  • 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:

Me too. I tried to update an in-progress story from FF.net and tried to download one for TWCS just in case it was ff.net issue again and it didn't work.

Mine only updated FictionPad all the others I received a 'NonType' object has no attribute 'find' error.

That is the same error that I got. I looked in the configuration of the plugin to see if I could find where that error was coming from, but with no luck.

Ok, so I closed Calibre and then re-opened it and then tried to download my story from TWCS and it worked, still no luck with updating from my story on ff.net.




Well, I am off to bed, so I will chat with you all in the morning.

Calibre ff downloader stop working for anyone else?
yeah, I put a message on the FFDL user group page.  Hopefully someone will make a fix quickly.  I think FFnet may be blocking them again.  It looks like the same error message from last time...

Hopefully, they won't be as nice as Steve.  >:D

There was a new udate for the calibre ffdl a few hours ago. But it still doesn't work with ff.net...  :(

But they are good at tweaking the program so that it works around all the hurdles the ff.net staff builds all the time...  ;) :D

How are you doing Booked?  I was looking at the pictures and it is awful.  I don't normally watch the news so I never really know what's going on out there....

I was just wondering the same thing...   I just read that they are estimating 10,000 people have died in just that one city.    So very sad.   I also don't watch the news! I'd rather have my head hidden in a book pretending like nothing bad ever happens.

Booked, even I have heard about the mass devastation that happened over there. Glad you are ok.

It is indeed quite a devastating catastrophe. I don't want to watch the news anymore bec it is really heartbreaking to see parents carrying the dead bodies of their children, or for anyone crying as they saw the body of their dead loved one.  :( :'(

We are all saying here that it is good Manilla was not hit bec if the capital suffered the same devastation, aid to those other provinces will be further delayed. As it is, you hear the usual cry for help, complaints of delayed aid that causes some desperate people to start looting :(

All i can pray is that the affected people get all the help they need so that they can start the healing and recovery.

I have a bitch. My tablet glitched out on me, which means I had to do a factory reset, which means all the fic I had loaded onto my tablet is gone and will have to be reloaded. I mean, I still have it all on my computer and in my clouds, but I don't remember what all I had on there. I add stuff that I hope to read soon, and remove as I read it.

Rats!

I asked about a week ago if something was going on with Calibre but Astro told me it was working for her. I haven't been able to download anything for a while.

Calibre worked for me on fictionpad and TWCS but I am getting the same error message for ff.net.

ff.net was working for me on Calibre on the weekend, but I did get an error message for fictionpad on the weekend!

I must be getting cynical in my old age - it was sweet and all, and even made me tear up a little, but I would absolutely hate that to happen to me!

That is so frustrating indeed. I don't know if my "system" will be of help to you but here it goes....
I download everything using my ipad. I try to sync it at least 2 times a month with my PC. When i copy to my PC, i sort the books in itunes accdg to date so i know which ones are already in my PC. Have not undertaken any sorting in my PC except for the date i got it. I therefore have 3 Fanfic folders in my PC: 2012, 2013 and Done.
 
When i read on my ipad, i move it to my ipad library called "done". So next time i sync it, i delete it from my ipad, itunes and i move my PC copy to my "done" folder in my PC. I also update my excel file which contains my Done fics. This is why i know i've only read 266 twifics as of today...only a bazillion more to go  :-\

In the event my ipad crashes, i will at least know to only put in those in my 2012 and 2013 folders bec those are the ones i haven't read yet.  :) but if my ipad crashes before i sync, well i wouldn't know for shite the recent ones i downloaded. I will just not let that bug me bec i still have bazillion more to read...and am sure if it was good and worth reading, someone here might rec that again in the future  :)

For real books, i have the same no. of PC folders. I use goodreads to keep track of my read/done list. GR allows you to export your library to an excel file so i also have that as a back up to know those i've read. Unfortunately, i don't add to my GR "to read" list which would be ideal to know what books i have on my PC in case it crashes. For some reason, knowing exactly how many more i have to read adds to my "stress".  :P

Well, do have fun in restoring your reading list on your tablet!  :-*

Yeah, me too. I actually sat here, watching it and shouting: "Could you fix her dress a bit better before marrying?"  ^-^
But it was sweet and so mean, poor girl swam in her tears through the whole thing...

Was that wedding legal?

There was just another plugin update, and this time it worked.  Was a little slower, but I'm not complaining.

One of the guys who helps with the updates said he could write a program that would basically hack through all the crap FFN does.  But the guy who writes it said he didn't want to do it if he didn't have to.

Okay I just used the update and it is working.  I'll attach it if you want to fix it yourself.  You have to be able to access hidden files in the User/Username/Appdata/Roaming/Calibre/Plugins file.   

Or you can wait for the regular update  ;D

Oh and just keep it zipped.  For some reason, Calibre likes zipped files....  ;D

LOL! He usually posts the update on the user forum anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours before the update shows up for me in Calibre.  But it is better to get it from the Calibre thing.  Much less work.

So, after a long cold walk with lanterns and my first cups of mulled wine (St. Martin festival at the kindergarten), I just finished:

The Daily Grind by LetMeSign (in the index)

A cute, fluffy, coffee flavored B/E romance, where Bella and Edward are very normal people. But it takes them up to 70% of the story to finally (finally!) consumate their relationship and everything that goes wrong before is just too funny...  :D

Now I'm starting Resident Geek by cdunbar:

Resident Geek
By: cdunbar PM
Geeky Edward thinks he has absolutely no shot with the popular, beautiful Bella. Is he right, or will she be one of the many girls who thinks geeks make for better lovers? M for language, sexuality, and some underage drinking. A little OOC...ok, a lot OOC
Rated: Fiction M - English - Humor - Edward, Bella - Chapters: 22 - Words: 95,911 - Reviews: 5,400 - Favs: 6,125 - Follows: 5,126 - Updated: 12-13-11 - Published: 08-30-08 - Status: Complete - id: 4509651

It's one of my favorite Geekwards (and you know I just love Geekward, he reminds me soo much of my hubby...)!

What are you all reading today?  :-*
