Sorry, should have said Winter Solstice for Northern Hemisphere.  Can you send a bit of sun over here?  The weather is miserable at the moment.

It's nasty here, as well. Cold, dreary, windy as hell and starting to snow.

ahhh, winter in the midwest.

Uhhhh I just had an author PM me on FF.net to promote her fic 

Is that normal and has it ever happened to anyone?

Annnd I just finished Bared to You.... ugh loved it. Now I'm on to Reflected in You

That is ODD, and would completely put me off. Especially since you're pretty strict on your E/B pairing

Would have made more sense if she contacted Caro on the other thread.

Exactly!

Wasn't it thought that Jamie McGuire's Beautiful Disaster was original a fic?

Yep. I bought an e-book version of it. Just checked that it is saying that the author is unknown. What happened?

I flounced it. I thought it was awful.

Edit: here and on ADF people said it was original.

I'm getting ready to flounce Reflected in You 

Eva is driving me nuts and I want to junk punch her. He goddamn insecurities and constant negativity 
I get that she's messed up and has issues, but the majority of the previous book Gideon had to shake some sense into her. Why O why can she not trust him??!!! Jesus! *huffs*

Oh, I was so with you on the flouncing. In fact, I set it aside for awhile and picked it back up. Just stick it out. The ending is better. I told you I wanted to slap the snot out of Eva.

Here was my review on goodreads.

If I had to write my review before the ending, it would have not been this high. In fact, I almost flounced, but after a couple of days away, I picked it back up.

The first 2/3's of the book were full of redundant childish behavior. Seriously does anyone in real life cry that much?

So what changed my mind with the rating? Again it is all Gideon. A complex man with studious drive that ensures he does whatever it takes. His words may be few at times, but they are profound.

I warned you that I read the books for Gideon. I do NOT like Eva.

Can I join too?  I keep getting the error message too and I am at least twice the age minimum. 

*on knees, bowing to the powers to be*

Done.  You have been warned. Lol

This method works for some PDFs.  Biggest problem with PDFs is that there are so many ways to make them.  If they are saved as a PDF in the form of "pictures" of the page, you can't convert.  At all.

The other problem I have is that a lot of the older PDFs have hard returns built into the PDF at the end of each line rather than wrap text with a hard return at the end of the paragraph.  If your set up is to add a line after every paragraph it really gets messy. 

And then there's the double L issue.  But it isn't consistent.   I found Storymaster created PDFs always lose the second L upon conversion.  But Flagfic converts fine. 

Was checking out various fanfic areas today and found this!

Wall banger
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Author: fictionpress1213 PM
Anastasia is a working woman. Fresh out of college, new apartment... and a new neighbor who constantly has loud sex! Who could this neighbor be?
 
It sounded so much like one I read before.  Only one chapter up and she has changed Bella/Anastasia from interior designer/college student but very similar.

imho: so wrong!

LOL! I now see what you are saying.  She is using FSoG & copying Wallbanger - probably not even Edward Wallbanger but the real fic. 

This IS wrong.  Sigh....

I actually pm'd her and she said she got the idea from a published book named Wallbanger by Alice Clayton and suggested that Edward Wallbanger was plagiarized.  I corrected her explaining that they are one and the same.  Now she says, she feels uncomfortable with her story since there are some FSoG fans who have read some E/B fics.   

Really, we may have read a few E/B fics?  ROFLMAO

Who knows where she goes from here.
