Fan Fiction e-books
12/10/08 17:39I've been wandering around the internet today - my stomach ulcer gave me hell last night so I wasn't in any condition to do anything other than lay around like a very painful lump - and I stumbled across the Ebook Library, which is a site for fan fiction authors to upload their fan fiction in various formats so those of us with ebook readers (me!) can read it on the go. If you haven't visited there, you really need to. It's a absolutely wonderful place.
I'm thinking about uploading my fiction there just as soon as I figure out how to direct link to my divshare account. Everyone else on the site has a click/download method going on and I can only figure out how to link them to the web page to download the stuff. Why does linking have to be so complicated?
In any case, I'm kind of hoping that a few authors out there on my friends list *cough*hint*cough* would consider having their fan fiction done up in e-book format. Ever since I got my Sony Reader (a gift from my awesome sister), I've been ebook-ing my favorite fan fiction like mad. Having that site just made my life that much easier.
The only thing I'm having issues doing - as far as ebook-ing - is figuring out how to insert a table of contents that is accurate. I'm using a portable version of MS Windows 2007 for the computer I ebook on and every time I try to create a table of contents (for personal use, I put several stories in one ebook) that has the correct page number for which page each story is on. I'll have to keep working with it, I guess.
Other than that, everything works out nicely. I just finished doing a love Magnificent 7 e-book for myself with multiple stories - all Chris/Ezra - with lovely art and book covers. Too bad Sony Reader only shows pictures black and white. Oy vey.
Anyhow, if you haven't been over there, run now. It really made my day.
