  • Hi! I'm Ellachanted and I'm a fanfic-oholic.
Thread #6 - 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:

Nothing major, but thought I'd pass this on:
For anyone that uses the Spoiler Button and noticed a slight change in it.
Mr A has modified it so that it no longer spreads across the width of the post :)
and
you can label it any wordage you wish eg

instead of  this  - note the word "spoiler" is the default wordage
Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.

Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.

the length of the bar will be as long as the text you write between the  =  and the ] after the label

Code: You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login
[spoiler=write your message here ] write the text you want hidden here [/spoiler]
Note: you cannot use any codes such as bold or font ect within the label, just plain text 

Also you may have to hit Ctrl+F5 to reset your view (should be a once off event) * I had to do this for mine to work*

Here's just one example of what you can do with the new spoiler option:
Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.

I feel really stupid,  I don't know how to insert a spoiler button. ???

Just write etc whatever you want to be hidden then highlight it and then click on sp

For example:
[spoiler ]    Hello  /spoiler]
when using the spoiler:
Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.

Hope this makes sense  ^-^ :-* :-*

  • Hi! I'm Ellachanted and I'm a fanfic-oholic.
Just an FYI, there's a rumor going around FB that there is going to be a big pull this weekend on FFnet. 

I'm starting to notice a pattern here that happens during the summer.  Do you think maybe they are trying to remove stuff under the guise of getting rid of stories not in compliance with the TOS just to empty server space and save money?  It seems to happen every summer when the kids who write other types of fanfics that no one reads have time to explore.

I've been traveling the last couple weeks and haven't done my normal updates of WIPs, so hopefully, I don't lose any.   :-\

Did anyone ever confirm whether this story was a repost or plagiarised from someone else? I can't remember which one of you ladies  was asking asking about it....Anyway its completed now...

Really? You lurked for a year? That is really hard to imagine. Still, I can remember when Astro came out of the lurking cupboard :D :D.  I never lurked, I came to ask for a fic on 152 and that, as they say, was that! You couldn't shut me up!  :D  :D

LOL! I think I lasted about a week before making a post. 

But I lurk a lot.  Somedays I just like to see what everyone else is talking about.  And? I'm a bit of a slow reader at times.  :P

Some of you go through so many books and stories at a time and so fast, I'm really kind of envious.   ;D

They probably have a ton of unpaid interns with nothing to do.  :'(

Maybe this year they will focus on another fandom and leave us alone.  Yeah right!

I'm not too worried.  They usually grab the ones with a lot of reviews and I have most of them that are complete.  It's the ones without a lot of reviews that are older that I'm not sure I have.  And I might be missing some good ones.  :(

Last year they hit almost every fandom, so it wasn't personal. HP got hit badly too.

Re: converting pdfs

Does anyone know any tricks for converting pdfs to epub when the normal calibre conversion results in an epub of crazy characters?  I also tried convertfiles, but it kept saying an error occured.

 I am trying to convert the pdf of hwimsey's The Lost Boys from the index.

Some of the older pdfs are hard or impossible to convert because of the way they were created.  I think they were, in essence, a picture or scan, rather than a conversion from one format to another.  You might see if you can convert it to a word document, do any necessary clean up, then convert to epub.

Or read the published revision, I read both (by accident) they are practically identical.

The writer was quite adamant about that it was her story, not plagiarized. Everybody who thought otherwise got yelled at, beaten into submission and was considered "disgusting" for their audacity. You know, the usual facebook drama.
There were people that could predict the plot before she published it, but actually, there wasn't a lot of "newness" in the first chapters, so it could just be a déjà-vu.  ;)

I saved a version of it to an html file.  Calibre will convert that to an epub without a problem. 

I'm not sure if I'm using the same version you are though. And my Calibre is currently running downloads, so I have to wait to try converting it.

I also always select Enable heuristic processing? Blanking on the actual wording.  the Heuristic thing.  Enable it.  I have less errors when I do this.  But Ficfangirl is right as far as some are not convertible. I'll post this to the 152 once I convert it.

It didn't create a linked TOC for some reason.  And I don't really have time to figure out how to do it right now.  Though if anyone wants to try, the html version will be in a zip file in my google drive by tomorrow sometime.  ;)
