Downloadable stories

[josieb1.livejournal.com]

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 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 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.

It does work, you just have to keep trying. I get that message every now and again, but it always works in the end

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. :)

Hi Thanks for the Firefox add in info, I mainly use IE but do have firefox loaded on my laptop so will give that a go. I would love Celebrity and Gossip and How We Got Where We're Going if you don't mind, any chance you could email them to me? I would try and save them myself but time is in short supply at the moment. My email addy is Josie.b1@hotmail.co.uk. Thanks again
