  • Hi! I'm Ellachanted and I'm a fanfic-oholic.
Thread #7 - 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 swear I need my head read as I went with my daughter to her antenatal class today as her b/f couldn't get time of work and seeing all those pregnant women's bumps have made me really broody, I even text the hubby asking if he wanted another baby now instead of in a few years time.  :sign0085: :sign0085:
I'm sure by tomorrow I'll be feeling the total opposite (I hope).  :D :D

Code RED!  Go pet your puppy until the feeling fades.

Just wait until your daughter's baby is there and at home and waking up in the middle of the night before making any rash decisions.

Of course I am trying to decide if we want another, so I'm not the best one to take advice from.  But everyone sleeping through the night is awful nice right now.

I love a good mob story.  >:DNone of the "extra" books in the series as anywhere near as long as Sempre, as they were originally outtakes from EP they're all novellas.  :)
Oh so Made is part of the extras from EP? I didn't realize that.  I thought maybe it was newly released after Sempre got so much attention.

Did any of you read Sarah Elizabeth's Don't Let Me Go?  I'm trying to decide what to read next.   I still haven't read her previous book.   Demaris, where are you? You usually jump right on these books!

As for my daughter's baby, her and the b/f are going to be dealing with him/her as that's why we're converting the attic so they can have more space and we won't be able to hear them.  :P

That's the one thing that doesn't bother me - not being able to sleep as I suffer with insomnia so as long as I get my hour a night I'm okay.  :o :D

But I'm liking the idea that Dior will be starting pre-school next September, so in just over a year I'll have no kids at home for a few hours a day.  :cheer:
And I've kind of promised the hubby will try again when he turns 30, so that gives me just over 3 years to change my mind several times and probably tell him that I'm too old when the time comes.  :P :P  :D :D

From the blurb it sounds an awful lot like some of the outtakes from EP.  :)

I've not had time to start DLMG yet, I'm gonna start it this w/end (before re-reading the Sempre series) as the hubby and the kids are going out for the day on Sunday so I should be able to get some proper reading in then.

  • Hi! I'm Ellachanted and I'm a fanfic-oholic.
Just as an FYI to all of you who use Calibre with FFDL - The name of the plugin has changed to FanFicFare.  Same plugin with a new name.  You will have to reinstall the new one.

Just a note, when I installed the new plugin, the old one uninstalled and the new one had all the settings and columns etc... so there was nothing to do other than move it to the position I like it on the menu bar.   ;D

Thanks Ella, that explains why it said that I needed to update but when I clicked on it the install button was grey'd out and had the same version number. When I clicked on the new name, everything installed and seems to work great.

I tried it with FFnet and TWCS and had no problems downloading.  So I think all is good.   :)


Eventually, I will try it with the other sites I regularly check out. Those are the two I download from the most.  FictionPad has a lot of great fics, but it is a pain to grab from because the Get all URLs from a page doesn't work.

I probably will jinx myself, but FFDL still works on my computer.  Then again, I'm running older versions of Calibre and FFDL.
One of the rare few....

I actually didn't try the old version first. So it doesn't surprise me it works. Not sure why the name change. But I figured I would try it Since someone was asking about it on FB.

  • Hi! I'm Ellachanted and I'm a fanfic-oholic.
Okay, did a little research and found this explanation for the change:

"Due to Google's recent decision to phase out code.google.com, the FFDL project code base is going to have to move to a new home (almost certainly github).

That makes now a good time to discuss changing the name from FanFictionDownLoader (FFDL) to something else.

The reason is because the current name is very generic and there's another program at/called fanfictiondownloader.net. More than once, we've had users of fanfictiondownloader.net come to us looking for support for the other program."

So no real actual change to the program. And? You don't have to change yet.  They are still working on it and supporting FFDL.  But it will probably be ready soon.

Ugh, I'm scared to change it, it's working fine for me on AO3, which is where I mostly use it.

I'll try it tomorrow, but I'm not worried. There's a lot of regulars to the ffdl thread that use AO3 so I'm sure it's been tested there. 

From what I understand it is the same program.  And FFDL is still available if you don't like it. ;)

Oh thats right you have insomnia, I on the other hand like my sleep very much, so the thought of going through sleep deprivation again is not one I relish, but the sweet baby that would come with it, is something else.

Teddy's secret and magical childhood is lost when a family heirloom is destroyed, changing his life forever. Now an adult, can Edward open himself back up to magic and love when he meets a beautiful - and hauntingly familiar - woman in real life?

These 2 by FoxxyJ aren't as well written (but only some spelling/grammar mistakes still good reads) by involve some supernatural elements (I think)

I've started watching the Outlander series on Starz and I'm really considering watching the rest of the series instead of reading it if they decide to make more seasons.   Have you guys heard if more are in the works?
