I've been desperate for something good to read, so I started reading an older completed Fic and loved it for the first 12 or so chapters....then it went in a direction I totally hated, so I had to flounce.

I am truly sick of the "antibiotics made my birth control ineffective" plot turn, but it was the lies Bella told after that I just couldn't get over.  It totally ruined the story and didn't make the story better.

Oops forgot to tell you the name of the Fic...

This is on my TBR, I'm definitely pushing it down the list now.
I hate when the author says that Bella fell pregnant cos she's on antibiotics, I mean haven't they ever heard of condoms.  >:( :banghead: :banghead: Or actually any other form of contraception that can be used while on antibiotics.

The excuse was she was sick and so tired/overwhelmed with finals that she didn't read he warnings that came with the antibiotics.  In the story Edward has issues and is going away to deal with them and she doesn't want to tell him, I could see it all going south so I read the reviews for the next chapter and when I saw they were going to say the baby was his brother Emmett's - I regretted the time invested getting hooked on the story.

I think I will go back to rereading my favorites.

I flounced Swim Tadpole, Swim by Scarlettplay for similar reason. There Bella is 35 and Edward is 19, they start dating and sleeping together and they don’t use any protection. Edward I think believes that she’s on the pill and she just “going to see her doctor one of these days” for a prescription. This goes on for two weeks. They are very active I must say – 3-4 rounds a day.

So then – surprise! – she gets pregnant and dumps Edward pretending that she is back with Jake, her former husband. She says that she doesn’t want to ruin his life with unplanned child and he is so young and so on. But all this really looks ridiculous because you stop seeing any logic behind these characters’ actions.

I hate it when the author makes Bella pregnant and then makes her come up with some ridiculous lie/reason about why she has to leave Edward while pregnant, where in reality there really is none if they were to actually talk to each other.  >:( >:(

I'm having a flounce or not flounce moment on a Harry Potter fic. This thing is mostly well written, but LONG. Like, over 600k words long. Now, the couple is finally together, but there's still several hours of story yet, so I can only imagine it's just a bunch of nonsense manufactured to drag the story out. I want to know how it ends, but I'm not sure if I'm up to what the author is about to put me and the characters through. But I've already read for days!   

I'm sure I'll end up finishing it, I just needed to vent and ask what others would do.

If you really can't handle it, then flounce. I mean is a good enough story to keep reading? If not just move on.  But I'm curious as to what fic.  And HP long is a whole different animal than Twilight long, as I'm sure you're aware.
One of the rare few....

I know, and I've read longer. It's good, but these guys went through so much to finally get together, and now they finally are together, not sure if I'm up for artificial angst to split them up. An ex just came back on the scene, why? To cause problems. Wasn't anonymity, mistaken identity, one knowing more than the other, the other finally figuring it out only for the first guy to get amnesia enough?  they finally get it together and an ex shows up?

Oh, it's called Per Solum lacuna by Azure and Wintermoon. They come together through these enchanted journals, falling in love with each other and not knowing who each other is.

See,  you shouldn't really ask me because I have no problem reading the last couple chapters to see how it ends and whether it's worth reading the rest.  I've been known to read books backwards by chapter. But not often.  I should try that with EP as I flounced out of boredom 100 pages in and never got to the good parts.  :P

So I read Once Bitten, Twice Shy by Cereuleanblur.

It was interesting at first. The it got more and more ragged. Then it abruptly ended. Like it Flounced itself. Blech 8)

LOL the second to last chapter, where things seem to be going tits up, is over 48k words. Then 27k for the last chapter, and a 12k word epi. I don't even know where to start skimming and peeking!

Wow. That's a story in itself. Yeah. Okay. Read the epi to get your HEA and run away. LOL!  ;D

I'm finishing it up, I figure, I read 500K words, might as well push on through. But it's just what I expected, huge misunderstandings leading to one running away, and so on and so on. I do admit to a bit of skimming though.

I really do love the type of story this started out as though. I love the whole anonymous pen pals, personal adds, match makers, and what not type of stories. Stories where they fall in love with the real person, and not who they thought they knew.

I just came across a fic where the author had the guy lose his "confidents". It was at the end of a really short story, so I didn't flounce, I just had to share.

So his um friends? left him?  Or he forgot them somewhere?  They usually call someone you tell your secrets to a "confident"  And I guess the guy could have more than one?

Though I have to say, sometimes the misused words make me laugh so much.  Other times they really ruin the flow of the story because my brain keeps wanting to make the word work as written and it just doesn't.  Or it changes the whole meaning of what the story should have been. Sigh.  You get what you pay for in fanfiction LOL!  ;D

 Dying To Heal
By: Minerva77
With a haunting past and a heart filled with fear, Bella had reached the end of her rope, "It was a moment of desperation. A moment of seeking after a drastic change, even if that meant dying for the sake of healing." It was while staring in the face of death, Bella discovers, not all angels have wings. When earth collides with heaven, truth emerges, and freedom is sure to follow.

Thank you!!! One story less on my tbr list.
I don't think it should be rated spiritual/romance. Maybe drama/angst but not the one she used.
