command line fan fiction program?

[Karen Lewellen]

The goal is to read the works off line, not on the site. i. e. download 
them.
Compare with archive of our own.
www.archiveofourown.org
there one has the option to download, even in lynx for example via the full 
story choice, get the story int ext.
However, not all  fan fiction stories appear elsewhere.
