The fanficdownloader app will find the URL in the epub & then I can grab the metadata which includes the summary.  And actually, the mobis I had just required me to change them to epubs first.  But still, it is a lot of work.

Does anyone know on Calibre if there's a way to retrieve the covers/metadata of PDFs, or will I have to find the URL and add them through the FFDL plugin?

Yeah...I read this discussion and my first thought was - English, please!

Now I feel like I should be wearing a helmet and wiping the drool from my mouth - You're all so tech savvy! I'm a little jealous.

I just d/l direct from flagfic to a folder on my desktop. Save by title by alphbetical order. No backup. No cross referencing.

And I do a little happy dance when I transfer fics across to my e-reader 

But you know what's really sad - my friends (the real-life ones - not you lovely ladies) all think I'M a technological genious! Can you hear the banjo music playing???

Pet peeve of mine is when someone asks for a fic name like this 'Well E and B fall in love and B gets pregnant and then E leaves and B dies blahblah'. Well thanks a lot, even if someone does find it there's basically no point in me reading it ever - use spoilers, for the sake of my sanity

Ha! A lady after my own heart!!! See Astro it's not just me! I'm absolutely with you in terms of using spoilers, I don't want to know the details of fics I've not read I want to experience the story for myself, otherwise what's the point?

Oh Godzy and Giney - always makes me laugh especially Gineyland USA.  :DI was exactly the same the first time I read The Screamers (read it at least a dozen times since  ), but the angst is definitely worth it

There must to something wrong with me..I have tired to read Screamers twice I have flounced each time, what am I missing?! 

Also still reading EP. Lordie this story is long! I'm loving it but so far I have found very little difference between this and Sempre...

I read Screamers once. It was easier as a WIP. I love Kiya and all she writes

EP is my faaaaavvveee! I've read it 13 times. Never gets old. Can't wait for Sempre to hit the big screen.

Talking about FF to published, I had no idea Edward Wallbanger had been published as Wallbanger? My understanding is that there is very little difference

Frankly, as far as I'm concerned, anyone who figures out how to use this website is a pretty much a tech genius. It took me forever to learn all this stuff.  And mostly? I fake it really well (cue Sally orgasm noises here)  I still avoid Facebook.  Other than the twilight fic finder pages.

Also, I crash a lot of computers.  I blame my magnetic personality  - being as how computers really don't like magnets. 

So I've had to learn how to fix things.  And mostly? I use Google to get the answers and just do what they say.....after making sure my stuff is backed up.  The worst part is, I can rarely remember how I fixed something once it's done.  So I google again......sigh.....

I'm also REALLY good at reloading computers from scratch.  Yeah.  Did I mention I like to crash computers??    

Simon?! Over here in the UK that's possibly the least sexy name ever. Think I'll stick with the FF version!

It is? News to me; and I live in London....

Facebook!  Arrrgh!  When my daughter started high school, she decided she needed a facebook page.  So I started my facebook page so I could stalk her and her friends.  I now only get on it when new pictures of my daughter (now off at college) post, or she changes her relationship status.  Every time I get on facebook, they have changed things and it takes me forever to figure out how to navigate through my own information, much less someone else's.  It makes me very tense and frustrated.  So I avoid facebook, groan, and repeat.

Personally I think Facebook is the devil..Why would i want to be found by people I've not heard from for 10 years?!

LOL! I stalk my nieces on it and have family only for my personal one.  I initially got on it because a friend talked me into it. Next thing I know, all these people I barely know are filling up my page with all sorts of stuff I'm not interested in.  I dumped them all, went private and rarely look at it.

Then I have an Ellachanted one just so I can access the various fanfic groups.  I just answer posts and look at stuff.  I have no idea how to upload pictures or anything. LOL!

Though it was funny, when I went private, I also removed all personal information because I was worried about Facebook's privacy policies, and my sister called and asked if I got divorced and she missed it! I guess a friend of hers got married and announced it by changing her Facebook status. 

It's crazy! My assistant stalks her "boyfriend" on that infernal thing. Fair enough, they're doing long distance, but still; if she sees a woman's arm in a corner of a picture she starts hyperventilating that he's cheating on her! Any new "friend" is a potential threat...And honestly, how can anyone have 400 "friends" it's f-ing ridiculous! And good luck getting her to do any work on a bad Facebook update day.   I'd really like to mark that sucker's berg!   

Gah - people who don't have kids shouldn't partner with betas who don't have kids!

Reading a new story from one of my favourite authors, and I'm loving it with the exception of the 6 1/2 year old that talks like a 2 year old.  Seriously folks, 6 year olds talk like normal people!!

I actually quite like both of those names, there is something to be said about traditional, timeless monikers ...What's a...."fashionable" name in the US? Chuck? 

LOL! God, no....I think Jason might be - it's a pretty popular name. Steve was always a favorite of mine, but it's not so popular anymore. Alex? Josh?

Really, though, it can't be worse than Christian LOL!

I had a facebook for YEARS...ton of 'friends' (90% were people from high school that I didn't care at all about) and I finally got so tired of seeing random posts from people on what they made for dinner, how the traffic was when they did their errands and their daily 'accomplishments' (all the chores they completed and miles they ran lol) that I deleted my entire page. I created a fanfiction acct just so that I could lurk on some of the boards for rec's but I haven't had my personal page for a year now and do not miss it at all.

And now I've noticed that facebook is everywhere. It's kind of like Walmart.
