The stalinist mods have attempted multiple times to stop us. They can’t say it is the reason as they have to keep up a facade of queer acceptance, but we know the truth.

I need my Hexbear. How am I supposed to show how sad I am about hexbear being down without all the hexbear emojis??

The rrrrat on lemmygrad!

I hope you all have a nice week :D

Import/Export Settings keeps returning rate_limit_error? I’ve waited probably an hour now?

Awesome.

Two things I think could be helpfull: Adding a new book in calibre is done in the drop down (small arrow) next to Add Books, you can also add an empty epub there.

EPUBs are XHTML, so HTML 4 and … CSS 2? Essentally keep any HTML and CSS simple. I tried to use grid once, that worked in calibre, but once I opened it in koreader, it was borked.

Calibre. You can actually download this book and add it to calibre, then click edit book to see what I’ve done with it.

If you already know how to do HTML+CSS, you are going to have an easier time.

But it goes something like: Find book, search for it on annas-archive to find the best/cleanest copy I can, run that through OCR (I use OCRMyPDF, just because it’s easy, but it doesn’t have to be it, just anything that will output a TXT file), create a new book in calibre and add an empty EPUB, open that EPUB and add the “ComLib standard [CSS] imports” (see This Soviet World), then just copy from OCR into EPUB, read through it (with the PDF open on another screen) while adding HTML+CSS and re-writing anything that isn’t quite correct.

If you need help with anything, do ping me! If you finish one, do send it over to me so I can upload it on ComLib!

Thanks! This is also hard work. I crammed… I guesstimated 1 hour per chap. yesterday, so somewhere along ~16 hours in these three last days.

It’s great because I also get to read these things. I have some difficulty with sitting down and reading stuff (I have only read 3 of the 5 in crits beginner list + what’s on my website… yea, in ~7-8 months.), so this helps.

Welp, on to the next book! (whatever that’s gonna be, not sure, if you want something you might just get it.) I’ll start on it, then [ADD] on it for a month or two before cramming it in a few days, just as I have done the last three books.
