Thread #5 - 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! 

This is the new thread as the other was sooo long and had lots of pages. 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

I can't stop laughing at the reviews she's getting.  A really stupid move, especially since her book is coming out tomorrow.

Damn, I'm at work! I'm too chicken shit to click on the links! 

I just caught up on the last 5 pages and had a really good laugh. Loopy trying to find a priest with a lot of time to confess to and Demaris trying to catch a glimpse down her date's pants - totally unobtrusive of course. 
I'm still admiring the view when I'm under treatment of my physiotherapist twice a week. Oh to be younger than him! What a great view. He's so my type it's not funny anymore. But he's just as old as Rob and well, I'm married, so that's all pointless, but a girl can look...  I can't even look him in the eyes without blushing like a teenager.  Such a cougar! 

I was on the edge of a reader's block once more, but then I remembered the rec for Ladder to the Sun by rosybud and I couldn't put it down!!! Now that was finally a story exactly for my likes!!! Never too fluffy, not too wordy, enough angst to make me cry. I devoured every single word and I can't remember when it happened the last time!

How can you die when you've never really lived? That's the problem Bella Swan faces when she's told she only has a year to live. Can she make up for a lonely, unhappy life in the short time she has left... and maybe find love too? All-human, EXB

But now that I've finished this and read the outtakes on top I'm facing the same problem. What should I read? I want to be blown away. Like the fic above or Starry Eyed Inside or Wide Awake or Fridays At Noon or The Elusive Mr. Cullen. *sigh*

I tried to read Bloodlines by windchymes, but I really couldn't get into it. I simply didn't care enough for the plot and stopped after 6 or 7 chapters. 

Do you have any recs for me that might blow my mind? I love angst and love a good cry over a fic. It even doesn't have to have a HEA.

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG!!

This is what happens when you are at home sick and too curious for your own good 
Some of them look painful so venture there at your own risk. Thick and pierced are indeed a sight to behold. 

Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.

[/spoiler]

Demaris!!!! Hope some of those will inspire you to go down and take the plunge! 

Dear god. I didn't get the first one cause I didn't see a piercing in that one anywhere. But dear god! The others! Some of them weren't so bad, but then there were some...... jeez! I stopped when I got to those thick bands wrapped around their b*lls. And some of those dudes should have kept their c*cks to themselves. Oilily Sepperl, I second Demaris. Remain chicken shit. There are some things that can never be unseen. And I think some of them may have been photoshopped anyways. Optimistic much?

See this? Stories like this is why I don't read One Shots!!! All I'm doing now is hoping she continues it! Sh!t! 

  I'm glad it wasn't just me...

She has continued this story but not as fanfiction....if you don't mind original-fiction, Here is where you can find the story now. It's still a WIP but she has been good with updates.

She just finish where the one-shot stops I believe, she said the next chapter is with her beta. I haven't read it yet because I am  and have to wait till it's complete or I will go crazy waiting. 

These are a couple of stories that I have been reading, and they seem pretty good.

Do you know if all these are HEA or not? I like to know what I'm getting into before I read a story.
Thank you.

Mark of Beauty is a vamp fic, and if you're okay with Edward using Tanya as his sexual piggy bank for the first half of the fic then you're good. It ends on a good note.

After All I have not finished  I got bored with it, but it filled the manwhore bit because he was such an asshole in the beginning.

Aha Shake is a MUST READ! I can't call it crack fic, but it's soooooooooo ridiculously funny. I am easily amused though, so it might not be your slice of cake. But it ends on a GREAT note and the last couple chapters literally had me wheezing into my pillow to stifle my laughter.

I think? Resisting Edward ended in a good note, but then there's a sequel that threw a wrench into the HEA, but the sequel ended on a good note after a bunch of drama.

Add It Up ended on a good note, but I really hated this Edward. Bella and Edward get their happily ever after, but I still thought Edward was a crazy piece of shit by the end. This is one that might be difficult to read if you don't like them with other people for the majority of the story.

BTW while I was going through all of these links I remembered a story I read that I completely forgot about. It's easily the weirdest HS fic I've read. Not creepy weird, but strange high school nerds that hang out in cemeteries weird. Trigger warning for suicide of a minor character.

Hi, this thread is for recs and discussion of twifics, other things we're reading, and life in general.   The 152 thread which is linked above is where you go to find stories. Or if you know the author there's a link to the index of stories uploaded to the site.

That said,  the story you want is still available on Twilighted. It is not showing as complete.  You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login

I'm creating a new TBR list just now. A list inside a list inside a list....and I keep forgetting where I wrote down the lists.

I started with Trippin, Slippin, Stumbletumblin yesterday and I'm definitely intrigued! I didn't expect it to be a Vampward story, but I don't mind if it's good.

Thanks a lot to you too, Newmoon21! I haven't read any of those and I'll add them to my list.

I'm always stunned when you ladies recommend stories! Most of the time I can't remember any plot details except if the story has a HEA. And that only because there are so few fics without HEA.  It's good for re-reads...though I don't do those because of my gigantic TBR-list. 

Another appointment with my hottie physiotherapist today for me. YAY! It'll be a sad day when my back pain is finally gone.
