Do you use the same name as an author that you do here?

I do. It's my handle everywhere except le Twitter.
I have learned that while it took me forever to update that I reallllllly need to fix the flow and some inconsistencies  *face palm*

How are you finding AWTFA? I hope it lived up to the amount of hype I gave it 

It is! Last few chapters to go and I'm really enjoying it, well written, very few SPaG issues, and am especially liking the mystery genre (one you don't often seem to get in Twilight fanfic) - although I have been wondering if Derdriu oFaolain pulled her stories to go write for The Vampire Diaires  . I see a lot of similarities between AWTFA's Edward and TVD's Damon, and now, ? Very similar.

And I'd quite like to know the answer to the BATB question too, if anyone has read it can you let us know whether the story can stand on it's own without the last 2 chapters? Actually did the author say it was going to be only 2 more or are we all guessing?

Well, I didn't actually see it...but you know how I like to stalk...

Also I'm in need of some advice; is the fact that I roll my eyes every time Edward kisses Bella proclaiming undying love after knowing her a week, a symptom that I might have Fic Fatigue?

No. It's a sign that there are some authors who don't spend enough time developing characters and just get all swept up in the "Twilight" of it all.

Although, you could try reading some John Grisham or James Patterson or Tom Clancy and see of that cures you.
Or report cards. Did I mention how much I love reading report cards? That would definitely cure any FFFatigue.

Hey! where has the poo smiley gone?!)

This one? It's still there. You just need to sniff it out...

I do

I thought so  . I've been watching yours for a while and saw that it very recently updated. I haven't read any of it yet (due to my aversion to WIPs).

I also don't "follow" on FFnet - I "favourite" any texts I watch in IE - so that if they are removed from FFnet, I know (they don't just vanish) and I can use my stalker skills to attempt to track them down.

Remember - Techtard.

I'm very jealous of anyone who can write fiction. Public speaking and debating have always been my strong points but anything creative - no way!

OK - next random question for everyone...

How did you come come up with your profile name?
Astro was my sister's dog (who I adopted when she moved to London) and he died (old age) in 2009.

See - not creative AT ALL!

*snort* I got mine from a P O R N site *grins* My first handle. I've had it since dial up internet started.

i remember that, she's a school teacher and her first novel was getting published she did not want the parent's of her students to find her FF rated M stories after finding out she was published. I'm pretty sure that was the reason.

For some reason, I have SydneyAlice stuck in my mind that said that.  But she is still posting M rated stories (which I am happy about) and she does state that she's published a book.  Roaming through the pages on PTS 2, I'm not finding it.  I was just curious.   

Oops, Astro answered, thank you also.

Thank you so much.

2amlovesick is a Blue October song that was playing when I was sucked into MOTU. It was playing at 2 am when I was reading about Bella walking out on Edward after the belt.  I was lovesick for the pair.

she was removing her stories rated M from FF because she wouldn't want her child to read them and I think she was a teacher?

Pffft! Everyone knows school teachers are a kinky bunch. 

Or is that just me again?

Thank you! I knew I should have waited - someone here would have been able to find an easier way to do this. I can't figure out how to add to/merge pdf file, without spending $ to buy some extra thing from Adobe.

Remember - techno-tard! 

Thank you all for your kind thoughts as well.It's been an emotional week but Grandma was 96 - a bloody good innings - and she can join Grandpa again. They would have celebrated their 75th anniversary this year.

I bought a scanner to organize my papers in which I'm drowning & it came with a full version of Adobe.  Helps a lot for stuff like this.

Does anyone remember the a/n re: she was removing her stories rated M from FF because she wouldn't want her child to read them and I think she was a teacher?

Sydney Alice wrote something like that but she wrote a YA novel & she didn't want her readers looking for other stuff she wrote & reading MA stuff.  & also her kids. 

She did pull all the more explicit stuff.  A lot of her stuff is pretty clean for a M rating. 

Naaah - just write it and share it with me. 

I won't tell anyone  .

Did I mention it's my birthday on Wednesday?

Teeeheeeee!!! I need to re read the last chapters but I'm sure I could do it justice

Great, I'm glad you're enjoying it! I've not watched VD for a couple of seasons so not sure where they are with the story but I do know that it is NOTHING like the books!

Slaves To The Moon has quite a good "mystery" element to the plot, I really enjoyed that story too, read it straight after AWTFA.

I really wish authors would learn the value of the term "slow boil" when it comes to plot development, sheesh! I have tons of non-FF on my iPad (I'll pass on the report cards) but I've just not read anything for ages, but I might have to take your advice and take a break.
My profile name is my middle name, so the creativity (if that is what it is) goes to my parents 

I bought a SHREDDER to organise my papers!

I find a good sturdy dustbin bag works just as well....

Eeep! I think I would have to get the ok from Durtynelly first? Not sure how to go about it *scratches head*

I think we should also start a rumour that you're going to finish her story (or that someone is), that might jolt her out of Lazyarsedom..

Pffft! Everyone knows school teachers are a kinky bunch. 

Or is that just me again?

Dearest Pervy (smiles indulgently) That's just YOU, again!

A shredder is the "slow boil" of organisation. 

"Thank you" just doesn't seem enough... 
So take this......and turn it around.
Or this... ...and raise the middle finger.

 

And you were their 42nd child? Because I know you weren't born in '42.

Oh God! You weren't born in 1942, were you? My father was born in '42 and to think of him reading Twilight Fanfic...

Oh Pervy! I do love ya!
No I wasn't born in 42, it's my door number! I'm not sure why I've included it in my profile name...odd: I've got rid of it now. I must of started this account at 04.32 GMT suffering from lack of sleep, like now!
