Yep - that's what I mean - you need to go away feeling that at least life goes on.

I still hope for another "something" for Dusty though - not an outtake...maybe a futuretake?

You all probably know that TeamBella23 is now MaryElizabeth23 and is writing a new fic - Pick Up Truck You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login

Yep! And it's one my the WIPs that I'm actually reading.  So far, so good.  A total, entangled mess.

That is what the fuss is about.  Thanks!

The bitch in me wants to say that people need to harden the duck up - don't chuck a sook because  someone says something about you that you don't like - just ignore the duckers!

But the real me knows how horribly cruel people can be, just for the sake of being cruel, and those sort of people would never be so disrespectful to your face, because they really know, deep inside, that you have done the best you can for them. But they still bitch and criticise because it's makes them feel better about themselves and their small-minded world.

How very brave we all can be when we don't have to take responsibility for our actions!

End rant.  :-*

It's authors like this that make me want to test the limits of my WIPhobia.

But then the anxiety starts, the hives appear, the heart starts palpitating...and I just don't think I could do it!

What if she doesn't update? What is someone gives a nasty review and she gets the shits and abandons?  ???

Lauren - This is for you.
Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.
I haven't read Dusty so I can't speak for that ending, but I think it's all down to personal preference. I've gotten quite used to having all loose ends tied by the end of a fic, so when that doesn't happen I feel all out of sorts.

Why! Why!


Why spend 4 years writing a fic, finally finish it, and then pull it before anyone who is not in the same time zone and wants a little sleep in on a Sunday morning can read it?

 :pulling

Am I smelling another P2P here? Not that I have a problem with P2P at all, but there is a right way and a wrong way to treat your readers!

This is why I hate time zones! :-\

Good thing I grabbed the fic before the author pulled it, the horder in me saw it completed and dl it, sadly I left it at my laptop at home, right now at my brother's house   :P

It's sad when an author takes down a story, I mean I understand that it's theirs but still if you put it up it is to share with the world an accept that there will be people who love your story or people who just don't like it

So there's a name for it! WIPhobia! Again, I realize it's not just me! I can't do WIPs. Then again, I can't watch single tele shows either. I need to record at least 2 or 3 to watch at a time--and skip the commercials.

And now the people who like the story can't comment.  :(

I know sometimes I wonder if it's worth following some fics because there is always the probability that the author MAY not finish it, but still I give them the benefit of believing that they will finish it, although I've been disapointed on more then one occasion but still if the fic is good I'll keep them on alert, until further notice

And I wrote something similar on the 152 thread LOL!

I hardly follow any at all any more.  And the ones I'm following?  I mostly forget them because they take too long to update. 

So I haven't started any new ones for that reason.  And then something will grab me.  LOL!  :banghead:

I found this thanks to Astro who posted the link for TeamBela23 new fic, and she has a new name which I didn't know.

This is so funny I'm about halfway through and I can't stop laughing! And I like it because I'm a Coca Cola addict too, not as much as Bella but I love a coke with Ice !

And it's FUNNY.

I don't know if you'll find it in a dictionary - I kinda like to think I invented the name, and until it's proven otherwise, I'll take credit/full responsibility for it!

My case of WIPhobia is so severe that I have now taken to downloading entire seasons of TV shows and then waiting for the next season to complete before I start watching it!

I am on the third ep of Revenge - 39 to go and I'm all caught up!  :-[ I'm trying hard to catch up on The Vampire Diaries this week - I just finished Ep 14 of 24 for the current season that just ended.

That is, provided my hard drive doesn't die again - major heartfail last weekend here when that happened! But a mad scramble and I'm almost back to where I was, although horrified that no-one else in my real life had copied Vikings or Spartacus so I have to get them again.

And I now have a backup hard drive, and a backup backup!

Have I mentioned that I might also be OCD?

Um, "chuck a sook"??   :D :D :D :D


How does the rest of the world function without phrases such as this!

It's nice to know that Australians have evolved into a higher level of verbal communication!

There are 3760 references to this term on google!

Chuck a sook = to sulk

I'd rather read The Real Life of E.A Masen,  I loved it. And I read Faking it a long time ago I don't even remember it, is it the one where Bella is in a band?
   I'll read that one next then...  I've heard a  lot of people loved it!

I love almost everything by spanglemaker9.  The Wedding Party is still one of my very favorite fics.  I enjoyed Faking It, as well, and just re-read it a month or 2 ago.
Thanks for the tip on The Wedding Party.   I was about to go search for some of her fics.  Her writing is really great!

I loved this story.  I read it back before she removed all her stories.   

And then started posting again.

She had some great stories.  Though I still haven't read Closer.  :-[

It's funny how a hard drive crash - in my case it was a crash with the ground - makes you start to collect hard drives and fill them with duplicate stuff.  You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login

I may have 10 or 12 now.  Though the small notebook ones? Yeah, those are really great and small.
