my recent flounce  Your Life Can Change in a Moment

Author: coloradoperson  PM
Bella didn't like surprises. Her life was safe, predictable and she knew what to expect until fate brought her breast cancer and everything changed. This is not a tragedy; it's a story about love and hope..because that's what life is all about.

This story is about breast cancer. but just because subject is good doesnt mean story is good too.  :sign0135: i wonder what was that people talking about this fic?? characters doesnt have  any delpth. Everything  is rushed & poorly executed.

Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.

AGAIN another good plot wasted with lack of imagination & writing skill of author . :thumbsdown:

I liked Help Wanted for some reason.  But then I read almost anything Actorward and have only flounced a few.  Well, if they appear to be written by a teenager? I'm out. 

But this one was fine.  I don't think it was very angsty.  Which I know makes a lot of you flounce.  I just liked the Edward and Bella wasn't too wimpy like in some stories.

So, if you flounced it halfway through? not much after that.
Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.

I think you´ve made my point, though!

There are many good, entertaining stories with a bit of a plot and much comfort and last but not least good lemons.
I enjoy reading them and like to give the authors the chance to wrap everything up, especially if it starts out promising. Thats why this case affected me so much.

Maybe I can´t resist picking up once again....

If I decide after one or two chapters to quit reading the story, it doesn´t count as flouncing IMHO.

I actually enjoyed this one. It's been a while since I read. It wasn't a masterpiece or anything.

But I flounced her other fic at last.

1. At Last » reviews
Edward comes from wealth and all that that implies. His future is already written by his grandfather as it is for all the Cullen men. He has the right friends, attends the right schools, and he will marry the right woman. He always did what was expected of him and accepted it all without question until he met Bella, a student working her way through school, and everything changed.

It started out really interesting. Then she killed the story.

She had a good plot premise. Then it became a cliche. And I don't think I could really forgive this Edward.

I don't expect fanfiction to be Nobel prize winners, you know?

So I can let go a bit of grammar and spelling mistakes (as long as it is not too much). I actually have a bigger problem with plot twists.

Some fics are just ok, and I have no problem with it, writing fanfiction is a hobby to most people so I can't expect it to be perfect.

That doesn't mean I won't say some fics are just horrible.

Sounds like a mamsutra plotline-Perhaps Not to Be.  Thanks for the heads up.

I enjoyed Your Life Can Change In A Moment for its hope of overcoming loss and hurt but mostly for the way she fought cancer.

I started reading fics because it was an easy way to practice my English as it is not my mother tongue. After finding sooo many spelling errors in various stories I realized that it will have opposite effect - spoiling my English.  :ohcrap:

Yeah my mother tongue isn't English either. I mean I make mistakes here and there but nothing so major and it gets easier as time passes by. I guess or want to think that the author's first language isn't english but still you have spell check. USE IT! Please  :pulling

LOL! I rarely flounce a story.  However, I do have ADD  and  Wait! was that a rabbit?  :bunny: :bunny:

Um what were we talking about?

LOL! Oh yes, I get distracted easily.  I will be reading something that is slow or too fluffy or just not what I'm in the mood for...and someone will rec something, next thing I know I've read four other stories and a one-shot or two & what was that story I was reading?  :bunny: :bunny:

So although I don't "flounce" per se, I definitely don't finish everything I start.  That is for sure....

And someday? If I remember what it was? I will probably finish it.  ;D

Sorry, I misunderstood.... 

But really? Fanfiction is probably not the best way to learn proper English.  Nor are those cheap self-published Amazon kindle books.  I've found tons of spelling and grammar errors in those as well.  Actually, pleasing and whales are both properly spelled words.  They are just incorrectly used.  So she probably has spell check but not grammar check. 

And I think you are doing exceedingly well at it since I can't speak another language to save my life.  Okay, well I can say a few things in French & a couple of Russian, Spanish and German words.  But I could never read in another language. So I for one am very impressed with all of you who do... :-*

Well? England/Great Britain....  I know, I know.... Though really?  I always thought it was a part of England, kind of like Puerto Rico is a part of the US. 

Wait! are you now going to tell me Cornwall is also a separate country too? *shakes head*

I really should have paid more attention in Geography I guess.  Not that it matters, When I compare the globe from when I was in school and the globe now? Yeah, half these "countries" didn't exist. 

Okay, just checked out the map 

What's really weird to me is that I always thought Wales was below England, not to the side.   Obviously, my geography teachers did not do there jobs...at all!

Probably all those Harlequins that made Wales seem like a region of England didn't help either!

It's a common mistake, but it's not in England. It is one of the countries forming both the UK and Great Britain, though. Think of the US - Louisiana and Texas are two different entities but they're both constituent parts of the USA, the same way England and Wales are of the UK. My Geographical knowledge is pretty poor, too, but if you heard the Welsh accent you'd understand why English people don't want to have that association :D

Oh and a fun fact - there are crazy people in Cornwall who wish to be their own country. It won't ever happen but once every few years it'll get a headline or two.

It's funny in school, they always talk about Great Britain being England & Scotland and a bunch of islands all over the place that the Queen mostly set free years ago... But never Wales. 

Though I've heard about the accent  ;D

Aahhhh, so Cornwall is the British version of the state of Texas in the US  :D :D :D

This is how little I know about the UK

I just now learned that UK isn't synonymous with England and Great Britain. To me, one country, all the same  :o

Now I know differently! Thank you for that lovely map, now I also know where some of the guests from Graham Norton come from  :D
