  • Hi! I'm Ellachanted and I'm a fanfic-oholic.
2016 version - We are crazy talkers here! Join in the fun!

ADULT DISCUSSION HERE, SO TRY TO KEEP IT CLEAN! UM NO, WAIT! IF YOU ARE EASILY OFFENDED, LOOK AWAY NOW! 

Continuation of our wonderful discussions on Twilight Fanfiction, Books, and Life in general.  But mostly Twilight fanfics... and life stuff that will get me a NOT ALLOWED statement. 

Okay, here is a place to discuss what you are reading, ask for recommendations and complain about the writing.

Everyone is entitled to an opinion, so please play nice   

Because we know drypen's watching    :googlyeyes:

So I was just cruising for any new scifi twifics and came across this. I'm feeling a bit snobbish because I'm actually a bit offended. Is my tolerance for SPaGs too low? This is the entirety of the summary pasted exactly.
Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.
  :evil:
That would be a definite no no-go for me as that summary is headache inducing, and if all those mistakes are in just the summary you can just imagine what the fic is gonna be like.  :(

Can someone help me with a calibre ficfanfaire problem? I've always been able to go to an author's page, and download all of their stories, but now, at least on FF.net, instead of getting JUST the author's stories, it tries to pull everything, their stories, stories they've favorited, authors they've favorited. I was trying to get all Drotuno's stories, and instead of 24 fics, it's trying to pull over 300! Have I messed up a setting somewhere, or is this just something it does now?

It's done that with me for ages.  Quick tip - the stories written by the author are the last on the list, so when you have the list up on calibre, just delete everything before the first story on the the author's my stories list.  Then ff downloader only pulls the author's stories.

So, due to a story search on the 152 thread, I was checking out stories by Chanse Lowell.  You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login
I thought, since the author has published some of her stories, they would probably be pretty good.  I have come away disappointed.  Another author who has some good ideas, but can't follow through.  The stories are internally inconsistent, all too often the come off as more of an outline for a story that needs to be fleshed out than a completed story, or sometimes I just don't like the characters.  They're emotionally flat and don't engage my sympathies.

If her published work is anything like her fanfiction, and I know some of it is P2P fanfiction, my advice would be to save your money.

Change out the www for m to get the mobile site and you won't get anything but the authors stories. 

So, as I said,  easily distracted.  I read two good stories this weekend.  You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login
Edward met Bella but saw here die, so what is she doing at this nightclub.  Bella is a little different.  I would have liked a better ending,  but that's only because my HEA likes a wedding. There is an HEA.  ;)

You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login. I know I read most of this one before. But someone rec'd it on FB and I didn't remember it until I got a few chapters in. I think I was watching it as a WIP, and must have missed updates or something. Anyway,  Bella starts out with Jasper,  but it's anot E/B HEA.

And now I'm back to May December Divide. It's actually good so far.  I can see it will be a little slow in that she thinks he is underage and though she is starting to have feelings for him, she's not sure she isn't confusing it with feelings she may have had for his "father"  Hmmm wonder why.  LOL!

Hmm, I noticed that most of the stories say BDSM.  I always have problems with that. Most of the time, I don't think they know what they are writing about.  Though? One day I am going to finish that one where Bella is the Dom and Edward is a submissive vamp. Because it sounds like it is going to be so funny.  I just never get past the 2nd chapter.  :P

I use Link Clump with Chrome. Just right click and hold it down and drag it down the page and it catches all of the links on that page.

I use Firefox, so dunno if that would work for me. However, someone on the fanficaire forum said if you use the m.ff.net link instead of the regular one, it works to only get that page, not the tabs, so yay!

Is it horrible of me to want to unfriend someone on Facebook?  I friended an author when I first created the account hoping for discussion of their stories and maybe some teasers, I think she has stopped writing and now just keeps posting a LOT of links to published books.  That's fine, but not why I set up the account so I am disappointed when I get notifications and it is not remotely fan fiction related.

 :o :(

If you don't want to unfriend them, you can go to their facebook page and where it is checked Friend?  click on that and you can turn off notifications.  I did that for a few people that I kept getting emails from for things that have nothing to do with fanfiction.  There may be another way as well, but that was the way I did it.

I think you can also hide posts from certain "friends" if you want.  Don't ask me how.  Every time I go on facebook, they've changed the way you navigate around and do things on it.  Which causes me to decrease my visits to facebook even more!

I only go to the groups looking for stories to read.  I rarely look at my newsfeed.  But I was getting emails on any notifications and I got tired of some of them filling my email box.

You can unfollow a friend or group, that way you still remain friends or you remain in the group but their posts don't show up in your newsfeed.  You also want to make sure that you don't have notifications checked.

  • Hi! I'm Ellachanted and I'm a fanfic-oholic.
So I'm reading May December Divide. Bella got a puppy. She had a date with Edward that ended up being an all nighter. In Seattle. From Port Angeles. Is it weird that all I can think about is that they've been gone over 12 hours and that poor puppy is still in his crate?   :o

It is very distracting. 

Spoke too soon. She remembered and called her neighbor to let him out.  ;)

Phew, I was getting really worried about the puppy for a while there and how it was probably crossing it's legs cos it no doubt wanted to pee really badly.  ;) :P :P

It always amuses me that I get so bothered by things like that.  I mean, it is fiction.  Perhaps the puppy has a super bladder or something?   :D :D :D :D :D

I'm exactly the same hun.

I remember reading a fic ages ago that mentioned that Bella and Edward bought a kitten but it was never mentioned again after that, but I kept wondering who looked after it when they went on their honeymoon etc.  :o
