I will make a note! That's kind of a drawback with me writing an off-the-cuff tutorial, is that I'm not starting from a stock install to make sure I'm clear on how to do everything new, I have my fairly significantly customized install.
(FanFicFare is for downloading from the web, if you have the fic on your computer already, you can just drag and drop that straight into calibre and convert, with the caveat that Calibre does not natively support .doc/.docx files. If you save it as something else--html is probably the ideal choice--you can just import that file straight into calibre, and then use the 'convert books' function (in the top bar or the rightclick context menu) on that book now in your library, which will pull up a dialog where you can select a bewildering variety of options but you will likely only need to pick 'mobi' in the dropdown in the top right corner. I can uh explain that in better detail if you need, this is even more off the cuff and I'm in the middle of a 3d modeling project right now and happened to check my email.)
