Re: command line fan fiction program?

The goal is to read the works off line, not on the site. i. e. download them.
Compare with archive of our own.
www.archiveofourown.org
there one has the option to download, even in lynx for example via the full story choice, get the story int ext.
However, not all  fan fiction stories appear elsewhere.

Am I missing something in particular?  I visited the site in
Lynx-the-cat and was able to get to a number of the fanfic works
without any issue.  Just to sample, I went in by Movie and sampled
some of the X-Men works, and went in by TV Show and sampled some of
the M*A*S*H works.  They all came back as HTML.

If you're looking for a scraper, the classic "wget" tool should
provide the ability to scrape a subset of the site.  You might then
have to do some post-cleanup if you don't want all the site-related
periphery.

A very long time ago it was possible to download items there, but
now one must use a third party application.
I am wondering if there is a command line tool, something that
might be a part of the Ubuntu distribution since that is what I
have both at shellworld and via dreamhost that can get the works
converting them into well anything?
via robobraille I can convert both epub and pdf into  text.
