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

Also loads of the reviews I've read say it's angsty, I suffered through more angst while eating a bowl of cereal than reading this so far. 

LOL!!!  I love it

I know that KA was picked up by a different publisher so you're probably right about the excessive descriptions.

I liked RC but kinda started to pull my hair out after about the 3rd one as they got a bit repeaty, though I do love Lee.
I think we all know on here that I FLOVE knight, but that's only cos of Knight and the whole "Daddy" thing. 
Deacon was alright but definitely not worth all the 5* reviews I saw. 

I'm reading Deacon now....Maybe because I'm reading these one after the other but I've never seen such repetition in a series...How is it all these heroes talk exactly the same? All this 'beauty' this and 'beauty' that, not as a characteristic but as an idea (very Aristotelian )  which is rather ironic considering they all speak in monosyllables, because, you know, to be macho you shouldn't be able to string a sentence. *Grunt* 'Woman. Here' *grunt, grunt*.  Honestly I think Knight was the best of the lot as a book but Creed was the best of the 'hero', so far...I've not finished Deacon.

I don't know why everyone is having such a hard time logging on to Twilighted.  Maybe it depends on how often you go there?  I usually get right in.   Every now and then (and I really need to write down the dates when it happens) I go in and need to login and I don't know if that is part of the program?   All you have to do Ella when you log in and it takes you to your account, just hit categories again.  The first couple of times it happened I kept thinking I had to do something with my account and and then I figured out that if I just hit categories, everything would be fine.   Log in and then to keep the automatic login going, try going in once a week and see if it keeps you on (or a couple of times a week) and see if you can beat the system that way.   I know you don't do the forums - I get in there most of the time there too but every now and then it won't let me in unless I log in (which leads me to believe its in the programming) and then it takes you back to where you wanted to be.

I don't have a problem logging in. My problem is that when I click on a link to a story someone recs there,  I get a message i I need to login. Fine.  Logged in. I still have no idea what story it was. Because instead of taking me to the link,  I'm on account settings. Categories will not help me find a story I don't know.  So I have to back key back to the link and hope Twilighted remembers me long enough for the link to work. 

Don't worry. I get just as frustrated with fictionpad as I do with Twilighted.  There stupid "show more" when searching that crashes after a few pages and makes you have to start all over. So annoying.   

Finally read this... Very interesting! I had no idea. I've yet to read an HP fic. I flove HP though!

Her story is uploaded here on PTS but in a rar format. It may have been before downloaders. It says it's complete but I didn't actually see the first story of the trilogy listed. It may be in the rar file. Might be worth reading.

I will agree with that somewhat. ADF is easy to navigate for stories. Not so easy for Campfires. But what I don't like is they all send stories via email to each other. Trying to get a copy is almost impossible.  Fortunately, I found PTS.

Yes, exactly! Trying to have conversation or jump in... Idk.. too annoying for me. The story part though I do like. That master category FF list is the only thing I have bookmarked

Yes!!! PTS saved my lonely, weary, TwiFic heart

Ignore the description. Read the story.  As an angst hoor, you will love Wisp.

I just started Cris's As Children After Play. I didn't want to read it based on the summary on ffnet. But she has a different summary on AO3 so I'm giving it a try.  And it is angsty but Cris writers good angst. She is judo_lin on AO3.

That As Children After Play sounds familiar though not sure if I've read it or if I've just been on her page too often as I waited for Wisp to complete  .....I'm quite interested to see where Fairy Godfather goes...

Please, can I just share.....

I put my hands to the ridges of his abs and slid them up his chest.
He stroked my cheek and dropped closer.
“You wanna clean up?” he asked quietly.
“Yeah,” I answered quietly too.
“Then shuteye or you wanna sit on my face?”
I blinked.
Then I squirmed.
His gaze heated as he muttered, “Sit on my face.”
“There it is,” I muttered back. “More happy.”
I saw the light in his eyes as he dropped even closer.
“Baby, that pussy on my mouth, your ass in my hands, the noises you make fillin’ the room, knowin’ I get to drive deep in your wet, tight c.unt while you’re still moanin’ for me. Then after I give it to you, and you give it to me, I get to bed down with you tucked tight. You don’t think that makes me happy, you’re fuckin’ crazy.”

