Hey all,

just wanted to add that on ff.net it is possible to sort by the # of reviews, follows and favorites. Just go the usual way (Books - Twilight) and then, on the left, there is a box labelled "Sort: Update Date". Click there and you will be able to sort by publish date, number of reviews, favorites and follows. I've attached a screenshot to prove it

I'm also one of those who have learned the hard way that the # of reviews doesn't say anything about the quality of the writing (in both Twilight and Harry Potter fandom). Still, I sometimes use this for fun. The sad thing is that if I sort by # of favorites, there are only four stories on the first two pages that never made it to my tbr list.

Wow. Never knew that. Thanks for sharing that nugget of information. Still think that sorting by favourites and reviews is mostly a useless exercise though. You end up missing so many great fics and blindly reading so many crap ones this way....

Honestly I am torn between responding in a way that encourages us to continue down this crazy road or just shutting up so that we can pretend to have some semblance of a normal functioning brain; guess which won out? 

Posting the picture does not give you first dibs, so there! 

 

*blows raspberry*
*flips the bird*
*throws self down on the ground kicking and screaming "MINE! MINE! MINE!*

and then maturely says good night because I have a big day tomorrow - watching a horse race on TV, flushing money down the toilet and drinking copius amounts of bubbly. 

Oh, and teaching all day too 

Finally finished the last of Lolashoe's trilogy. If I haven't said it strongly enough then I'll reiterate. READ it NOW! Let Your Light Shine is the best but the other two stories are really worth reading also. Lolashoes takes Myers' creations and knocks them out the ball park...every one of them is better under her penmanship..I don't tend to read vamp twifics for some reason, maybe because my introduction to fandom was via a AH story and I've carried on in the same vein but I've so enjoyed this that I'm going to start another Vamp twific next....not sure which yet but, whatever!

I just started the second book last night and I'm loving it! 
I agree with you completely...  can't believe how much better the story compared to the originals!   

Thanks for the link too! I got the other two that are listed there by LolaShoes.   

I finished Golden Moon last night, and adored it. I think it's the first fic I've read that kept the same FEEL that the original trilogy had. It had that sense of innocence of first love that I've been searching for. It's like she took Meyer's world and just went deeper. The characters were still very much who they were in the original stories, with the exception of Alice.

Does anyone know if the author ever wrote that Mike story mentioned at the end? There's not much on her FF profile other than stuff about plagiarism, and nothing updated since around 2010. Is she another one that just stopped, or does she have a blog somewhere I could follow?

With all the talk about those Lolashoes stories, I might have to stick my nose out of my Jasper fog and give them a shot. I just realized last night that I have yet to read a single fic with Vamp Edward as the main love interest? All my Edward stories have been human, and my vamp stories have all been Jasper ones.

LOL! Soon your TBR list will be as long and as unusable as the rest of ours 
Oops! I mean Yay!!!!

My TBR list is endless!! Not to mention unmanagable... I keep notes about fics on notepads, on my phone, on my laptop, on almost every surface And at the end of the day, I still come back here for reccomendations. It's simply impossible to remember everything...

   I'm afraid mine is already out of control... I've sent a ton of fics to my Kindle and then when I look at them all I have no idea what to read next.   Then I see more recommendations on here and add more.  LOL   I think fanfic might be slightly addicting!

    So, Golden Moon is a Jasper fic, right?  I am still new to this fanfic stuff so I'm sticking to Vamp Edward for a while longer.   You should definitely check out LolaShoes trilogy!  I felt the same way about it as you did about Golden Moon...   the same feel as the books!  Edward still had that old world charm and their relationship was very new to them both.

Yep, it's a Jasper fic, and, IMO, would be the perfect "starter fic" to try out a story about these two. It was very well done, and I felt the evolution of their romance was very natural.

Has anyone who's read Golden Moon read Lacrimosa Moon's "continuation" story, Searching For Daylight? I'm curious if it has the same feel, if it's a worthy follow up? (and for the love of God, are their any lemons? that's my ONLY complaint about GM, no lemons!)

I'm REALLY going to have to figure out a better way to keep track of things. Just yesterday, I was searching through lists on FF.net, adding stories. I read the first chapter of several fics that looked good, but like an idiot, I didn't think to mark the ones I was most interested in.

Well, you know what they say -

Big feet...big socks! >:D

Big feet....big...shoes..Notting Hill one of my absolute favourite of all time.
