I thought of another reason I've closed a fic before... when I see A/N's in the middle of a chapter. For example I've seen some even recently that they were going on in their story and then they felt the need to put parentheses and put an A/N right there in the middle of the paragraph to explain what they meant. If they feel like they need to explain what they meant I think they should go back and re-write that paragraph until it doesn't need explanation or word it a different way. As far as I'm concerned if you need to explain things in an A/N before or after a chapter go ahead but, don't put it in the middle of a paragraph. It breaks my attention on what is going on in the chapter and I can't get back into what I was reading in the first place after that. 

On another note, I did get through Illegal Contact tonight. It ended up being a cute story. I was happy to see the HEA and was able to look past all the baby this and honey that. It didn't seem to be too bad after the first couple of chapters of them getting together, which I was happy to see.  Overall, I think I'd recommend this story to anyone who wanted to read a E/B HEA fic.

I don't think I have come across the AN IN a chapter before, but unless the fic was otherwise really good, that would probably make me flounce too. Like you said, if the author has to explain a scene in the middle of it, they didn't write it right.

I just read a story where the author put an AN just after a cliffhanger scene, like "I totally wanted to stop here but I'm not that mean"
 >:(

She could as well have stopped, because the reading flow was interrupted...  >:(

It's freaking unbelievable that this story has so many reviews.
Bella is 16, Edward is 19.
When the story begins it's september 19th 1871. Then next day Bella is married to Edward and it's september 20th 1871. After 2 months Bella is 2 months pregnant and it's JULY! Not december but JULY. In next chapter Bella is still 2 months pregnant but it's december now.  Bella gives a birth to a child in june 1882! (eleven years after being pregnant). and Edward is 21 not 20 or even 19.
Carlisle is Lord and Esme is Lady and the have no servants. They open the doors and they dress themselves. I thought that women need help with dresses and corsets and hairs.
When Bella arrives to the Cullens Esme opens the doors for her and she is taking her to her room and she tells her to take her clothes off and that she has to go to the bathroom so she can take bath. Of course Esme helps her with bath. Then on the day of her wedding Esme and Alice helps her with clother and Alice who is Edward's cousin and who I assume she is an upper-class made dress for Bella and then she helps Esme with dressing Bella and with her hair and she even has curling iron!
Next thing I loved was when Edward walked out of the steaming bathroom after shower in 1872.
Of course after wedding Edward and Bella lives in a house in Esme and Carlisle's garden. Ok...
Alice is engaged to Jasper Whitlock who then out of nowhere becomes Hale.
Rosalie is the same age as Bella (16) and 5 years ago she was courted by James. Who the eff courts 11 yo child?!
In 1873 or 1883 (I don't know what year it is anymore) Edward knows he will be send as a doctor to war because Germany want to start a war. I thought that WWI started in 1914 not 1872. Then she said that it's not WWI: "Okay, so this is a fake war. It IS NOT WORLD WAR ONE, I just picked a random country, that was next to one which spoke French so that I could use my French in the future if needed..." Sorry but she sounds like an idiot writing about war against Germany and then she writes it's fake war.  First she faked war because she wanted to show us her great French and in the next chapter she writes: "I apologise for my bad French" Sorry but this author is really dumb!
Charlie Swan was a policeman and Renee was a lady and they were married. They arranged married between Edward and Bella when they were kids. How someone from upper-class with a lot of money can be a policeman?
There was a trial for James because he wanted to rape Bella and 5 years earlier he killed Charlie Swan who was a policeman. When James courted Rosalie (11 yo) he took her for a walk in the night and her parents went to the bed and she walked in the night alone with James and he tried to rape her but out of nowhere there was Charlie who tried to save her and she run away and James killed Charlie. When Rose was back at home it was night and everyone was asleep so she didn't say anyone that James wanted to rape her. Really?
During the trial James is accused of trying to rape Bella and Rosalie and for killing Charlie but only Bella and Edward testify and Renee who is effing bipolar and who appeard in this story for the first time. If he was accused of trying to rape Rose then why she didn't testify but Renee?
The sex sceens are like from stories from the present. The things they do... :D
There is more inconsistencies with dates and facts but it's really not worth place on this thread.
Sorry if I spoiled this story for someone who wanted to read it but please don't waste your time on this story. It's simply not worth it. There is more better stories out there.

PS. I'm sorry for my shitty english.

Things that can make me flounce.....

I hate when an author makes Bella or Edward look different from how they are described in the books, like Bella with blue eyes.  If it is mentioned once, I just try to forget it, but if it said often - I quit. I think some authors use this as a way to project themselves or the objects of their desires into the story.


Too many cutesy names and their overuse.  One that I have ignored many times because of a good story, but that makes my skin crawl is "Baby Girl" in fics where Bella is barely legal and Edward is over 30 (or 40) - it sounds like a father talking to a daughter and screams pedophile not loving partner in a relationship.  I have even pointed it out in PMs to the authors, but I must be the only one feeling icked out by it (or the only one saying it).
I hate when they change how they look.  It makes me think they wrote an original story, no one would read it, so they changed the names to Bella and Edward, etc....  So annoying. I don't want Bella to have blue eyes.  Nor Edward for that matter.  Green or Topaz.  There was one that had both Edward and Bella with black eyes.  Just reading the description? It was a Jacob/Leah story.  I never made it passed the first chapter.

