Downloadable stories

Hi

I am off on holiday shortly and will be taking my laptop, but I won't have any internet access.  I will go stir crazy if I don't have any fan fic to read, does anyone know of any downloadable stories please, that I can take with me. (or I hate to ask this as it usually causes controveshy but anything they can email me?)

I am a B/J shipper that likes a happy ending, and I love long stories, but other than that I don't have any preferences. Thanks

NB: Loads of options/ideas provided, see coments

If you use Firefox, there's an add-on that lets you save any web page as a pdf (that you could store on a flash drive, as [livejournal.com profile] lougenessis suggests). It's great for when you're reading that goooood story and you don't want to worry about losing the bookmark or the site crashing or being taken down - long live the Wayback Machine then! :)

PDF Download (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/636)

That said, I have Celebrity and Gossip by [livejournal.com profile] yoursweater and How We Got Where We're Going by Allie, if you haven't read those yet and would like them. Celebrity/Gossip are AU but still B/J.

It don't work :(. I tried it a few times, but I always get this message.

We're sorry! Please try converting your web page again in a few minutes.

You've requested your conversion at a peak period and unfortunately because of this, our servers were unable to process your request this time. Please try converting your web page to PDF again in a few minutes.

Yeah, it was glitchy yesterday and today I kept getting a "we're sorry, it's a peak conversion period" message... you have to just keep trying.

Also, I noticed if I tried to save a page where the URL had cut-tag code, I kept getting an error message. So I just deleted the cut-tag part of the URL (everything after .html, basically) and then it worked. :)

You'll need to send me an email addy - I tried the LJ email from your profile page and it bounced back undeliverable.
