Read Sheppard/Weir Stories in Apple Books
WP Downloader can save English-language Command Dynamics stories from sheppardweir.com as EPUB or PDF files that open in Apple Books. It is a free web tool, so you do not need to install anything.
Download a story with WP Downloader
Find the story on sheppardweir.com and copy its address. A story link looks like this:
https://sheppardweir.com/fanfics/viewstory.php?sid=1234 Open the Sheppard/Weir downloader, paste the link into the box, and wait for WP Downloader to detect the site.
Choose a format:
- EPUB is free for everyone and opens in Apple Books.
- PDF also opens in Apple Books, but creating one requires a free Discord sign-in.
- You can include the story’s images if you want them in the downloaded book.
WP Downloader saves the whole story. It cannot download a single chapter or a list from this site. Support for Command Dynamics was ported from FanFicFare, the open-source fanfiction downloader.
You can download public stories without signing in. If you have a sheppardweir.com account, signing in lets WP Downloader reach members-only stories that the account can read. Your credentials are used only to fetch the story you request. WP Downloader cannot bypass members-only access, paywalls, locked chapters, or age restrictions.
Save the finished EPUB or PDF to your device. The Sheppard/Weir download guide covers the download process in more detail.

You can import the downloaded file from Safari or the Files app.

If you saved the story in Files:

Get newer chapters
Apple Books will not receive new chapters automatically because WP Downloader does not update an existing EPUB. When the author adds chapters, return to the Sheppard/Weir downloader and download the whole story again. Import the new EPUB or PDF into Apple Books using the same steps.
