WIP: Will take many posts & time to complete all these uploads. Luckily I saved the 8muses BBCode as text, so don't have to redo the written content other than redo all the images
With over 180 stories, and uploading reduced size cover pics for each years Catalogue Post, it will took a while to get this massive collection completely uploaded.
That's process is now Completed, and this thread is now in maintenance mode. When new content is made available, and is not reduced sized scaled images, it will be added to the catalogue. A guide to obtaining the full sized source images, when I'm no longer able to get them myself.
This is something a little different to the usual Erotic Fiction, this is the work of your typical single caption poster, common on Blogspot.
What makes this author unique, is those captions have evolved from one off panels to full blown stories.
Often with over 100 panels, all containing (by caption standards) a “Huge wall of text”, with each accompanying photo transformed and manipulated in Photoshop.
The author, “Nikki S. Jenkins” has amassed over a decade of experience.
Mostly via her second Blogspot site “The Feminization Station: TG And Sissy Captions” running from 15th August, 2011.
Prior to that her first Blogspot site was dedicated to “The Omar Bell Universe”, First Post was 6 months earlier on 14th March, 2011.
In May 2017, a serious illness, caused Nikki to lose her prior means of income, and led to the successful attempt to become a full Time creator, using Patreon.
Malicious reporting led to the demise of the Patreon, as Nikki came to the realisation that only having her own site, gave her any control of her income.
This resulted in the creation of the Premium WordPress Site, “The Feminization Station” in September 2018.
These were the source sites, now all gone (links kept for reference only).
The Omar Bell site had not been updated (with new captions), since November 2011.
The Omar Bell Universe – Blogspot Site
The Feminization Station: TG And Sissy Captions – Blogspot Site
The Feminization Station – WordPress Site
The Photoshop work, though obvious in the earliest posts, quickly improved, and become excellent by the time the her content was being sold.
This gives the author two advantages, by removing the need to find only transgender models, and being transformative enough to be considered fair use.
There is an existing Requests Forum Thread, for much of this content, but most of Premium Stories are Scaled.
Due to how WordPress works, and the authors serious lack of technical skills.
She knows how photo manipulation in Photoshop works, well enough to make the captions, but little more than that.
As a result, paying customers get automatically served scaled images, not the originals if larger than the scaled limit.
Some of the older uploaded stories (from Patreon?) in the requests thread are only 1080p for earlier premium content.
The current scaled limit is 2560 Pixels (length, or width), and any panel that exceeds that limit is scaled, it's easy to see, as the “-scaled” suffix is added to the name.
Why not use ePub, or PDF?
Due to the format being only in JPGs, rather than Text + Pictures we normally see here in the Erotic Fiction Forum, these are best treated more like an eComic would be.
Most eBook Devices, and PC eBook Readers, including Calibre's eBook Viewer, present CB7 format much better than the converted ePub, with image only content.
If you want to use a basic image viewer that can't handle the CB7 file, just use this 7-Zip context menu option
Extract to “eBook Name”
The CB7 (a renamed 7Z) file will extract to one “eBook Name” folder containing all the JPG files.
Alternatively if you prefer a different archive tool, it should have an equivalent extract command, or why should you prefer it.
Examples
For
<CB7 NAME>.CB7
Use
Extract To “<CB7 NAME>”
For
[2021-07-20] Mirror – 83×JPG.CB7
Use
Extract To “[2021-07-20] Mirror – 83×JPG”
Original Names
About 95% of the content has a standard naming scheme.
n.JPG, where
Start condition is n = 0
Then n=n+1
Until all images are numbered.
Explanation for those thinking;
“WTF that maths shit mean???”
Cover is always 0.JPG, with content starting at 1.JPG, then 2.JPG, 3.JPG …, until all pics are numbered.
I've made this standard the only acceptable original naming scheme, so some (Mostly free content) pics are not original names.
The only reason for this is to ensure correct ordering of the pics, something that those odd original names didn't always do.
So the 5% of stories that don't already follow this standard system, have been renumbered.
Also for Calibre Import reasons, mainly getting the covers to show up automatically, The CB7 comic format must be used.
The more commonly used CBZ format, will just not allow covers to appear, and you can't even browse inside the CBZ to do it manually.
If you still don't understand it yet, CBZ, is simply a zip file with the extension renamed to CBZ.
Similarly CB7, is just a renamed 7Z (7-Zip) file.
This brings up an added complication with 8muses 50MB upload limit, which requires most of the CB7 files to be split, before uploading.
As renamed 7-Zip files, extracting the contents, also removes the CB7 Archive.
