Hi all,

I was asked to remove my smut Fanfics from fanfiction.net and I copied about 4,000 reviews from the 28 Fanfics I took down.  I want to add them into my own site, into the efiction script, but adding thousands, one at a time, will take forever.  So I wondered if there was a way to add them enmass from the HTML document I copied them to, or at least a way to add them directly into the script bypassing the review submission form?

Thanks in advance.

PD

I know this is super late response, but there is theoretically a way to do this. Reviews are fairly simple compared to some other things. You would have to be comfortable enough and have access to your database. Then you could write a query to do this. You'd first have to prepare the data in the right way. All in all it might not save a ton of time. It kind of depends on what state the data is in currently. Formatting it to insert it into the database might take as long as manually entering the reviews anyway.
