  • 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:

I have been to Forks, La Push, and Port Angeles. I stood in the same place where the cars were parked in Twilight when they went to La Push beach and where Taylor Lautner walked with Kristen Stewart. I took some stones as souvenirs. When I was there I stayed in a hotel in La Push. I went Forks High School and Forks Hospital. I didn't go in either one, I stood outside. There is a sign in the parking lot at Forks Hospital that says Dr. Cullen- Reserved Parking Only. I laughed when I saw it.  I saw Bella's red truck parked outside of the Forks Chamber of Commerce. I went to Forks Outfitters. There is a grocery store, hardware store, clothing store, and cafe in Forks Outfitters. I got some souvenirs at Forks Outfitters. I ate dinner at Bella Italia in Port Angeles on my second night. I had the mushroom ravioli. I liked it a lot. On my first night I ate at a Chinese restaurant in Forks. I also got some souvenirs at a Twilight store in Port Angeles. I went in December but I can't remember what year. It was very cold! I had to wear my down jacket. Especially on the beach because it was very windy as well.

 The beach scene in Twilight was filmed on La Push beach.

This is from Wikipedia:
Scenes were filmed primarily in Portland, Oregon.Instead of shooting at Forks High School itself, scenes taking place at the school were filmed at Kalama High School. and Madison High School. Other scenes were filmed in St. Helens and Hardwicke conducted some reshooting in Pasadena, California, in August.
It was filmed in Washington, Oregon, and Vancouver.

I'm trying, like we all are, to organize my fics and as you know that is a chore...genre, author, alpha...etc and then I'm thinking why bother? It's like a damn job!!
Anyway, i was asked this by my BFF and I'm passing on to you guys. What is the absolute best Fic you have ever read. Despite rating, genre or length, pick one that you just could not get enough of. Can you do it? I got my top 5 and I'm narrowing down as I type. I dare you, choose a Fic!!!

Easy - it's Virgins and Villians, no, maybe First and Ten? No, one of the Angel series.... Friday's at Noon? Oh and what about Tropic of Virgo or Hit by Destiny... 

Okay, not so easy.  I wouldn't be able to tell you a favorite. :)

It is a very hard thing to do and I would have to include some HP fics.   Nevertheless, one fic that has always stayed with me is The Trick is To Keep Breathing By McGee42. It's different, clever, sad, hopeful and beautifully written, a pleasure to read again and again.

I think I just might add Awkwardly Yours By Vancouver-Canuck-Girl to that list.  It has only the epi to go. You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login

This is why I only do a few at a time.  While watching TV. 

Right now I'm trying to fix the Google mess and put it on Copy. It's still on Google - don't worry.  I just accidentally moved some stuff to the Google drive rather than copying it.  Which totally messed up my regular Calibre library.  So I'm just going to add all the stuff to an empty library with no duplicates and then add my regular Calibre library with no duplicates and see what I come up with ;)

This should also clean up the mess I have with the extra stories that aren't actually in the library.  Because really? You must always move/copy stuff in the library or it never gets actually added.  And 8 GBs of files later, you have way too much unnecessary stuff and you start looking at 1.5 TB hard drives for your laptop.  I'm really thinking about getting it. Though I did some clean up and removed about 60 GBs off the drive. So it isn't quite as full as it was.    :P

This is funny because I think the only Nolebucgrl story I ever flounced was Taste of Innocence.  Though I may have almost finished it.  Edward's internal dialogue drove me crazy.  I liked Bella though.  She was definitely funny.  I've loved everything else by her.  She is definitely one of my top favorite writers.   ;D

Just show's you each to their own. I found Smugward hilarious esp., when Bella was putting him straight.   One of my all time favs is a non cannon The Quiet Room by  givemesomevamp, there is some heavy duty internal dialogue going on in that but boy is it good.  You are not allowed to view links.

There is no way I could do it!

I couldn't even pick a favourite author, let alone a fic.  :banghead:

I hate this question because it always messes with my head and I always get lost in remembering fics and trying to choose one. It's a spiral of thoughts!
My first thought was Transcendence by Shay Savage. And I leave at that for the moment, because I would probably not only list ten but 50 all-time-favorite fics. Just checked my Calibre: there are indeed 46 fics on my all-time-favorite list. Only fics I would re-read several times get on that list.

I'm doing like you Ellachanted. Watching TV and tidying up my Calibre besides. When I transfer fics to my reader, I make sure that the tags are tidied up, because I don't want to mess up my collections. All the other fics in my Calibre get tidied up slowly and only when I'm up for it. My focus is always on downloading fics as not to lose any of them. Sorting comes with time.

Wow, that is a really hard request! I would say that for me it would be the Gravity Series, but it is really hard to narrow it down. I mean I have over 500 favs on my ff.net profile alone! LOL.

FFDL seems to be down again, have those nasty people at FF.Net been at it again?

Ya the downloader in Calibre isn't working with ff.net but it worked for a story I just downloaded from twilighted.net, so I would guess that ff.net has been at it again.....gees they really need to get a life and leave us alone!!

They've done something to the date - it's now in words instead of MM/DD/YYYY and it's all back to front with no year for fics updates in 2013.

And I don't like it!!! I actually have to think when I'm checking my fic-stalk list instead of just clicking through looking at the month!  :'(

People are strange when it comes to baby bumps they think it's free-for-all.
I swear the next time I stranger tries to touch me, I'm just gonna start rubbing their stomach. Knowing my luck I'd get the town perv "Patsy" though.  :DLol, our town police loves me NOT!! I think I'm the reason they've all got jobs still.  :D
I wish I wore jackets in the winter cos I would I definitley be like you hun and cover bump up.
Even living in the UK I whinge that it's too hot.
I'm that weird person you see walking around in just jeans and t-shirt in the snow.  :o

If I didn't wear a coat, I'm sure an old lady on the street would tell me to put one on, that its not good for the baby.  I have had older women stop me on the street if they don't think my daughter is dressed warm enough, so I'm sure they would do the same for my bump.

It's based on your location, apparently:

Quote
Auto-Timezone For Displayed Date/Time  You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login

We have expanded the coverage of correctly displaying time and dates based a user’s time zone. The upgrade is now site-wide and includes stories and PMs with 100% coverage expected in a few days.

Changes
•Correctly displaying the time/date based on user’s timezone.
•Displayed time/date is adaptive/relative to the current time. If a story was published 10 minutes ago, it will show “10m ago” instead of a fixed month and day format.

I've tried changing my location to United States in ff.net setting but it still won't show what you're seeing, tricklem!

Where are you? Maybe I can trick ff.net into thinking I'm there!
