  • Hi! I'm Ellachanted and I'm a fanfic-oholic.
Thread #5 - We are crazy talkers here! Join in the fun!

ADULT DISCUSSION HERE, SO TRY TO KEEP IT CLEAN! UM NO, WAIT! IF YOU ARE EASILY OFFENDED, LOOK AWAY NOW! 

This is the new thread as the other was sooo long and had lots of pages. Continuation of our wonderful discussions on Twilight Fanfiction, Books, and Life in general.  But mostly Twilight fanfics... and life stuff that will get me a NOT ALLOWED statement. 

Okay, here is a place to discuss what you are reading, ask for recommendations and complain about the writing.

Everyone is entitled to an opinion, so please play nice   

Because we know drypen's watching    :googlyeyes:

Hey does anyone know if there is a way to tag or mark stories that you haven't read in Calibre?

I added a custom column with a yes/no function.

That sounds like a great idea. I added a custom column called Read? but how did you set this up to give you the option of yes or no?

Now you’re asking.  Go to change calibre behaviour under preferences, top row, third in is an icon which says “add your own columns”.  At the bottom of page is add column, click on that and it brings up another box with two lines.  Since I know nothing I typed read in on the first line and Read on the second.  I than used the down arrow to choose Yes/No.  I am sure there are better ways of doing this but that is how I did it.  Good luck.

I have an 4th gen iPod touch that should be similar to your iPhone and apple has an app called Neosoarbook. This program can read PDFs and EPUB but I find that the EPUB is tons easier to read than PDFs on smaller devices. I would recommend downloading Calibre, and once you have the EPUB of your story, you can add the story you want to read to Neosoarbook in iTunes. I find that it works great for me.

Thanks for the tip!! I love my Kindle App so I'm fine with using it! I just need something that will replace flagfic! I've downloaded calibre on my computer but I have no clue how to use it!! Lol once again thank you all for being so helpful!

I am new to Calibre myself, but there is a TON of info on it here and lots of other members that can answer questions you may have about it.

Options for downloading fanfiction from FFnet

It took me forever to learn how to comment!! I've alway used flag fic to download my fanfiction into PDF format so I can read on my Kindle app. Much to my dismay I can't do it anymore! Someone please help!! I need to know what I can use to download in PDF for my kindle app! Thanks in advance!! I will say I still want to use my kindle app, I'm not one for change! I can honestly say whoever can help I will be forever indebted to, I'm so devested flag fic is no longer working!
Hi! Sorry I wasn't around last night.  Matron is correct. If you are reading on a Kindle app you really want the mobi format.  That is Kindle's preferred format and it will allow you to adjust the size of the print, etc...  Matron also mentioned some mobile fanfiction reader apps - these actually download to your device but may not be easily transferred to another device. 

Okay, so options to Flagfic until he is able to fix the issue. If you don't want to use a computer to download stories or you don't have a computer available, these are your options.  I think they all will either download or email a story to you.  Please think about choosing mobi as your preferred format rather than PDF. 

You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login - He is a fairly nice guy who originally set this up for friends to use.  It got bigger.  He emails the files to you or to your kindle.  They may be in zip format if you get more than one story.  His system is also very slow - so don't expect it to show up for a couple of days.

You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login - This is the web version of the downloadable program that I usually suggest people get if they are just starting out.  It now only works with Kindle - which should be fine for you.  If you have a computer? Download this program.  It is available in both PC and Mac formats.  It will also tell you when you need to update it.  Always update the program or it gives you empty chapters.   The webversion is faster than storymaster.  You will get it the within 10 to 15 minutes.  It's just slower than Flagfic.  This maybe my first choice though of all of these.

You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login - you have to log into this one.  It is the web version of the fanfiction downloader plugin for Calibre.  It is also a little slow but you will get the story in 15 to 20 minutes, as with the one just above.  These are actually based on the same program, just different versions.  This one will get more than FFnet stuff.  But I rec using Flagfic for everything but FFnet because he is just so much easier and faster. 

If you have a computer though? I really recommend downloading fanfiction downloader.  It is just easier.