I also agree with the cutsey names.  "Baby girl" drives me crazy - especially when everyone in the Cullen family calls her that.  My other name hate is Emmett being "brother bear" when he isn't a vampire.  I get it when he likes to kill bears - in the book Edward describes his hunting style as bear-like.  So it makes sense.  But then? When he's human? No.  It's just annoying.   Though I will continue to read if this is the only annoying thing....  ;D

I agree, there are too many "vamp traits" that they keep in AH stories, and it drives me nuts. Like I have read a couple of human ones where Jake was still hot, not as in attractive, but hot to the touch.

Jasper called Bella Baby Girl in the last fic I read, but that didn't bother me. It reminds me of Morgan and Garcia on Criminal Minds. ^-^  It's everyone suddenly calling each other brother and sister, or the Cullens' overzealously calling Bella their daughter that drives me frickin' insane. I can see the Cullens calling each other that, as they have been together so long, and Jasper and Peter and Charlotte, because they were made together and escaped together, but how they start calling Bella "sis" so fast, it just irritates me.

It doesn't bother me in that type of a relationship but when Edward is 15 or 20 years older than Bella and they are going at it on every surface - it is a little too daddy/daughter like. ICK!

Another thing that can make me flounce, when the author mixes up all the names - Edward is Swan, Bella is Cullen or when they can't make up their minds on Hale or Whitlock and flip flop throughout the story.

I really hate it when a fic uses the same character name for 2 different characters. I mean come on! There are lots of original character names to pick from.

It's freaking unbelievable that this story has so many reviews.

I remember flouncing this. I skipped large chunks of every chapter only getting the main idea from each and trying to finish it, but I flounced when I reached the James part of the story. I've read worst, but yeah, it was pretty bad, the plot was all over the place.

I really miss when it was easier to find a Fic you couldn't stop reading.  Lately, I am flouncing more than reading and losing my patience with all the great authors that hooked us with regular updates and disappeared some with no word, others with promises of completion.

I am feeling very frustrated today, not even in the mood to re-read old favorites.  It stinks, my house is quiet so I could read in peace and I have nothing interesting to read.

Jasper called Bella Baby Girl in the last fic I read, but that didn't bother me. It reminds me of Morgan and Garcia on Criminal Minds. ^-^  It's everyone suddenly calling each other brother and sister, or the Cullens' overzealously calling Bella their daughter that drives me frickin' insane. I can see the Cullens calling each other that, as they have been together so long, and Jasper and Peter and Charlotte, because they were made together and escaped together, but how they start calling Bella "sis" so fast, it just irritates me.
Although if Emmett calls Bella sis to irritate Edward? I get that.  And I like Criminal Minds. Derek and Penelope are made for each other. :D

It doesn't bother me in that type of a relationship but when Edward is 15 or 20 years older than Bella and they are going at it on every surface - it is a little too daddy/daughter like. ICK!

Another thing that can make me flounce, when the author mixes up all the names - Edward is Swan, Bella is Cullen or when they can't make up their minds on Hale or Whitlock and flip flop throughout the story.
Um isn't Edward like 100 years older than Bella in the original??   :D :D :D

Edward to me should never call her baby girl.  Now other family members like Emmett or Esme? Yeah, don't like but I can deal.  And I know what you mean about last names. Edward has 2 perfectly good ones to use. He is not a Swan. And I guess when it takes 6 months to update a story, remembering what last name you used is a problem :-\

Jewel in the Crown by Helena Mira

The concept is good.  The following is the blurb: "Edward accepted Aro's offer to join the Volturi when he goes to them asking to be killed? What does this mean for Bella and the other Cullens? And what about Charlie and everyone back in Forks? Can there be a happily ever after for anyone?"

But the writing is a bit off or something.  She also likes to change points of view chapter to chapter but doesn't say who's point of view she's using for the chapter.  I guess it makes sense once the chapter gets going, but I just found it unreadable for some reason.  Maybe I'll give it a go when it's complete, but for now I'll leave it.
One of the rare few....

Love and a Big Green Bag by Red Koolaid


Essentially - Bella meets Edward on a plane.  She's coming back from a business trip and is married, he's an actor.   Their plane develops problems and they have to land in New Brunswick (or Nova Scotia - at this point I can't remember).   They have to spend a night in a hotel which gets taken over by terrorists.  They end up together and start an affair, manage to escape the hotel, and then go their separate ways but exchange phone numbers.  She keeps in touch and finds she's unhappy in her marriage.  The fic had the misfortune to get posted at about the same time as Kristen had her fling with Rupert and Rob dumped her.   I made it to about chapter 6 and found I couldn't continue reading a fic with Bella cheating.   Probably a dumb reason to flounce a fic.

I tried to read this but I can't seem to make past the 3rd chapter...to me the story just doesn't make much sense, I just can't get into the story. Has anyone read this story? Will it get better or should I just not waste my time and flounce it?

I read this and liked it. But Bella was questioning her marriage before she met Edward. So it made some sense to me. But I also read it fairly recently. I also don't picture Kristen as Bella. But can understand why you might not like it.
