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

Thanks!!! I guess I'm still confused 
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! 

You really have to SCROLL, lol. LyricalKris is actually on page 2 of that thread reply #27, bottom of the post.

Given that it's alphabetical, in addition to the above, in general, you can use your browser's find function on a specfic web page.  The search function here also works well enough, but you need to do some digging.

YAY!! I saw comments and didn't keep going down, just thought it was a normal thread!

**HUGS**

Thanks yo

The How to with a Movie Star are by Redtini not LyricalKris.

And? There may not be recent stories that are still available on the web. We try not to fill the server with available stuff. 

I read Sempre first; again another one of those books I had no idea was fan fiction. Then I read EP (no obvious errors that I can remember) I preferred EP, but, if you can't read Perfect Wife because of the subject matter then EP won't be for you either. The story clarified how it came to be that Carlisle was a doctor and in the mob (though I can't remember it that was made clear in Sempre or EP) but organised crime has all sorts in its midst, doctors, lawyers, priests (!) It was also clarified why Bella wasn't 'tampered' with,

Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.

. I didn't come away from the story feeling unsatisfied with the plot or storyline because of inconsistencies and yes, the FF is pretty darn long but compared to some of the fics I've read since? It's worth the effort.

I did get Sempre, but haven't read it yet. Truthfully, I'm not sure how much of my dislike was the drawn out writing, the subject matter, or the fact it was Twilight characters that were so OOC that bothered me.  Sempre may be better for me because it's original characters. 

I do know I was about 100 to 150 pages in before I was done.  It wasn't my cup of tea I guess. 

I think I read about half of EP before I set it aside. It was just a looooong drawn out fic, with a lot of repetition. I always planned to go and read Sempre, I just haven't done so yet. One day. Right now I'm still stuck on Teen Wolf fic.

I'm reading For The Summer and am completely giddy over it!!  I feel like it's everything I like about a story all rolled up into one yummy package.    I'm at the summer that he just turned 16.   I'm glad this is a long fic so it won't be over too soon.   Can't remember who recommended this one first but I sure am glad you did!

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.

I read it as Sempre and REALLY liked it...  from what I've heard about the Perfect Wife, I think Sempre is much tamer.      I still haven't read Sempre Redemption.    I think the fic covers both Sempre and Sempre Redemption, right?    I really need to start that second book.

I'm actually rereading a Potter fic I love that completed in January. *shrug*  But I'd love to start something and EP has been in the back of my mind.  I'm also considering Written in the Stars by Lissa Bryan.

I *LOVED* Written In the Stars!! I thought it was a great read

For The Summer is so good. I come back to it every year, after the details have grown fuzzy and it's like reading a new story all over again. If camoozle ever decided to pull and publish, I'd buy it in a heartbeat and it would have a special place on my bookshelf. When I read it for the first time, I was so pleased to see a Bella that obviously adored Edward, but wasn't completely enamored with him to the point where she couldn't function without him. The way they come together every summer, and then life goes on for the rest of the year. They both had something to look forward to for the duration of the year. Of course it took place before cell phones and Facebook, which made long distance friendships even harder.

I just saw that there is an EPOV:

One of the reviews on goodreads says that you should wait til you find FTS before reading the EPOV. 

Welcome back Peonie!  And you're English is great!
So, is this one still a romance? even with depressed edward? LOL   And who is he married to?   (I'm an ExB girl, remember?)
Did you read Losing Hope immediately after reading Hopeless?   I read it much later and I think that made me enjoy Losing Hope all the more because I liked that some of it was repetitive as it reminded me of how much I loved their story.    I thought it was a great followup book.       And I enjoyed Finding Cinderella...    I didn't like it as much as Hopeless/FH, but I thought it was worth the read.  Kinda neat how it fit into the first books.     Speaking of Hoover, have you read the Slammed series yet?

Is For The Summer a schmexy fic? or is it mild on the lemons?
I think you've recommended Maggie Stiefvater to me before... I just moved her book, Shiver, up higher on my TBR list.  Glad to know you liked FTS too...  Looking forward to reading that one.  Sounds like my kinda thing!

Hahaha, I just wanted to point out the heavy UST in FTS, but then I saw you started to read already! Great choice! I devoured every word and it was the first fic after a long time where I didn't mind the length.
And I actually squealed and fangirled over the EPOV outtakes a few days ago. But I too think you should wait until you finished FTS until you read the EPOV outtakes. Makes the experience all the better.

I think you're right with the Hopeless series. I should have waited with reading Losing Hope. I read it immediately after Hopeless and I guess that did take away from enjoying it as much as Hopeless. I like it nonetheless to be in Holder's mind, but I skimmed a lot of the dialogue, because I still remembered from Hopeless.
I'm reading Finding Cinderella now and really like it. I doesn't add much to Hopeless and Losing Hope, but it's really a great addition. More funny than serious imho. And not too long.

After that I can finally finally start Pressed For Time!  I'm a little OCD with finishing series at the moment. I have to tie loose ends it seems.  There are a few series which I started and never caught up or finished and this is bothering me a lot atm.

I have not read the Slammed series yet and I'm not sure if I'm ready to start another series. See above.

I know I'm biased due to my love for this fic, but I've gotta agree with you hun if you can persevere it's definitely worth the effort. 
No you're spoiler applies to the fic as well. 

I did get Sempre, but haven't read it yet. Truthfully, I'm not sure how much of my dislike was the drawn out writing, the subject matter, or the fact it was Twilight characters that were so OOC that bothered me.  Sempre may be better for me because it's original characters.

I've gotta say that anyone who doesn't wanna read the fic but is still interested in reading the books do it.
The books have the exact same story as the fic but even with both the books combined they only come to about 600 pages so less than 1/2 the fic's length. 
With the heavy editng that's been done, there isn't the repetitiveness which happened in the fic either.   

Thank you girls!!! 

I've been out of the FF world for months ... Can you suggest me something new and good to read?
