AO3 has a feature that exports stories in various ebook formats. For stories not on AO3, I'm sure there's a way, but it will be more complicated.

Hey. New board.
It depends a lot on where you get your fanfiction. If you can get it in a downloadable form (PDB or html or text or anything else, really), you can probably convert it to a Kindle-style format using Calibre, or you can e-mail it your kindle e-mail address and Amazon will convert it for you. Basically, if you have a good way of saving for offline viewing at all, that saved file can probably be converted to a kindle format with varying degrees of success.
If you have to, you can always do some copy-and-pasting into a word document then e-mail the document to your kindle e-mail address for conversion. You'll lose some formatting that way, most likely, but the result will still be readable.

I've downloaded a few files from A03 and they are on the Kindle app on my computer, however I can't figure out how to get them on the actual Kindle.

I figured out a way to do it, I don't know if it's the easiest way but it's on the Kindle.

Hey. New board.
Ooh, cool! Thanks for that link, DCJ. I might start reading fanfic again soon...

Hey. New board.
That looks like a great choice. Just enter your kindle e-mail address, choose MobiPocket format, then click Download. It will get e-mailed to the address and appear automagically on your Kindle when you're connected to WiFi.
Nifty.

Doesn't it cost money to email things to your kindle address?
Gris - Dec 25, 2011 7:52:10 am PST #19022 of 25501
Hey. New board.
Not if you download the thing over Wifi, instead of 3G. My kindle is Wifi only now, so that's how I always get it. The money is just bandwidth costs, so if it doesn't cost them any cell bandwidth, it's free.
You may need to e-mail to username@free.kindle.com instead of username@kindle.com, I'm not sure.
ETA: I just tested this whole process. Send it to username@free.kindle.com and you can download it for free over WiFi. You have to set flag-noreply@erayd.net as an approved e-mail address on the Personal Document settings in your Amazon Manage Your Kindle page, but then it works well.
