone or tablet
Save the EPUB or PDF on your Android device. Open the Google Play Books app, sign in with the Google account where you want to keep the story, and use the upload option to add the file.
Once the upload finishes, open the story from your Play Books library.
On an iPhone or iPad
First upload the file through the Google Play Books website. Then open the Play Books app on your iPhone or iPad and sign in with the same Google account. The story will appear in your library.
EPUB or PDF
Google Play Books accepts both formats, but EPUB is designed for ebooks and is a simple choice for fiction. WP Downloader provides EPUB files free to everyone without requiring a sign-in.
Choose PDF if you prefer that format. Creating one with WP Downloader requires a free Discord sign-in. You do not need to install WP Downloader for either format.
WP Downloader does not create MOBI, AZW3, or TXT files. Google Play Books accepts the EPUB and PDF formats used in this guide.
Add new chapters later
The book in your Play Books library contains the chapters available when you downloaded it. If the FicWad story gets new chapters, download the whole story again and upload the new EPUB or PDF to Google Play Books.
For other ebook devices, see the guides to sending FicWad stories to Kindle and reading FicWad stories on Kobo.
