Read The Hookup Zone Stories in Google Play Books
To read a Criminal Minds Fic Archive story in Google Play Books, download it as an EPUB with WP Downloader and upload the file to your Play Books library.
WP Downloader is a free web tool that requires no installation. It supports stories from thehookupzone.net and criminal-minds-fiction.com.
Download the story with WP Downloader
Find the story you want on the Criminal Minds Fic Archive. Its link may look like this:
http://thehookupzone.net/CriminalMinds/viewstory.php?sid=1234Copy the full URL from your browser and open The Hookup Zone Downloader. Paste the link into the box, and WP Downloader will detect the site.
Choose EPUB for a file whose text adjusts to different screen sizes. EPUB downloads are free for everyone, and you can include the story’s images if you want them in the book.
You can also download a PDF, although this requires a free Discord sign-in. Google Play Books accepts both EPUB and PDF files.
WP Downloader downloads the entire story from this archive. It cannot download a single chapter or a list of stories. If the author adds more chapters, download the story again to create a new EPUB with the chapters currently available. An existing EPUB will not update automatically.

Access members-only stories
You do not need an account to download public stories. For a members-only story, you can sign in with your account for the archive. WP Downloader can then fetch the content that account is allowed to read.
Your credentials are used only to fetch the story you requested. WP Downloader does not bypass membership rules, paywalls, locked content, or age restrictions.
Support for this archive was ported from the open-source fanfiction downloader FanFicFare.
Upload the EPUB to Google Play Books
Google Play Books accepts DRM-free EPUB and PDF files. After uploading a story, you can read it on the Play Books website or in the Android, iPhone, and iPad apps.
Upload from a computer
Open the Google Play Books website on your computer and sign in to the Google account you use for reading.
Choose the upload option, then select the EPUB from your computer or Google Drive. Wait for the file to finish uploading and processing.
The story will then appear in your Play Books library. Open it in your browser to check that it is ready to read.
Upload from an Android phone or tablet
Download the EPUB from WP Downloader to your Android device. Open the Google Play Books app and use its upload option to add the file.
Make sure the app is signed in to the Google account where you want to keep the story. When the upload finishes, open the story from your Play Books library.
Read on an iPhone or iPad
Upload the EPUB 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.
Once Google has processed the file, the story will appear in that account’s Play Books library.
If the upload does not work
Check that the file is an EPUB or PDF. WP Downloader does not create MOBI, AZW3, or TXT files.
If the book does not appear on another device, make sure both devices are signed in to the same Google account. You may also need to wait for the upload to finish processing before opening the Play Books app.
Very large files can reach Google’s upload size limit. If a story with many chapters or images is too large, download it again without including the images.
You can also send a The Hookup Zone story to Kindle or read it on Kobo.
