Put the story URLs in a file and use:

fanficfare -i <file> or --infile=<file>

However, please do not use huge long lists of URLs!  You'll get yourself blocked from the websites!

If you're pulling from multiple sites, you might alternate sites you pull - first FF.net, then Ficwad, then TTH, then SIYE, then back to FF.net - that way it eases the load on each particular site.

Yes! Thanks Tara Li, I should have mentioned that.

From https://github.com/JimmXinu/FanFicFare/wiki/FAQs :

> Checking for updates on dozens (or hundreds or thousands) of stories at once causes excessive traffic on the source site. fanfiction.net in particular has been known to block people's IP address if they generate too much traffic.

At some point, I really need to write a PROCMAIL recipe that will watch my mailspool and pull updates automatically when the notice comes in.
