I adore Books and adore CC. It was truly one of the most imaginative stories I have read. And the twists and turns and connections are amazing. It was VERY wordy, and you'll think Edward is an idiot at some point, but all is resolved. Give it a chance!!

This is an awesome thread, and I am glad I found it. Thank you Rubydee for recommending this site. This thread has been an interesting read. It's been enlightening to find out why people flounce a story, even a popular one. Oh hell, who am I kidding, especially a popular one... I can not wait to see more posts to this thread.

In my case, I mostly flounce a story because I start playing with a new plot bunny and by the time I'm ready to share a rabbit, I've forgotten about the story... shameful, I know. But it is what it is, does what it does, and takes what it takes, right?

I'm interested to know if anyone has flounced, Through the lenz, Focal Point, or Home, not Home, Home...and if you have, why? I already know that there is a lot wrong with Through the lenz. I do, however, plan to go back and FIX IT and believe that your positive input will help.

Sorry! I should have done that earlier.

Lol... That is an awesome way of putting it, Tidy it up a bit, lol. and that is what I plan to do.

 I found more and more I did not like about it as I wrote Focal Point and had to keep referring back to TTL to make sure that the important points lined up. I also noticed that readers that reviewed in the beginning, stopped and I don't know if they ever came back.

 I was overwhelmed with trying to write, have it beta'd and posting all at the same time. It was my third or forth attempt at writing a complete fic that wasn't junk. (I left my junk up as a reminder of how far I have come after not writing for almost 20+years) or leaving a story on hiatus because I lost the story.

 It's easy when everyone is saying great job loved it blah blah blah, but until someone comes forward, like Babylopez did, it's hard to fix it.

Does that make sense?

I am glad that you enjoyed it and found it different enough to read even though it was cannon. That tells me I did something right.

I read the story.   The author may plan on doing a sequel but that doesn't mean she will.  I have two fics on Twilighted that I read - One was a Rob fic called Days Like This.  She was going to write the sequel but a) she had writer's block and it wasn't coming out the way she wanted and b) she had a baby in March which has basically kept her away from writing.   The other was Love Is Always an option.  She was planning on a sequel also (Bella and Edward) but never did it(or she did but not on Twilighted).   If I'd flounced both of them I would have missed two really good fics.   or the fic may simply get pulled for whatever reason and you would lose out that way.  or - in the case of another fic (and I am having a senior moment and can't remember the title) - the author died of cancer - she finished the fic but never got around to the rest of the outtakes she was planning on.   Did I answer the question or did I misread it?

I have a question. Yes I know, another one, lol. If you know that a story is going to have a sequel, or find out it will have one, do you read it, flounce when you find out, or wait till it's completed to read, and or flounce?
