The best man and godfather.

watching someone in the metro seat in front of me type out a paragraph long comment on an ao3 fic. she even pulled up notes from her phone.

So does anyone else sit around and wonder when they’re ever going to finish Arthdal Chronicles? It’s criminal they didn’t film it all at once, honestly. The writing team that brought us Six Flying Dragons? I mean… it was almost guaranteed to be a hit. That people don’t talk about it all the time baffles me.

A Korean drama that takes place in pre-history?! The novelty!

Witnessing the birth of civilization?

Of capitalism?

Of religions twisted to control and rule people rather than inspire harmony and spiritual connection?

The contrast between the various peoples - the different tribes, the cities… the ones wandering free in a borderless world contrasted against those who would claim ownership of land and people.

Ancient peoples wiped out - either by design or assimilation.

The last breathes of real magic hidden amongst imposters and frauds.

Politics, love, friendship, and loyalty pushing people through life as they search for meaning and find their places in the changing world.

Secrets identities. Twins. Dreams. Ambitions.

It was so original! So epic! So astonishingly complex and multilayered.

We were just starting to get into some serious dramatic peaks and major shifts in narratives when BAM - the door was slammed shut! An abrupt end. A to be continued?!

Seriously?!

Curse you, Netflix, do you not understand how South Korean tv works? They don’t drag things along for years like we do in America. They move on - they continue to grow - they shift casts and characters and genres frequently - that’s why they maintain such highly skilled actors and keep kicking ass with their dramas.

I’ve heard rumors they’ve finally started filming part two… but of course they’ve lost half the cast. So we’re all gonna have to pretend it’s not strange entirely new actors are taking over the roles halfway through.

Just when my girl was coming into her butt-kicking, heart-snatching (right out of your rib cages, boys!) true identity.

Just when my twins were gaining power.

Just when my high priestess was figuring out she could compete with a king if she played her mystic cards right.

Ya’ll, I’ve watched this show at least six times all the way through and it honestly gets better each viewing. This is some finely crafted storytelling with connecting threads you don’t even notice until round three.

I need Season 2!

I’ll settle for an entirely new cast at this point - I just want to know how the story ends!!!

“Nice to see you again.” His sarcasm cut through the air as precisely as any knife, the lethal edge of his sword almost grazing her neck.

“Why, did you miss me?” she retorted, trying her very best to angle one of her blades in such a way as to stab him in the throat.

With the rumors about Fanfiction.net potentially being abandoned, I decided to start grabbing fanfiction from the Thunderbirds fandom, which has 5.7k fanfics. I don’t think I can save it all by myself, unfortunately.

This is a google spreadsheet I started, with very basic information on what I’ve grabbed and turned into PDFs. I’ve been doing the Print -> Save to PDF method.

If anyone decides to help, make a comment with the name of the fic, the author, the fanfic id number (can be pulled from the URL or the final detail listed after publish date), # of chapters, what format it’s saved to and how you would want to be credited and I’ll add to the sheet as I can.

ok so. i’ll go through your spreadsheet soon, but i have at least 500 PDF’s (i have a folder in here called “favourites”)

feel like this could be a good help xD

Thank you so much, that is amazing!

ok so. I’m probably very late. But. I found this browser extension (firefox here) AND I TELL YOU IT’S A GODSEND

you just open the fic in browser and a button appears next to follow/fav button!

YOU CAN SAVE REVIEWS IN THE SAME PDF REPEAT YOU CAN SAVE REVIEWS TOO

Also bless, you can customise the settings (add custom tags, the format of the document, etc) and YOU CAN SAVE THE SETTINGS SO IT WILL PERMENANTLY BE AT THOSE SETTINGS

This is so efficient. I think I’m going to redo all my saved stories again with the reviews!

gonna show this off bc it’s REALLY FUCKING GOOD

so with the extension on, you get this lovely little new button next to the follow/fav button (ALSO I LEARNED YOU CAN ALSO DO IT FROM THE MAIN PAGE. THAT LITTLE BLUE ARROW :DDD)

this box comes up when you click the save button. It’s got all your lovely settings, this is what i have them saved as. Pretty default except for PDF format, saving reviews, and a Thunderbirds tag. (on the bottom right there’s a little save button. That saves your settings)

click download and the magic happens!!

This is what it’s formatted like pretty much by default. It’s got all your summaries and details.

I opted to include reviews (for the sake of archival, i feel like reviews are important!)

seriously this plugin is a godsend!! i think there’s one for chrome too, but for firefox this is working so so well. I feel like this is a great help to anyone who wants to save any fics from ff.net!

Sam 😭
