sharky July 22, 2014 Share July 22, 2014 (edited) The only way to do it at FF.net is to cut and paste yourself. AO3 gives you a one-touch option to download the story in several different file types. So what I did was download the PDFs to my tablet and then I could read them offline while on my flight. Its just a much easier way to do it. There are also some other cool options with AO3 that I prefer to FF.net like a Kudos button for stories and bookmarks, which I just prefer to the following/favorite option on FF. If you haven't used AO3 yet, you should definitely check it out. It doesn't have as much fanfic but what it does has is generally more quality than FF -- at least in my opinion. That being said, I do post my fic on both just to reach a wider audience. /end loquacious jibbering ETA: Or download from FF the way daxx suggested. Also Neighborly Affections is smutty but good. Same with Sex Ed with Killian Jones, which is a few more chapters ahead on FF than AO3. Edited July 22, 2014 by sharky 1 Link to comment
Rumsy4 July 22, 2014 Share July 22, 2014 (edited) Checked your page and found several I haven't yet read. Ugh, read ghost hook again and yes teared up again... Already read catchlight, it is good! Oh! I'm glad. :-) That ghost!Hook fic haunts me to this day (couldn't resist). The only way to do it at FF.net is to cut and paste yourself. I can never copy paste from ffnet, though. I don't think you can, can you? I use a program called FanFictionDownloader to get fics off ffnet. Edited July 22, 2014 by Rumsy4 2 Link to comment
sharky July 22, 2014 Share July 22, 2014 Holy crap, you can't copy/paste! I just assumed that was the way to do it but didn't realize that didn't even work. Yikes. Then just ignore everything I said about FF.net apparently. :) Although that does make me wonder because you can copy/paste from AO3 and someone actually plagiarized my work once by posting my story on FF.net. I always assumed she just stole it from the site, but she must've grabbed the text from AO3. Ah, to be plagiarized. I was both offended and flattered. Link to comment
Rumsy4 July 22, 2014 Share July 22, 2014 That's horrible, sharky! How did you even find out? I hope you were able to get it taken down! ugh... Link to comment
daxx July 22, 2014 Share July 22, 2014 Oh! I'm glad. :-) That ghost!Hook fic haunts me to this day (couldn't resist). Very punny. Yes I read it every time I see it and it makes me tear up and my throat gets tight. Quite silly actually. She does a great job at the humor at the beginning then the tragedy at the end. Gets me every time. 1 Link to comment
sharky July 22, 2014 Share July 22, 2014 That's horrible, sharky! How did you even find out? I hope you were able to get it taken down! ugh... She copied two of us and someone was nice enough to a) notice and b) send me a note about it. She took it down quickly so no harm no foul I guess, but that was the first time that ever happened to me. FF.net did seem pretty easy to deal with when it came to reporting it so at least there was that. 1 Link to comment
RadioGirl27 July 22, 2014 Share July 22, 2014 (edited) Put Me in Coach is my favorite fic right now and I want more than two chapters! It's so good. I was dying reading the most recent chapter. It was so sad... I'm European and baseball is not my thing, so I wasn't going to read it, but everyone around here said it was so good that I decided to give it a try. And, you all were right, it is really good, one of my favourites right now. But I'm happy it's going to end soon, I hate those fics that are unnecessarily long, those that tell every chapter from three or four different point of view.

Leia1979 July 22, 2014 Share July 22, 2014 If you're a Kindle user, another way that works with FF.net (though is quite tedious with numerous chapters) is the "Send to Kindle" browser plugin for Firefox or Chrome. 1 Link to comment
Serena July 23, 2014 Share July 23, 2014 I've already used Fanfiction Downloader and it works quite well. Link to comment

Rumsy4 July 27, 2014 Share July 27, 2014 I've written something really smutty, but am afraid to post it. "What if someone in real life finds out" being my most pressing concern. I've even thought of making a sock-puppet account to post it. :-D Any suggestions? Link to comment
Souris July 27, 2014 Share July 27, 2014 Use a nom de fanfic! I don't think there's anything wrong with that. Tons of authors write under more than one pseudonym. Link to comment
sharky July 28, 2014 Share July 28, 2014 I think AO3 allows you to have pseudonyms if you want to post something under a different name. Link to comment
FanaticalWriter July 29, 2014 Share July 29, 2014 Ao3 does let you use a pen name, but it still shows the original name in parentheses next to the pseudonym, at least in my experience. I personally don't find it to be a bad thing, since it helps connect my FF.net and Tumblr names both with my AO3 account, but if someone wanted to truly be anonymous with a work, that might not be the route to take. Maybe someone who is more familiar with AO3 will know if there's a way to turn that off or something; I'm still in the process of gradually transferring fics over to there. Link to comment