Which defeats the object of using the CB7 format, that most ePub readers, including Calibre require, to display the pics as an eBook.
The solution, is to upload the entire Collection in premade folders.
Premium content is always provided as individual Caption Stories, but split into year of release folder groupings.
For the Free content, I haven't bothered with individual Story uploads.
There are way to many smaller stories, and it's all available on one, or both the author's sites.
So all “Free Content” is a mass upload, taking up just 12 split parts, rather than the 64 it would require otherwise.
Numbered, and Named File Sets
Each Folder set (By year for Premium) will have three posts (with five for the first two years, due to being over the limit).
This is entirely due to another 8muses restriction, which is the 60 Attachment Limit on each post.
Numbered, and Named File Sets, are always separate posts, to make choosing just one set much easier.
Folder Structure
Free Content
Free Content is a provided as one collection, but still separated into these Folders on extraction.
Premium Content
Premium Content is always separated into yearly Folders.
TFS\[2017] Premium
TFS\[2018] Premium
TFS\[2019] Premium
TFS\[2020] Premium
TFS\[2021] Premium
TFS\[2022] Premium
…
Inside these extracted folder structures, you will find CB7 files with a standardised naming convention.
Numbered Content
[YYYY-MM-DD] <Book Name> – <Number Of Panels>×JPG by Nikki S. Jenkins.CB7
Example
[2021-07-20] Mirror – 83×JPG by Nikki S. Jenkins.CB7
Named Content
As the renamed files already give the author name, and because extracting the JPGs increases path length, those CB7 files are named thus
[YYYY-MM-DD] <Book Name> – <Number Of Panels>×JPG.CB7
Example
[2021-07-20] Mirror – 83×JPG.CB7
I don't see any reason why anyone would want both named, and numbered sets, as the contents identical.
However if you accidentally extract both sets to the same place, you can use this naming difference to split them.
If anybody, does want both sets, then I strongly suggest Downloading one entire set first.
Then use my system of adding a intervening Name, and Number folder in the TFS folder, to avoid mixing up of the two sets CB7 files.
Example:
TFS\[2021] Premium
Becomes
TFS\Name\[2021] Premium
TFS\Number\[2021] Premium
Download EVERY Attachment with same name.
They are single 7-Zip File Split into parts due to 8muses 50MB upload limit.
You are going to see this same warning, on every post right above the attachments.
I don't expect to see “My archive program says 1st file is incomplete”, because of course it is, it's only split 1, and you need all of them.
Uploads can occasionally break, but the most common mistake is the user error of taking just one part of a split archive, and complaining the files “incomplete”.
Note: An unwelcome, and totally unnecessary restriction of the 8muses site is it does not actually allowing 7Z file uploads.
We can fool the system, only because 7Z, and Zip use the same split archive naming scheme.
The sites file type restrictions, allows all the files with a 3 Digit numerical extension through, wrongly assuming they are split zip archives.
So if I say an Attachment is only one split file, it's just a fake split so the file can be uploaded as an attachment.
I do tell you how many parts to expect in the spoiler tags, of the attachment post, so you have no excuse for not knowing you don't have all the parts.
Catalogue
With over 180 Stories, of varying length, a basic synopsis, of the stories is needed.
The catalogue shows reduced size covers, alongside any additional info Nikki S. Jenkins, posted on the Blog and/or Premium sites.
The Catalogue is split into different posts, on the forum, but you can get my offline original ODT version, and a HTML conversion.
ODT version was made with LibreOffice, and has a basic Macro, to enable the Spoiler function, it's only been used on one Story.
[2013-02-15] Sensitivity Training
Author deemed the comment worth hiding, with Spoilers, so I've done so as well.
If you don't enable the Macro, you just can't show the spoiler content, but Doc works fine otherwise.
The covers in the ODT doc, are embedded, so it's a single file.

TFS\#3 Catalogue\ODT + Pics

Now added a separate Pics Folder version, which is identical, except Pics are Linked, not Embedded.
Apart from the CSS file, this Pics Folder is also identical to the HTML Files folder, and can be Hard Linked, if you have both.
Don't see why anybody except me would need multiple formats, but same applies for the Number/Name variants, the contents are the same, only naming system varies. So I Hard Link them to maintain the variants without doubling storage costs.

HTML version is a Calibre conversion, but it required extensive manual editing to get it working.
The Spoiler uses the <Details> Tag, which requires HTML5 to work, all currently supported browsers should work fine, I use Pale Moon.
Which is a niche Firefox Fork, but still the best option for keeping my pre-Quantum (v57) Firefox must have extensions working.
Many have now become dedicated Pale Moon extensions, since Mozilla turned Firefox into a Chrome clone.
HTML format requires a separate Files folder for Images, and also has a CSS (Cascading Style Sheet) file with formatting info.
