  • 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:

Seth is sugar sweet...he'd be perfect for Renesmee.  If I cared about Seth or Renesmee...
Well, we were just saying, if there was no Jacob...... :P

When I first started with Kristen Ashley, I devoured everything that I could find, but now I have a hard time reading her books, because they all tend to sound the same. Everyone acts the same, talks the same, and it just really sticks out to me, the constant reusage of certain phrases.

@lucy, I'm not going anywhere, Ijust don't have anything to contribute to the Twific talk right now.

I agree, I read two of the RC series and that was enough.
I did try the a HP Fic but just could not get into it. I could not get that kids' face out of my head (Plays HP) as I read and that just spoiled it for me. To me, he is not attractive enough to inspire  uncontrollable bouts of passion. So not like The Pretty.

Do we have this girl's deets?!  She is obviously part of the sisterhood.  Except Loopy is trying to kill her husband with s e x.

Booked?  Where are you, honey?  Get your spreadsheet out.

Present, ma'm! Was about to comment earlier but then i had to focus on work  ;D

Am on my lunch break, so:
1. thread 5!!!  :dance:
My OCD made me think this: couldn't we have reached page 300 before moving? Now thoughts of abs and gerard butler are entering my head...

2. I am glad we are all happy to discuss anything under the sun here, not just twifics. as the others said, can't contribute much as have been reading mostly real books now. though i did finish awesomesauce76's The Single game and liked it. I also rec you read this sweet HS fic.
Was about to start book 2 of Rock Chick but then i got sidetracked with beth Kerry's Because You Are Mine series. Enjoying it as well.

3. glad to see an alert today from FFN for redtini's how to live with a moviestar. Saw her note that she will no longer update it in ffn. I followed her blogspot last week and indicated my email but didn't get an alert for this. So went on over to fictionpad and followed it similar to how it is in FFN. Hope it works. the best part? I was able to download it from Fictionpad using Flag. yey!!! It works!!!!  :)

4. Welcome jackief1! Pls do give us your deets so we can get to know you better. just mosey on down to page 292 of thread4 to see a link to the spreadsheet on deets of the girls here.
Where are you from?
How tall are you?
What's your shoe size?
What's your bra size?  :)

Ok, back to work for me! See ya later gals!

I feel a bit like I shouldn't be with all you Twilighters here, what with my recent HP Draco/Harry fetish. But I just can't stay away, lol

I started AydenMorgen's Rapture a while ago and got stuck in the middle and read about 6 Pride and Prejudice fics inbetween, but I am going back to Rapture to find out how it ends.

Ps. Anyone who reads Jacob fics-I have found that there are quite a few posted on ff.net that are actually completed....the author just never hit that complete button (why some authors don't do that, I'll never know).


Could you perhaps post the links to those in the Wolfpack Thread?

My second biggest problem with Jacob stories (the first being he isn't Edward) is that mostly? The writers who love Jake are usually young or at least write immaturely.  So I get bored.  Fast. 

Truthfully, I actually like Latino guys.  Edward is so opposite my normal "hero/love interest" type.  So really? I should love Jacob.  But besides the fact he has the same name as my bratty 15 yr old nephew? I really hated that he was so manipulative in Eclipse in that whiny,guilty way that really annoys me.  It's really hard to separate that from any Jacob's in the fanfics.

Perhaps you should start with some Sam/Bella fics? Or Paul/Bella? Jared/Bella? Embry/Bella?  :P

I can't get into Seth/Bella stories...  :-\ That's cougarella on a whole different Level...

Jacob at least was obviously manipulative. Edward manipulated just as much, but not as obvious. And Bella was just a manipulative B*** as well.
I didn't care for either of them. And Jacob was the only one who got punished for his behaviour, imprinting on the spawn from hell...  :D

(Hm, sounds like I didn't like the books... well, I loved them, they were all Teenagers, they are allowed to be Little shits ;) )

I can't get into HP fics... The Pairings creep me out *shudders* Dramione? eeek Harry/Voldemort slash?  that is so wrong...

And I'm not interested enough in slash fics. I read them sometimes, I love poly stories, but don't actually seek them out. So, no Harry /Draco slash...

Did you read that Edward/Carlisle BDSM slash?

I started to read this ages ago and then had to flounce.

I assume it improved then, as I thought it was immaturely written and full of cliches?

I'm pretty unsure what to tell you. I really really liked it but ... I can understand flouncing.

You all know I'm weird like that. I like reading stories that most of you didn't like.
Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.

So, yes, I would say this story is fluffy drama, something I like to read.

But I've read a very very bad story two days ago, so this could actually be mediocre and still I'd love it for being better...  :D






So, wow, I wrote this last night and my netbook decided to die on my... I just rebootet it and the answer is still there! That never happened!

It had all our pet peeves, like a meadow and New Moon moments, but she actually pulled it of nicely!

I tried to read this but I just couldn't get past Bella being 18... Then Edward is a doctor at 26 and has a part time as the town mayor? or something, I'm no expert in how long it takes to became a doctor but I sure as hell don't think that's right. But maybe it gets better.  ;)

He's 28 and the town consists of 700 people. I don't mind age gaps (hubs is 7 years than me and we got together when I was 17) and here she couldn't be older or her story wouldn't fit anymore...

It's fluff with drama. I like that, but I know many don't.  ;)

I have no problem with Olderward or age differences but I'm just seeing a lot of fics that have 18 year old Bellas when it would make more sense is they at least were in college.

But I did read that Bella
Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.
So it is convenient that she's 18.

I agree. i often hope that they were at least 21 and in college so that she is really legal (ie drink).
This is my one "concern" with Me and Mr. Cullen. B was just starting her senior year in HS when she got married to 31(?) yr old E. But i guess the story works bec of it... and it still hasn't updated in a while  :(

Yeah, it wouldn't work making her older here. And the age gap is actually something they have to work on, so it fits here, or better she made it work.

I never get that drinking age being 21, always forgetting it. Here it is 16 for beer and wine (low alcohol drinks) and 18 for high alcohol drinks. But you get your drivers license with 18.  :D Since you can get out of school with 16 if you don't want to go to university, why not drinking, right?

But it always drove me mad reading German fanfics which played in Seattle and had them go clubbing/drinking with 16  :-\ Why not sticking to Berlin or Munich?

We drive at 17 and drink and vote at 18 - voting is compulsory here.
Compulsory education ends when a child turns 16 or completes Year 10, whichever comes first.

There is talk of raising the drinking age back to 21 to combat drink-driving. I can't see how that will make a difference.

I also think that if you are old enough to fight for your country, you're old enough to have a beer.

Yes, voting is at 18 here, too. With 18 you are considered a legal adult.

I don't think raising the drinking age works. I think it's more important to show the kids at home how to act responsible with alcohol.
Our kids are allowed to take a sip if we drink something, and they see we don't drink and drive. They've seen us tipsy, but never hungover...