  This passage made me shout/laugh so loud I woke Mr PA from a nap (he's just got back from NY) and I was asked to stop reading or go home...needless to say I'm on Tapatalk in the back of a black cab.... This is how Unfinished Heroes talk, apparently

NB: Even reading back the post for typos made me snort/giggle..

There are lots of CaraNo stories I like, but I was disappointed in this one.  I wanted an Edward/Bella story or even Edward/Bella/Anthony, but too much of this one focused on Carlisle and Anthony.  I know some of you ladies like slash, and I can tolerate a little of it, but this was more than I like.

But, for those of you who like slash and passed on this story because you thought it was Edward/Bella, you might want to give it a try.

It's been seven years since they were last united as a makeshift family. Seven years of fleeing their pasts, hiding their feelings, missing all of the pieces of their souls. The game that gave twin brothers Edward and Anthony their purpose will now help them reconcile their history and make their own futures. What does that mean for the girl caught in the middle?

I am not big on M/M, and I skimmed over the s*x scenes with A&C but I really liked the E&B part of the story.

ME TOOOOOO!!! I had the trailer on repeat when it was released! I FLUFFING FLOVE Kate Blanchet!! She'll always be the Queen to me

I can't wait!

Glad I'm not on my own with Bully as I know some of the girls on PTS have read it and the loved it and loads of the reviews are 5*.
Also loads of the reviews I've read say it's angsty, I suffered through more angst while eating a bowl of cereal than reading this so far. 

Wisp is definitely a must read, I think the only problem is that if people read it now while it's complete some  people might think it's a bit boring in places as not a lot happens in some of the chapters, but it is a brilliant read none the less. 

I know that KA was picked up by a different publisher so you're probably right about the excessive descriptions.

I liked RC but kinda started to pull my hair out after about the 3rd one as they got a bit repeaty, though I do love Lee.
I think we all know on here that I FLOVE knight, but that's only cos of Knight and the whole "Daddy" thing. 
Deacon was alright but definitely not worth all the 5* reviews I saw. 

I didn't really think Bully was angst... So much of it was just dumb high school type drama and I typically like high school stories.  I had just finished reading Hopeless and Sea of Tranquility when I read Bully so it didn't really stand a chance.     Have you guys read Sea of Tranquility? It was good.

I've only read a little blurb about Wisp and it sounded maybe like Bella is mentally disabled or something?   Not sure how you can make a romance out of that.   Hmm. I guess its possible this isn't a romance, but isn't all fanfic sort of a romance?

I think we've talked about KA before and how you liked the daddy thing! haha    Makes me giggle. 

I'm reading Deacon now....Maybe because I'm reading these one after the other but I've never seen such repetition in a series...How is it all these heroes talk exactly the same? All this 'beauty' this and 'beauty' that, not as a characteristic but as an idea (very Aristotelian )  which is rather ironic considering they all speak in monosyllables, because, you know, to be macho you shouldn't be able to string a sentence. *Grunt* 'Woman. Here' *grunt, grunt*.  Honestly I think Knight was the best of the lot as a book but Creed was the best of the 'hero', so far...I've not finished Deacon.

The repetition thing is the only problem I have with the Fantasyland series...  all of the female characters seem so much alike and often say the same things etc from book to book.   Same goes for the heroes.  All very similar to each other!  Despite all that I still loved books 1-3 a ton just because of the fantasy aspect!  I haven't ever read a schmexy fairytale before!

Ignore the description. Read the story.  As an angst hoor, you will love Wisp.

Angsty, huh?  Like Dusty?   Now that you've raised the angst flag you've got me interested!

I really loved KA when I first started reading her, and Sweet Dreams remains a favorite that I reread a lot. But her latter books have been just lacking to me. I hated Knight and so never read any more in that series. Actually, I think the last book I read of hers was the one about Shy and Tab, the first Chaos book. I tried to read the one about Ham (and seriously? Ham??) but got bored, and haven't picked up a book of hers since, I just read reviews.

I got tired of the way ALL the male characters sound the exact same. Same words, same cadence, same attitude.
