I finally did it. I went through the entire web fiction archive and turned it into EPUBs (except the NEO manga PDF).

330 "books", 2.24 GB

All stories have the proper metadata with title, author(s) and series (set/block/anthology) and include the proper cover image as shown on the MTG Story Archive here: https://magic.wizards.com/en/story

Link

This is the link to the Google Drive containing the files. The anthologies and chapters are separated by folder so you can choose your preferred reading experience.

It was A LOT of work but made much easier using a variety of software tools to automate the most important steps.

Future

In the future I may write custom software that would let me scrape a database of links and do every step automatically but that would take longer than the one whole day it took me to do this. There's is also no source that I know of that has a complete mostly of all free web fiction with working links. It's a mess on the mothership.

Enjoy!
