fanfic_scraper

Background:

Fanfiction.net is a recreational website that allows anyone to write stories in the universes of (usually) published works/media. Here 'fanfic' refers to a fanfiction story.

Problems:

  1. Fanfiction.net disables the copy option on its desktop version.
  2. Some authors delete their stories.
  3. Copying and pasting is an inefficient way to save fanfics anyway. Need to automate the action of saving a story, and scale it so that any number of stories can be saved automatically.

Goal:

Given the link to a fanfic, save the fanfic as PDF file automatically, for future re-reading.

Note: This is for the preservation of selected works of fiction that I deem to be exceptional, not for any replication and distribution of other people's creative output for my own profit.

Tools:

Python, Python libraries: BeautifulSoup4, requests, ReportLab
