Use WP Downloader to save stories from the Criminal Minds Fic Archive, also called The Hookup Zone, for offline reading. It works with story links from thehookupzone.net and criminal-minds-fiction.com. The tool is free, works in your browser, and requires no installation.
Download a story
- Copy the story link. It should look similar to
http://thehookupzone.net/CriminalMinds/viewstory.php?sid=1234. - Paste the link into the download form above.
- Select PDF as the output format.
- Choose whether to include the story’s images.
- Sign in with Discord when prompted. PDF downloads require a free Discord sign-in.
- Start the download and save the PDF to your device.
WP Downloader downloads the entire story. Single chapters and story lists are not supported for this archive. You can also use the main Criminal Minds Fic Archive downloader.
PDF and EPUB options
A PDF contains the complete story that WP Downloader can access through the link you submit. You can open it in a PDF reader or keep it on your device for offline reading.
For a reflowable ebook, use the Criminal Minds Fic Archive to EPUB converter. EPUB is free for everyone. PDF also is free, but requires a Discord sign-in. WP Downloader does not create MOBI, AZW3, or TXT files.
WP Downloader cannot add new chapters to an existing file. When a story is updated, submit its link again and download a new copy.
Support for this archive was ported from FanFicFare, the open-source fanfiction downloader licensed under Apache-2.0. The supported sites page lists the other compatible fiction archives.
Archive sign-in
You can download publicly readable stories without a Criminal Minds Fic Archive account. Signing in with an account from the archive is optional.
An archive account may be needed to reach a members-only story. WP Downloader uses your credentials only to fetch the story you request, and it can access only material that your account is already allowed to read. It does not bypass members-only access, age restrictions, or other locks.
The two sign-ins have separate purposes. Your archive account gives WP Downloader the same story access that you have on the site. Discord sign-in enables PDF output.
FAQ
Can I download a single chapter?
No. WP Downloader accepts whole-story links from the Criminal Minds Fic Archive and downloads the complete story. It does not support individual chapters or lists from this site.
Do I need a The Hookup Zone account?
You do not need one for public stories. If a story is restricted to members, you can sign in with an archive account that already has permission to read it.
Why do I need Discord for a PDF?
PDF downloads require a free Discord sign-in. Choose EPUB if you prefer not to sign in with Discord.
What if my story does not download?
Make sure you pasted a story page from thehookupzone.net or criminal-minds-fiction.com. WP Downloader does not accept single-chapter or list links from this archive. Visit Help for more troubleshooting guidance.
