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

Good question. I hope no one used up space in a life boat rather than taking a passenger. That wouldn't be the kind of object I'd want to buy at all, even if I did have £250,000+ to spare.

P.S. floved Edward with a tail. Written in the Stars was a great story! Quite original. I just got two of Lissa Bryan's OF stories yesterday and am looking forward to reading them.

I agree, I think it might be a bit creepy to own such a piece of memorability....It's not the odd plate or something this would be a pretty personal item.

I think Lissa Bryan is bloody marvellous, what OF stories do you have of hers?
 

I have figured out why most of you ladies didn't know what TIALS was.

Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.

Just to update. I'm so into Surviving Bella that today I pretending to be on a conference call and locked myself in my office for an 2 hours so I could continue to read after lunch...

Oh Demaris you are sooo like me.   Except mine are webinars,  ( I sign up for ones that I already attended, and then read during them)

Goodness me some people have more money then sense. 

Lissa Bryan is one very talented lady, have you read The Selkie Wife? 

Something I've been wondering about all day. The violin from the Titanic is being auction off on Saturday (reserve price £250,000), but considering it was being played as the ship went down (we've all seen the films; stoic, stiff upper lip, quartet playing the passengers to their untimely death) how did it get back to dry land?

Violin that was played to calm passengers as Titanic sank undergoes CT scan to prove authenticity before going to auction
The violin is unplayable with two long cracks in its body caused up by moisture damage, but instrument is said to be in reasonable condition
It is expected to fetch around £400,000 at auction and has been forensically examined and has undergone a CT scan to prove its authenticity
Violinist Wallace Hartley's valise bag and seven water-stained sheets of music, found with his body after the disaster, will also be sold at auction
Miss Robinson had given the violin to Mr Hartley in 1910. An engraving on a silver plate on the instrument explains it was to mark their engagement

Genius! I'll have to use the excuse next time!

I loved the tail, it was so expressive!!

Yeah. No. I kept The Pretty far, far away from Written In The Stars..not sure how I'd come back from that. Tailward had different eyes and nose etc from how Edward is normally depicted, didn't he?  No, The Pretty has to stay firmly on Terra Firma no alien adventures for him.  But I agree that it is a story that should be moved up the TBR List of all...

Yeah definitely don't go into reading this with a picture in your mind of how he should look.  Go in with a blank slate and let the story create it for you, but definitely read it!

I read lots of non cannon so it's easier for me to accept strange stuff I guess.  I have just read a one shot where Bella is mated to another vampire (one of Aro’s lot).  This vampire has her killed by his lover because she is human and disgusts him.  See?   

Yes, I do. Fook! As Scotward would say.

Oh Lord. That just got creepier...found in a bag strapped to Hartley's floating dead body? No, I couldn't have that in my house..I don't really believe in ghost but there no need to court trouble!

I have to say I had a laugh when I read your post. It took me awhile to get there I have to fess up; at first I was freaked out by his tail....

Yes, I do. Fook! As Scotward would say.

Fook indeed. 

I agree, I think it might be a bit creepy to own such a piece of memorability....It's not the odd plate or something this would be a pretty personal item.

I picked up Ghostwriter and The End of All Things (someone posted a link to the first chapter a few posts ago). I'm looking forward to reading them.

Goodness me some people have more money then sense. 

Lissa Bryan is one very talented lady, have you read The Selkie Wife? 

Yes, while Written in the Stars is my favorite of hers, The Selkie Wife is my second. I also enjoyed the other two of hers that I read--The Better Angels of Our Nature (where Edward is a guardian angel) and  Dark Goddess: E&B Version (where Bella is a recently awakened vampire who thinks she's a goddess). They were both good too and I rec them, but not as great to me as WitS.

I have started reading Dark Velvet by cristina, its a mobward/domward  crossover.  I am not sure I like it at all but somehow cannot stop reading.   

Okay, I had to look that up because it sounds like my kind of crossover! But it's a WIP!!! Ergh.

I remember when you were reading and commenting on this story. I was so nervous you were going to flounce. And then all these other ladies started to get freaked out with the tail thing too...

Hehehe I remember! But have no fear No-Flounce is here!

I don't want to risk reading a drama/angst ridden story from an author I don't know.

I really need some fun, romance, fluff to get in a better mood.

Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.

I hear ya. Maybe the fic we were discussing earlier, Died and Gone to Heaven? If you haven't read it that might hit the spot....
