====== Archiving Fandom ======
//VERY rough draft, basically just notes at the moment.// 

Basically I want to use as few programs as possible so it's not all spread out and I forget what I have where. 

My main tools are:

  * Calibre
  * Associated formatting tools: Dotepub, Google Docs
  * Archivebox (possibly, if I can get it to work)
  * JDownloader

My organization is focused on using Calibre for as much as it makes sense to. I want to balance between being organized and being able to actually use/read the files I save. Calibre works great for the following: fanfic, meta/blog posts/etc. (once converted to a readable format), podfic. I've also jailbroken the library format to organize the following: fanvids

Calibre can actually handle a lot, though because of how it organizes its files (by author) you basically need to use the program to

Data files can add attached things, so I can add fanfic, extra covers, audio, etc. 

===== Backup system =====
  * Backup to physical harddive (portable)
  * Backup to secondary harddrive (1x a year when I visit my storage unit)
  * Cloud back - NOT SET UP

===== Download fanfics =====
  * Calibre + FanFicFare for AO3 and certain other archives (see full list here)
  * Copy-paste text to Doc, import to Calibre + convert to epub
    * previously saved as HTML, but that restricts me to only reading on my computer, and I prefer reading on my phone/Kindle when possible (especially for long fanfics)

==== Special fanfic archive ====
  * Separate Calibre library for deleted fics that people have shared online, that I personally haven't read and may not want, but want to keep track of just in case
  * Also for mass-downloading fanfics in a specific fandom to load onto Kindle for later rather than plug up my main fanfic archive library

===== Download fanart =====
  * Save image (usually just right-click save works) to folder sorted by fandom
    * Filename: Title by artist [year.month.day] 
  * problem: TikTok fanart is audio/visual and most don't let you download to your phone. Need to use 3rd party software for that

===== Download fanvids =====
Use JDownloader (works on most things) and sort into folders by fandom

===== Download meta =====
  * Not sure yet. Have Joplin, have ArchiveBox. Haven't made an effort to do this properly and keep putting it off.
  * Archive.org Wayback Machine

===== Download zines =====
  * Usually can just save the files as normal. Put into folder sorted by fandom
    * Filename: Title [year]
  * New procedure: add to Calibre in separate library perhaps? or in FF library?

===== Download podfic =====
  * Make entry in Calibre library (if on AO3, use FFF)
  * Download audio file using whatever means needed
  * Attach file(s) to Calibre entry using Data Files
    * m4b or m4a is fine as well

===== Download translations =====
Haven't done this and don't really see the need to for my personal archive, though I can understand it's general importance as a fan effort

===== Download icons/other graphics =====
  * Right-click save as normal, sorted by fandom
    * problem is I don't always keep track of the creators which is a problem

===== Download fan music etc =====
  * Right-click save as normal, then sorted into music collection
    * tagged with fandom within program
      * the problem is I haven't actually listened to my own music in years (streaming) so I don't have a decent program to use any longer. I used to use iTunes but it's kind of bloated now. 
      * Update: I downloaded Foobar2000 and am trying to use that AND listen to my own stuff, yay!
