  • 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:

Arrrggggh!!!! Don't get me started on Catastrophia's Me and Mr. Cullen.

She's one of the reasons I don't do WIPs. I even PMd her and told me it will only be a few more chapters till the end...that was over a year ago  :pulling :pulling

Just finished Bared to You by Sylvia Day. I can see why everyone loves Gideon Cross, but my lord, Eva is seriously one of the most annoying characters I've read in a long time! She throws a hissy fit every other chapter and flees the scene, like a game of hide and go seek. I'm trying to understand her character, but every time she puts her foot down about something and tries to get her point across, Gideon was up her butt and refused to give her any alone time and it's okay~ because what she really wants is comfort.

Oh yes, that bugged me too, Eva did NOT know how to talk and resolve anything, her solution was always to run.

Having once said dariachenowith's brand of BDSM makes my eyes water, she is still a fine author, just read The Elusive Mr Cullen.  Anyway she has announced she will have an original work under the name Kira Barker published on 12 August.  Should be interesting

Hmmm.....I wasn't that impressed with Date, I'm hoping she got better....

I read Bared after FSOG and quite frankly after Anna any female heroine would have been an improvement, so I rather liked her, yeah she ran but some of Gideon's initial behaviours were rather incomprehensible.....I think she tried to give as good as she got but I know I've left an argument rather than lobe a plate at my partner's head plenty of times, sometimes its better to remove yourself, calm and revisit.  :D :D

If I remember right, Maggie out takes were stories written as part of a challenge by the author of how to take down Edward's ex-girlfriend.

I flounced Date, and was surprised when there were multiple sequels. I agree, I wasn't that impressed.

Well, I called them outtakes, but really it was a contest of one shots on killing off/getting rid of the Maggie character that was causing so many problems. Similar to the Kill Carlisle contest based on Savage's Offsides. The author shows as Down Maggie Down.  Some are hilarious. Some are good revenge types and a few were just okay.

OK, see? Still makes no sense to me as I've had Me and Mr Cullen on alert forever but have never bothered to start reading it; WIPhobia....but that's fine, I assume Maggie is part of the plot so I won't ask about anything further.... :P

Oh good! I thought is was just me in regards to Date, and are you as gobsmacked as me with the thought that she's P2P?! Going by Date I'm just...well flabbergasted and rather annoyed?

"gobsmacked" - perfect work for it!!!  :D :D

There are a lot of P2P stories that have left me flabbergasted and annoyed. I could add perplexed too.   ???

I am considering downloading Emancipation Proclamation by Kharizzmatik, still not sure I will read it, but while I am doing a major update of my calibre library, I am considering it.  I avoided it for a while and I can't remember why, is there a reason to continue avoiding it (other than the length) like the Perfect Wife reason (haven't read that, thanks to this forum telling me what it is about)?  Also are all the outtakes worth it?  Or should I just get the published version?  Thanks.

Sidenote - I just figured out/got the plugin to deDRM the free kindle books I have so now I can put them on my kobo too finally, made me very happy.  (Only 2 books, but enjoying the feeling of accomplishment)

I was wondering the same thing.  So many outtakes.

I FLOVE EP, but you don't need to read all the outtakes as some of them just seemed to be quite self indulgent.
I probably would suggest reading the published books as it's half the length of the fic and the same story, not leaving any of the important stuff out.  :)

Every single copy of Emancipation Proclamation I've downloaded seems like it had some glitch to the original copy, because words are spaced out, random numbers are thrown in and the grammar is off. Sometimes Isabella is spelled, Isabella, then in the next sentence it's Isabela.

I think I'd probably go with the published version of this story, just hoping that the author did some heavy editing. That's wishful thinking on my part though. EP, is one of the few "big" Twifics that I was never able to get in to. I think the plot is interesting, but from what I've read it seemed like the execution was very juvenile, not to mention how awkward the writing is. It shifts from Third to First person POV and the dialogue made me cringe.

Does anyone know anything about the author? Are they younger? The heavy subject matter seems like something a teenager would romanticize and write about: a human trafficking love story.

Edit: now you've got me reading through my copy and completely forgot how quickly this story sends me into a rage. Constant contradictions! Earlier in the story Isabella asks Carlisle why he bought a slave instead of hiring a maid or cook, and he tells her that he's SOOOOO involved with organize crime that he can't have any people hired that could be potential witnesses to his crimes. So obviously he has to have a slave to do his house work. Because being caught with a child you BOUGHT doesn't carry a heavy fine?

Then this
Quote
“Happy 18th birthday,” he said. I looked at him and cocked an eyebrow. He smiled. “I can’t have a minor working in my home, child labor laws and al that. Merely a precaution."

....... Too paranoid to have people on your payroll, but pretends to sympathize with child labor laws. I can't.

The copies I've read never had any errors (random numbers etc), but then again there's so many copies floating around you just never know.

Like I say I really do love EP, but the published versions are probably best to be read rather than the fic as it's under gone heavy editing, meaning that there is less repeated dialogue etc in the different POV's.  :)
As for J.M. Darhower, I've searched but can't find her age, she's not old but she's definitely not one of the "younger" fic writers out there (if that makes sense).  :)

  • Hi! I'm Ellachanted and I'm a fanfic-oholic.
I flounced EP out of boredom. Or maybe it was annoyance. A doctor in the mob. There are illegal drugs and alcohol in the basement that the kids think is okay to bring out for parties. Bella is a slave, yet still a virgin? 

None of it makes much sense to me. And I didn't like the characters much.

I do however have an okay version that was originally a doc that I converted to mobi. Pretty much all the PDFs wouldn't convert. So I know what you mean.

I don't see LyricalKris on the list, so how do you find the fics? I tried the "search" tool but it didn't really help, and google is making me want to throw my laptop against the wall and burn it!  8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8)