Hope this helps...  ;D

I need to continue this series, I read the firsts one and really enjoyed it, but I kinda suck these days at keeping up with series. Darned readers ADD!
I know what you mean.  I'm having trouble concentrating long enough to read a chapter at times.  Though I made myself sit and read the rest of Blood and Glory last night.  I had to turn the computer off. It was really great ending.  I will probably start the sequel today.  But I have a bunch of stuff to do, some of which I would really rather not do.  But I promised. :)

Just a reminder that while you can't use Flagfic on fanfiction.net right now, you can still use it on many other fanfiction sites.  I pulled a few stories off the Twilighted website yesterday using Flagfic.  Keep in mind though that sometimes Twilighted isn't as updated as fanfiction.net.  I had windows open for each site so that I could check that the number of chapters matched, and if they did then I downloaded from Twilighted using Flagfic.  Just another option for you.
Many of the Writers also post on TWCS You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login

Flagfic works there too!  Same issue though as Twilighted in that they are not always as quickly updated.  Though I think they are easier to post than Twilighted.  Something about a beta process.  :P

Fics on the Reportable offense list - part deux:-

Caro- Thank you so much for posting these!  I just highlight the post, copy, and select "Add URL's" in my Calibre plugin and it gets them all!  :-* :-* :-* :-*

And I'm always happy when I see I already have most of them.  Wait! Is that a bad thing? I like banned books or something?  :D :D :D :D

I don't really know what to say to this.  Are you trying to tell me that I'm not the gentle, patient, tolerant, wise, fun-loving, benevolent dictator that I think I am?
Bwhahahahahahaha!  We love you anyway!  :-* :-* :-* :-* :-*

No really, I didn't think it was an issue where she posted, but since Demaris put in for here? I didn't argue.  I do like that the 152 is just the looking for stories thread. It makes it much easier.  And until the stories were pulled? they could go anywhere....  ;D

Now see this is where I can help - are you a PC or Mac?  Although my instructions are for PC, they should work with a Mac. 

This is the link to the instructions on setting up a library with Calibre to use all the loveliness that is the fanfiction downloader plugin You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login

And? if you have a PC? Download this, unzip, and set it up as your library.  You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login 

If you decide to do this, let me know if you have any questions.  There are a number of us using Calibre now who are happy to help.  I read on my Kindle, so though I download in ePub to get all the great metadata? I change it to mobi for my Kindle.  If you have an iPad or iPhone, iBooks will read the ePubs.  But I understand being partial to the Kindle app.   ;D

Hey all,

I'm looking for this fanfiction whose name, for the life of me, I can't seem to remember. It was a completed fic I read several years ago on FF.net. What I remember is that it was set in Forks, where Edward and Bella are in high school. Bella was being abused by Charlie, who is a cop. When Edward finds out he tries to save her but she's not eighteen and stuff. I also seem to recall that once she's 18 Edward plans on taking her and running away, probably to get married or something but Carlisle sits him down and convinces him not to make rash decisions and not to rush marriage. I also seem to remember that Charlie wasn't a complete bastard and he had certain moments of clarity where he regretted hitting Bella. Also, Charlie and Bella were in an accident while in Charlie's cop car. It's not "And then there's you". I would be so, so grateful if someone could give me the name of this fic that eludes me so.

Thanks!!

In stead of hiding the p0rn, booze, and strippers we should see if fanficgirl brought any back with her on her holiday and if she wants to join the fun..... :djparty: :57: :57:

Hi, this thread is for recs and fanfic discussions.  If you are looking for a specific story? You would be better off posting on this thread: You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login

The ladies (and maybe gentlemen) over there are amazing at finding stories.  Though sometimes it takes a while...  Good Luck.  This story sounds like a few I have on my TBR list, but I haven't actually read any of them to know specifics.

I just had my first scare under the new regime. I couldn't find drotuno's sin & innocence anywhere but on ffn and since I don't have calibre...  But just when I was going to pull my hair out because I couldn't find it on that Polish site either, I found drotuno's blog and she posted PDFs there. Phew!

I finally, finally finished up justginger's People Like Us! I hate to say this, but I liked it! It was so, so, so long, but I really liked the journey of Edward and Bella. Believe it or not, if the sequel were complete, I would actually start reading it now. The writing is fair, and the SPaGs are pretty horrible at times, but the story itself is good. I'm curious enough to want to know what happened to these two and their family. I think someone on here rec'd her other story Hope Springs recently and I may give that a go after S&I.

I also found People Like Us enjoyable as I did Hope Springs. She has a sequel to People Like Us (cannot remember the name) it's a WIP though.

It's exactly like banned books and makes them all the more precious.   

Thanks for the calibre tip, I will do that in future. 

I am sorry I did not ask you first if I could publish the list here, frankly it did not occur to me but if it bothers you I can start another thread.   ^-^

Probably will be another year before it finishes.  I started to read People Like Us but she was slow updating - probably because her chapters were so long - and I lost interest.  Then I checked back to see where it was, and saw the BDSM stuff.  Really? not so much my thing.  It's still on my TBR list, but it moved down a bit.  I do like Actorward though.  :P

She does like to write long stories I think - so it may be a while before it's done... ;D
