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 (see: How to Use Calibre to Download & Organize Fanfics)
• 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 to physical harddive (portable)
• Backup to secondary harddrive (1x a year when I visit my storage unit)
• Cloud back - NOT SET UP

• 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)

• 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

• 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

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

• 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

• 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?

• 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

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

• Right-click save as normal, sorted by fandom
  • problem is I don't always keep track of the creators which is a problem

• 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!

Add relevant stuff to Fanlore
