  • 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:

Posting link just to see if it's clickable, can someone check for me? If it works, I'll put it in my sig, and probably move the stuff from Copy if you can't do it the same way. All the PDFs I've never converted are in Copy.

I have a question about posting fics. We've always posted fics here that were pulled, and just posted links to fics that were still up on FF.net. I was just wondering if, since FLAG and most of the fanfiction downloaders are being blocked now, if it would be permissible to post fics from ff.net here now, if someone requests them and we have them?

Also, can someone please post how to make my fanfic folders in Google Drive and Copy public so I can share the links here in my sig like others have done?

Well, there are alternatives to Flag and so far, when they've been blocked, it's only been for a short period.  There's a thread on fanfict alley with Flag alternatives although I believe all of them have been listed here or on the 152 thread.

I think if we allow fics that are available on other sites, we'll end up with a lot of WIPs as people ask for things at different times, which is what was happening before.  So as long as other fic grabbers still work, there is no need to change the policy.

I'm unsharing long enough to edit some stuff, then I'll reshare. I had no idea that when I edited the metada in calibre it moved the frickin file to the trash, so I'm restoring the missing files before resharing.

ETA: It should be open again, but if any authors or titles are wrong, it's because of how Drive handles edits on Calibre, still trying to figure that out.

Copy should work too, is it?

PRECISELY!!! It's like anything really - you have to try before you buy or read in this case.  :D 

Exactly

:DLol, that so sounds like my 2 eldest brothers feet - they stunk and they would be really mean and hide their socks somewhere in my room so I couldn't find them and even if I had the window open they still stunk up the room.
Once my eldest brother put his socks in my pillow case, I had to throw the pillow and case away as the smell wouldn't come out.  :sign0137: :sign0137: :sign0137:


OMG you poor girl, I am retching just thinking about it.

My computer has been working on opening Copy for about 20 minutes.  I assume it's because the file is large, but it may be a fail.  I'll keep an eye on it.

I do kind of wonder if google drive was really meant for hoarders like us.  I always feel like I'm overwhelming its capabilities.

Copy worked for me the second time, I just had to insist when my computer wanted to give up.  But it loaded after about 5 minutes.

DO NOT USE GOOGLE DRIVE FOR YOUR CALIBRE LIBRARY!!!!
LOL! Was that emphathetic enough?  It totally messed up my Calibre library.  I now copy to the Google Drive or really, save to the Google drive like it was an external drive.  Google renames files and messes up the Calibre database.  I lost a bunch of metadata also.  Total mess.  Thank goodness for back up libraries.

And it's great for back up and sharing.   ;D

The copy folder is around 4gb, I think. I'm still working on the Drive folder, so if it goes in and out, just be patient. There will still probably some messed up author names, but I'll keep editing it.

So I'm figuring out! But my dropbox doesn't have room, Copy is a pain in the arse, and I don't think there's enough room in my sugarsync either.

How are you doing yours, with saving it in one place then backing up and sharing in Drive?

Off topic....Anyone read  N.M. Silver's Law of attraction? It is hilarious!!! A really good read. The court room cases are so funny....I'd never seen a six pack before without the name Budweiser  attached..Couldn't find a Fic to sink my teeth into so I decided to read a real book. Anyway, off to read Home Court Advantage, the sequel.
Have a good week, all.

Yes, I have a full library on my C drive and then in the Google drive.  And then I backed up to my second hard drive.  I also have it in my Copy folder because Copy will work with Calibre.  But I can't get the Copy drive to work.  I try to open it and it shows the Calibre library folder, but the online one just hangs there and doesn't seem to want to open for me.  It is very frustrating!

I normally download in my full library, then copy to my other Calibre back up libraries (second drive/Copy) and then I so "Save to disc" and it saves it to the google drive on my computer.  Then it should sync to google.  Somehow though, I'm not sure it is always copying....
