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

FFn has deliberately blocked Flag from working, and I think one of the other grabbers too. I know some of the FF authors have started to post their stories on FictionPad as well as FFn. This is a new fan fiction site and still in it's early stages, but I know OTB, who formed Free Writers and Readers is helping the guys to set it up and Flag still works on there.

If you want to check it out, this is my profile link to the site and there are some of the big names posting there...Ooza, She Viking, Jonesn, Hoodfabulous, just to name a few. (Any authors reading this might like to know you can migrate your fics and ff profile in just a click or two, it was easy.)

I have posted my stories on Fictionpad as well. I plan on posting my next story there first and then post on FF.net a week later. We shall see how it goes.

I posted Compulsion on there after my other stories were migrated, it was fairly straightforward.   

I just updated and tried again.. still nothing from Fanfiction.....

It must be something on your end, because I just used the downloader in Calibre on a story from ff.net and it worked fine for me.

Oh my lord……  Um, yeah, um….. WOW!       *I just had VERY dirty thoughts*

definitely not alone on the dirty thoughts....

hello Ladies,  I am back      I hope all is well.  I missed everyone I tried to read up on all that i missed but i could just not do it all in one sitting so it will have to be done in short spurts.

Welcome CougarofRob and Writennyadbex.  Astro welcome back,  Happy Birthday to all the ones I have missed  .  All the Preggo's how are you all feeling?

Life is still crazy here just slowing down a bit  .  Christmas was great, kids loved all their gifts, although i did come to realize something.  My kids are spoiled LOL (My fault only I know  )  I hope everyone had a wonderful Holiday season so far. 

My darling husband got me a Ipad mini for Christmas even though i have a kindle fire which i love.  He said he was tired of seeing me squint while i was reading. So he got me the ipad mini because of the screen.  I just did not have the heart to tell him that i was squinting because i was being to lazy to get up and get my glasses.  So now my question to you lovely ladies,  what works best with Ipda mini's, Mobi, PDF ect?  I can download the kindle app onto it but is there a better one to use?  Does calibre companion work on the ipad?  I am not an Apple person, so please bear with me.

I have not done much reading lately kinda in a slump.  I have all these i want to read and I just forget to mark them and then i totally forget what they are.   

Missed all of you....

Welcome Back!  I don't have the iPad mini, but I do have the full size.  I usually try to get epubs, but pdf's work great too!  Enjoy!   

Hi limomx! I also have the regular ipad. My main go to reading app is ibooks. You can read epubs and pdfs with it. I also have the kindle app so i can read mobi and azw3 files. If am not too lazy, i eventually open my PC and convert the .mobi and azw3 into epubs so i can read it in ibooks instead 

I havent tried using calibre in my ipad. So as Ella said, i use my PC to download and copy/sync it to my ipad using itunes. Otherwise, some friends of mine email me their books. I just open the email attachment and once its fully downloaded it will give you the option to "open in ibooks". Once i click that, it's saved to ibooks.

If i am downloading straight to my ipad using the wifi:
A) i go to fictionpad and use flag to download (as i NEVER VISIT FFN ANYMORE. )

B) The greatest thing ever is to go to Ella's google drive and download fanfics from there 

Just a reminder to fic authors in general (and you too Cougarofrob), don't forget Twilighted.  You can still submit fics to them to post.  Why should ff.net have all the fun?   I have an old laptop and an outdated browser that can't be updated and ff.net doesn't like me anymore.   I stick with Twilighted which likes my laptop.   I know some of you don't like submitting to a validation beta but the site is there - use it.   That's my mini rant for the day - such as it is.

I'm not an author, but as a reader, my next preferred site it TWCS, as I am learning how to browse there.  If I don't know specifically what I am looking for? Fictionpad is useless.  I have the hardest time getting around in it.  And I really don't have time to learn more new stuff right now. 

I don't really like Twilighted.  Partially because it is really hard to read on it.  I will download from there.  And everytime I look for stuff to read, well, it always seems like the writers there love Jacob.  And I find most of the writers of Jacob/Bella are teens.  So, not well written.

I really like reading at FFnet.  I really wish they would get the stick out of their a** and quite being so um, okay, I'm not going to say it because it will sound really bad. 

Yeah, so, um *steps off soapbox and looks embarrassed at rant*    Yeah, that's about it....
