Sins of My Past
Author: content1  PM
Bella was left by Edward to clean up the ruins of her life after his betrayal. What happens when Edward finds out that not all was as it seems. What are the consequences of his sins and what will he do to get her back?

I heard  lot about this fic before but recently in other thread some one mentioned it so  tried.Needless to say after 4 chapter i flounced it. infact if you read in 1st paragraph  of second chapter ,You can easily say that writing of this story is completely immuture & stupid & unrealisitcs.  Characters are so unnatural that i dont have words.

And yet, as you noted, there are plenty of people who appreciate this fic, me being one of the thousands. I thoroughly enjoyed this fic and eagerly awaited each and every chapter. Unlike you, I felt that the story came together at a good pace and Bella put Edward through some good tests before getting back together with him (And, honestly, it's listed as a Bella/Edward fic, did you think they were not going to get back together and that his child should be withheld from him and his family?). I also loved the daughter character Carlie and found her to be a very believable and likeable character. Are all 14 year old girls airheads and idiots now? Surely there is room for a mature and intelligent girl in the ficdom. And if there isn't, there should be.

I felt that there was much in the story to like (Edward's true and honest regret and sorrow for his heinous behavior being the most important for me) and I certainly overlooked the parts that I didn't. Unlike the other stories being mentioned in this thread, I just wanted to give a vote of confidence for this particular story.

Thanks and carry on with the flouncing.

Oh, wow! Another story I want to defend. Although this story is very much in its infancy, I am loving it!!!!! PattyRose is genius at everything -- plot, characterization, setting, etc. Her half-Latina Bella is so intriguing to me and for once, I can identify with a "Twilight" character. I'm Latina, too! Although not Puerto Rican like this Bella, I'm able to feel a bit of what she feels, experience a bit of her experience and share in a love of the language that means so much to me even though I don't speak it on a daily basis.

By all means, flounce if you don't feel it, but don't dismiss it out of hand because of Bella's ethnicity (if you can get beyond it). It's still PattyRose and it's still a Bella and Edward story and I know I'm going to get one hell of a story when it's all said and done. Vaya con Dios, y'all!

Yes, I started this one w-a-y back and just left. Can't even remember why now. So it must have been a real stink-o.

I'm not saying I'd flounce on original story b.c of ethnicity, I have no problem reading any fic about a different ethnicity BUT... BELLA isn't Latin. So this is too far of a stretch for me.  I'm simply saying that I have issue when an author makes a main fan fiction character something/someone they are not.  So, I wouldn't read a Bella that is an Alien, Purple, Blue, Orange, Black, Pink, Indian etc.  Bella was a very pale Caucasian.  By changing her ethnicity you are changing the character and at that point it is no longer Twilight fan fiction to me, it is an original fiction with the Twilight names.

I thought the whole point of this thread was to be able to say why we flounce and what we have flounced, not to feel the need to defend our choice to flounce?  Not for others to get upset at our choices.

Pretty sure this has already been touched upon, but nothing makes me wanna hit the back button faster than reading something  that has children featured and the author is spelling everything phonetically.  I'm reading something where "Mister" is "Mistuh" and "Elevaytuh" for an elevator. It's SO distracting. I work with kids and have my own younger siblings for comparison and don't ever have to deal with that. No Pwease or Sowwie. I feel like it would make sense just to touch on their tone of voice instead of trying to draw out the cute factor. Otherwise I just think these kids have a speech impediment.
