  • Hi! I'm Ellachanted and I'm a fanfic-oholic.
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    :googlyeyes:

I'm surprised too because so many have recc'd her here on this thread, so imagine my annoyance that I'm having to fight to stay awake!

I haven't re-read Dusty yet this month.....joke! :D  I made a play-list from the chapter songs, but Pure Heroine as the sound track? Genius! I love that album too.
I don't think of Drotuno as writing angst. Good drama, action and romance,  but not angst.  The angst usually occurs before the start of the story.

I haven't read that story yet so I can't comment really.  ;)

I'm finding Pure Heroine to be my Summer album this year as it's got a dark feel to it so it's not all light and fluff.  :P

Actually, to be fair, I've just looked at in on FFN and it labelled Humour/Romance (I mislabelled it in my Calibre library) but its still neither of those, it's Unnecessary Drama/Nonsense!  :D Maybe this was her first fic? Maybe? :o Because I have to tell ya, I decided to  read her after someone said she is their 'go-to' to re-read!  :D :D :D

I don't do angst mostly for this reason. And I don't consider most of the "angst" stories to be actual angst. Real angst makes you cry throughout the whole story.  And few fanfic writers can do it. This is not to say the stories aren't dramatic. Just not angst.

Now I like a good drama.  ;)  But I hate those stories that throw bad thing after bad thing at the characters just because they think that's what readers want.  >:(

End it and give me a three years later epi & I'm happy. ;)

I totally agree. Drama is great when you're in the mood for it, but there is such a thing as too much drama. Take Butterflybetty for example. I love her writing, don't get me wrong, but have you read her Awakening series? It's a crap ton of excessive drama in between repetitive lemons and outfit descriptions. It's okay to leave some details out. I will say though that I liked her FBI series.

Chef Edward is used to people fawning over his cuisine. Enter Bella. She would far rather grab a cheeseburger at her favorite place- McDonald's. What is Chefward to do but try and show her the errors of her ways? But can she teach him anything?

I could barely taste dinner tonight, not that it was any amazing culinary concoction, but I have to remember not to do that again.

Oh God! Mofos, that is the absolute worst! Sometimes mid paragraph!  I love that so many people but their imaginations to work and offer up the results, (thankyou! Thankyou! We are most grateful for the freeness..) but did half of you not bother to attend the mandatory English lessons your school provided?!!  :D


I also cringe at some of the writing errors, but seeing as I haven't actually put any of my own writing out there, I try not be too overly critical, luckily I am able to stop a reading a story and put it aside for later (it's not flouncing, I may go back).  I think writing a story in chunks to publish as a WIP might lead to more POV errors from chapter to chapter, but I don't know what leads to those errors in the same paragraph.

LOL!  Mostly I reread the Angel series.  The majority of my rereads are either Actorward or Vampward.  Though I do love First & Ten by Nolebucgrl which is neither. 

Yeah, it could be her first. I'm slowly going through her stuff. Right now, I'm trying to read Glimmer Darkly by Rochelle Allison. Not sure I'm enjoying the style. It's a Vampward, but not standard. And her style is a little annoying. Lots of flashbacks but not well separated so it gets a bit confusing. And Bella seems old for the age I thought she was. But really, it's hard to tell.  :-\   And it feels draggy.  :-\

Now, you see? I liked Glimmer Darkly it's another interesting take on a Vampward back story; and I must admit to being a big fan of Rochelle Allison's fics...only her fics mind... :P

I saw a friend posting about a real book with the phrase "barker lounger" the other day, so it's not just fanfic that needs a good edit sometimes. At least I'm not PAYING for wrong words with fic!

I really hope so too...  :)

On another note, if you use the FFDL in calibre and use it like me with the mobile version of ff.net (because that way you only get the stories by the author you want, not their favourites too...) PLEASE be aware that it only pulls the first 20 stories by that author! The mobile version of ff.net breaks the author pages after 20 stories. You have to go to the second page (and so on) to get the rest...

Yes!  :iagree: :iagree:

It's so annoying to actually pay and end up with bad writing.  I forgive a lot with Fanfics just because they are free.

Hmm. Maybe I should read it and let you know how they compare. Though you have to remember she really loves her lemons. If you gloss over them, they probably add up to one somewhat long story.

And they probably aren't angsty enough for you. Also?  You could stop at the end of the first one and feel done. It's like her Gravity series. They can stand alone. They just may have characters you might not know.  ;)

I haven't re-read Dusty yet this month.....joke! :D  I made a play-list from the chapter songs, but Pure Heroine as the sound track? Genius! I love that album too.
So, do you listen to the songs while reading the chapters?  I've heard some people do that...   it was recommended in Maybe Someday by Colleen Hoover but I didn't get around to buying the songs.

I can second Shiver, I loved those!

Can someone tell me what Trippin, Slippin, Stumbletumblin By YellowGlue is actually about? The blurb or whatnot doesn't tell me anything!
Did you read Demaris' review at Goodreads?  If you can get past the silly title and enjoy a fic with "pretty words" then surely you'll like this one!

For YA, i love the writing of Colleen Hoover and Abbi Glines.  :)

There are some writers that i absolutely love but i put off reading their books, saving it for when am feeling down or nothing seems to keep me interested. It helps that i discovered them "late" so they have a number of older books/series i havent read. However, if the book is part of a series, i tend to finish them once i start. This is why i havent read Kristen Ashley's Unfinished Hero and Chaos series as well as Abbi Glines' Seabreeze series to name a few. But as soon as any of their series i've read has a new book, i will definitely read it as soon as it is released (colorado mountain, rosemary beach, vincent brothers, sylvia day's crossfire).
I absolutely adore all of Colleen Hoover's books...   She's one of the authors that I will read no matter what the book is.  I hope she writes more books ASAP!    I'm still not sure what to think about Abbi Glines.   I read the Fallen Too Far series and my friends were just raving about it but I could just NOT get into it.   I'm a sucker for an insta-love story done right, but this just seemed to much for me.   Maybe I just wasn't in the mood for that genre when I read that series and should try something else written by her?  This is all I remember about the Fallen series (Spoilers ahead) ---
Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.
   

Have you read the Fantasyland series by Kristen Ashley?   Those are some of my favorite books when I'm looking for a fun escape from reality!   I read Knight and Rock Chick but didn't like those enough to read more than the first book.   Fantastical though...   these are great stuff! I've only read the first 3 so far but can't wait to read the next one.
