Hi Karen,
I may have a door into cloudflare, although it is not them who are in attack
mode, but ffn itself. I did write to the ffn support email address, please do
the same if you do not mind. that address is
support@fanfiction.com
Ah, okay, good to know. I think I will write to them as well.
You get the same cloudflare error, not even getting a captcha to solve. Is that
No, I do NOT get the cloudflare error with Firefox, only with lynx,
links+ and w3m (another text browser).
Now, depending on your setup, there is a fanfiction dowloader program that
might work for you.
Interesting, but if I am going the download route I can also use Firefox.
I just really don’t like to read long texts in graphical programs. With
text programs, I can control the font, size, etc. myself, which makes it
easier to read, and am not as easily distracted by graphical effects or
advertisements.
Because of the captcha used all over ffn, I tend to save lynx bookmarks with
author's m.fanfiction.net pages and use lynx p option to save chapters.
I have never seen a captcha there before. I normally bookmark the last
chapter I have read, or the first for a story I haven’t yet read, but
in the normal format, that is,
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/storyid/chapternumber
Rather a dance yes, but as you noted, many many writers only exist at ffn.
Thanks for letting me know I am not alone.
Indeed. You’re welcome!
Cloudflare has a phone number...I am calling after the Holidays.
Good plan. Maybe this can make someone there aware that lynx users
are an actual thing.
Enjoy your holidays,

Wish I had pine to hand :-( I'll give lynx a try, thanks.
