How to Read Missing Pieces Stories in Apple Books

To read a Missing Pieces story from the Pretender Centre in Apple Books, download it as an EPUB or PDF with WP Downloader and add the file to your Books library. You can then read it offline on an iPhone, iPad, or Mac.

Download the story with WP Downloader

WP Downloader is a free web tool, so you do not need to install anything. All you need is the link to the story.

A Missing Pieces story URL looks like this:

https://www.pretendercentre.com/missingpieces/viewstory.php?sid=1234

To download it:

1. Open the Missing Pieces downloader.
2. Paste the story URL into the box.
3. Wait for WP Downloader to detect the site and fetch the story.
4. Choose EPUB or PDF.
5. Choose whether to include the story’s images.
6. Download the file to your device.

EPUB is free for everyone. PDF requires a free Discord sign-in. You do not need a Pretender Centre account to download Missing Pieces stories.

WP Downloader downloads the whole story from this archive. Single chapters and lists are not supported. If the author adds chapters later, download the story again to make a new file. The tool cannot add new chapters to an EPUB you already downloaded.

WP Downloader’s support for Missing Pieces and its other fiction archives was ported from FanFicFare, the open-source fanfiction downloader.