I might end up publishing that fic on ffnet afterall, but I haven't decided yet. Thanks for all your suggestions! 1 Link to comment
Souris July 29, 2014 Share July 29, 2014 Well, I now expect to see about a bazillion fanfics about the Hook's hand spoiler. I want to read them all! 2 Link to comment
sharky July 29, 2014 Share July 29, 2014 And we don't even know if it's a real spoiler! I will say that I do think there are a few that have already been posted before -- not sure of the quality though. Link to comment

mtsmvfn August 1, 2014 Share August 1, 2014 I have two friends that write mostly Snowing but are CS converts.I love both their take on CS. One is whiteladyofthering on ff.net(harbors of my own and when the sun creeps on yor covers ) are great CS and their characterization of both Hook and Emma is spot on.the other is Icings(The Here and Now) really good CS. 1 Link to comment
Sabs August 2, 2014 Share August 2, 2014 I don't usually have time for fanfiction, but I've seen you post about Tokens of Good Will, so I started reading it today. Pretty great premise! I'll probably waste too much time reading, and I can't wait. :-) 1 Link to comment
sharky August 2, 2014 Share August 2, 2014 Reading fanfic is never a waste of time, no matter how smutty, non-canon, or completely crazeballs a story gets -- even if it has to take you until 2am with glasses of wine to finish it! :) And for those of you following it, Under a Crimson Flag is updated. Seems this is the last chapter! Boo! But she promises an epilogue and a sequel so it can't be all bad, right? 2 Link to comment
Dianthus August 2, 2014 Share August 2, 2014 (edited) Doot-da-do! Tooting my own horn! My first OUaT fic Give the Boy a Hand (http://archiveofourown.org/works/2066988) is up at AO3. It's fairly short (<5,000 words) and sweet. I hope you like it. Sorry: the link doesn't seem to be working. Edited August 2, 2014 by Dianthus 3 Link to comment
daxx August 2, 2014 Share August 2, 2014 Found a new fic I like. A woman like the sea. Modern CS AU, Emma is a police officer in Storybrooke and Killian is a marine researcher. https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10578080/1/A-Woman-Like-the-Sea 1 Link to comment
Souris August 3, 2014 Share August 3, 2014 All the rampant Emma speculation in the Spoilers thread made me start something else: Melt With You. Is anybody else reading Adrift? I'm enjoying it so far, and it seems to be updated regularly. 2 Link to comment
YaddaYadda August 3, 2014 Share August 3, 2014 I'm reading Adrift. It's not bad. I'm also reading Chasing Light which has now moved from Lieutenant Duckling to Captain Swan. I think I'm following like 4-5 fics right now. Time is flying by but Summer has been long! Link to comment

Curio August 13, 2014 Share August 13, 2014 Okay, confession time. I've never been able to get into fanfic. Like, ever. But after reading some of the comments in here, I decided to give Put Me In Coach a shot because y'all got me curious. Oh my gosh so good. I literally read all of it today. But now I have a question for the audience: how often does this author update? Damn it, I probably should have paced myself... 1 Link to comment
Rumsy4 August 13, 2014 Share August 13, 2014 (edited) But after reading some of the comments in here, I decided to give Put Me In Coach a shot because y'all got me curious. Muahaha... welcome to the fanfic club (or the current sob fest for PMiC)! BK has been updating only every few weeks of late, so I recommend reading other fanfics to help tide over the waiting period. ;-) I'm in great hopes that Beyond the Horizon will get updated soon! Edited August 13, 2014 by Rumsy4 Link to comment
Dianthus August 13, 2014 Share August 13, 2014 Dammit, you guys...tore thru Put Me in Coach last night. Purt' near cried my eyes out. Listening to the radio this morning, all about Robin Williams. More crying. Useless buckets of salt. In happier news, my Zazzle.com shirt arrived yesterday. The Totally Hooked shirts at the ABC store just don't really do it for me, so I went to Zazzle and made up my own. It's a plum-colored V-neck (of course) with the words 'Good Form' across the front in gold letters (Old English Bold font). I'm thinking of getting 'Bloody Hell' on maroon too. Also, hoping to have part I of my OUaT/BtVS crossover Kindred Spirits posted by the end of the week. If you're not familiar with BtVS, you will be spoiled for it. 1 Link to comment
Dianthus August 13, 2014 Share August 13, 2014 Sorry for the double posting. Was wondering if anyone here shared a funny little kink of mine? I enjoy body a/o gender swap fics, so I was toying with the idea of a CS gender-swap fic. It would take place in the Enchanted Forest w/o involving other Storybrooke folks. Can't you just see Killian as the Audrey Hepburn type? Link to comment
sharky August 13, 2014 Share August 13, 2014 I don't think I've read that many gender swap fics. Sounds intriguing! Link to comment
Dianthus August 14, 2014 Share August 14, 2014 I don't think I've read that many gender swap fics. Sounds intriguing! I've read a few in Spuffy fandom. Their relationship didn't follow traditional gender roles (i.e., Spike was always the one who wanted to talk, Buffy was emotionally unavailable) and there's magic in the mix, so it wasn't a big stretch to go from switching roles to switching gender. It can get a little confusing at times, but I find it interesting if done well. Link to comment
Lieutenant August 15, 2014 Share August 15, 2014 I'm in great hopes that Beyond the Horizon will get updated soon! Wish granted! I'm gonna have to reread the last few chapters, so I'm up to speed again. Not that that's any woeful task, lol. 1 Link to comment
