While not a dedicated fan fiction site, www.nifty.org does have a
large selection of fan fiction stories. Has anyone looked at adding
support for Nifty?

Nifty basically just stores text files - import them to Calibre and
tell it to turn them into EPubs. No chaptering, at least not in an
organized manner, so no real need for a module.

www.nifty.org is not a very good candidate for FFDL. It has (mostly)
text (ASCII) instead of html. It does not appear to have most of the
metadata FFDL usually collects. And while it's not a firm requirement
for FFDL, nifty.org appears to be mainly original content, not fanfic.

If someone wants to write an FFDL adapter for nifty.org, I'll consider
it, but I won't be writing one myself.
