Just an FYI about email notifications from TWCS and hotmail. I found I wasn't getting my updates from stories on my fav list so after checking the settings in my account, I email them. I was advised that they were hacked several weeks ago and as a result hotmail blocked them. TWCS has fixed the issue, but they are still locked by Hotmail. I emailed Hotmail but nothing has come of it really. I have moved all of my email notices for my fanfiction stories to another email provider and everything is working great.

Does anyone know if ficsave is having any problems?  I've used it successfully until a week or so ago.  Now when I try to download stories, it seems to work and I get the "Email sent!" message, but the emails aren't arriving.  I've checked my spam folder, filters, etc.  It's like the emails are being held somewhere in the internet void.  It looks like the only way to contact ficsave is through Twitter, and I don't have an account.  Does anyone have any info or ideas for me?  Thanks in advance.

Been and tried it. I can download pdf direct from them (printer icon). But I can't use my ffdownloader to get an epub. Still works on old TWCS, not sure when they intend taking that down. I am guessing the story you want is only on the new site.

Unfortunately it is. I'll download the pdf and then convert. Have a wonderful Christmas.

I believe there will be an update for fanficfare coming shortly that will include the Stars Library. There was talk about it on the creator's website.

I don't know why it won't work for you. Is your Calibre updated? All I did was click preferences  then change Calibre behavior and then plugins, and then load plugin from file and picked where the new zip file was saved from when I downloaded it and it worked.

Then I would go to the forum the link was posted on and put up a posting there about the error you are getting. The creators of the plugin can respond and help you out.

and it seems to be working.   Fingers crossed.

I get that too but not on all downloads just one or two. I have no idea why it accepts some from the same site but not others, very odd.

I can't figure out why you are having so many problems.  I downloaded the zip file from the link Tricklem gave, then followed her directions to add it to my calibre program.  I've had no problems, not had to re-load my log-in info,  and I'm not even using the most up to date version of Calibre.  If I were techno-minded at all I'd give you helpful hints, but I'm not.  All I can say is...Good Luck!
