Ok folks, list em here. Fics that you have flounced, and why you flounced them. Help keep others apprised of the good, the bad, and the badly edited. :-*

I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

I'm always hesitant to rec fics now, I feel bad if people don't like them. Which is weird because it's not like I even wrote them  ::)

Good luck on picking a book!

The Quiet Room was brilliant but I know someone who flounced because of the confusing start.  All I can say is all becomes clearer as you read.  Enjoy.

I remember reading it and thinking it was okay, but I couldn't see what all the fuss was about.  There wasn't much of a story other than the sex.  And him keeping her panties. 
 ;)

I liked The Plan much better.  Okay, maybe that was about sex also.  :banghead: :grin:

The Office is about to be published. I read that it was re-written together with another author, I will wait for rewievs, if it is better than the orignal fic.The Plan is still on my very long to- read fic list.

I haven't bought the phone app yet.  I'm trying to figure out how to work it since my new computer is Windows 8 & I can only talk to my network drive when I'm connected to the network.  On Win 7, Seagate has a program that lets you access the network drive from anywhere.  But so far it doesn't work with Windows 8.  So putting my Calibre library there is a pain.

Which phone app do you have?

I have the calibre companion app

I've never worked w a Windows 8 system so I would have no clue how to make it all work. Are you having problems with the library itself on your new computer, or more accessing your content server from phone/tab?

That's so unfortunate that they flounced, that fic was amazing.

And no Edward bashing, Matron!

I travel for work a lot. So I got this network accessible drive that I could access anywhere using my computer but only if I had this program installed.  And it won't even load on my new Windows 8 computer.  *mumbles stupid glass of water and non-waterproof laptop mumble* So my grand plan of loading my Calibre library there went poof.  I can access the server from my phone but not my tablet.  Weird. 

Thanks for the app rec. I will try it. ;)

Yes, that is when she flounced.  I told her she was missing out but each to their own.

Fantastic! I restarted it this morning, after reading the dreadfully dark but totally awesome book That's What Brothers Do by Derekica Snake. (NOT Fanfic, I don't think although it was originally posted on adultff.net)

Yep, it's MM, not really romance, and about as far from happy as it gets. Even the happy ending didn't feel happy so much as right, if that makes sense.

And I'm reading a fluffy short to fill in the afternoon before I get to the dark stuff tonight.

So when I'm at home, I can access the drive via wifi because it is connected to my FIOS wifi thingy with a Cat5 cable.  So it shows up under the network.  But Seagate has this program that when you load it on your computer, you can access the network drive from anywhere.  So traveling with my Window 7 computer, I can get online, open the program & it connects through the internet to my drive at home.  It is supposed to allow you to back up from anywhere, but mostly I use it for music, movies and fanfiction.  My phone has a program that also allows me to access it, but it isn't available on my tablet. 

But without the program? I can't access my home network drive on the road.  And truthfully, there is little else to do in a hotel room at night but read or go online.  Or maybe update my Calibre library  ;)


I'm going to have to try this Bella/Jasper story.  I just can't see reading Bella/Jasper if Edward is around.  But no Edward? I could maybe see Jasper.  Just not Carlisle or Emmett.   :P

Thanks  :-*

Okay, question for you, when your're travelling do you have WiFi capabilities, at your hotel and such? Or is the only way you have access through your drive? (Im seriously sorry for being so thick with this, I obviously have no experience here lol). If you have access without your drive, the calibre app would grant you access to your library from your phone/tab. For some reason it will only work on WiFi vs on your network, but I really hope they change that so your library can be accessed with wifi or not. You probably already know all this lol.

I know you can also access your library via your browser with your IP addy, but I have never been able to get it to work that way.

I do hope you love the Quiet Room, you'll have to tell me what you think if you end up giving it a go.

And I cant do Emmett (forever brother role for me) or Carlisle (daddy! Lol) either.

I'm probably not explaining it well.  Right now, I have a Calibre library on my laptop and a Calibre library on my desktop.  I wanted to sync them, but the only way to do that would be to have the library on an external drive that I point the program to.  They currently are different libraries though they may have most of the same stories, I've only really been updating the one on my laptop for the last month or so. So my desktop version has a lot of empty columns and duplicate stories.  (I spent one evening clearing off all the duplicates.)  I have a portable drive I could use, but the Calibre guy recommends using a network drive, which I do have, and just sharing it with all the computers.  Wifi is not the issue - I know what you are thinking - syncing between devices and Calibre.  I just want to use my Calibre library on multiple computers.  Plus then my phone can read stuff on the drive without having my laptop on.

Sorry, it is a little confusing.  ;D

I started to read it.  I was wishing she had a plastic knife or fork when the pervy guy touched her.  I figured the past, as not wanting to be touched is a normal reaction after an attack.  But I'm only on the first chapter.  I got distracted when Jklly posted how to import your favs/alerts from ffnet into Excel on facebook.  Now I can actually track when stories disappear.  ;D

I have my caliber libraries linked to drop box and Google drive, and can access it anywhere I have the apps. It's easy.

Oooh, I gotcha now! I didn't know you were wanting to access your library from different computers and then syncing it all up. Thank you for explaining, I love anything with computers, gadgets and technology so it's cool to learn something new  :-*
