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

Hmm I'm feeling very much the technotard right now. LOL I clicked on the Google Drive from there and all it does is take me to my own Google Drive and at that point I do have a search box but obviously the item I'm looking for isn't in there (I tried to search the author name anyway just to try it out).

Hmm.  I can do it from my phone using my one account that doesn't have the files on it.  But when I try to do it from my computer, it makes me sign in on my account that has the calibre library, so I can't check it. 

But I have no problems on my phone accessing it.

Let me know if that doesn't work for you 

Ella - It worked.  I could see the files no problem!  Thanks.   

So, I think Ellachanted rec'ed this O/S by ClaireBamboozle (aka Cougarofrob) the other day. And I have to say: If you haven't read it yet, you're really missing out. But please, don't drink your coffee while reading! Eating might be a bad idea too!       , Cougarofrob! Not for a long time have I enjoyed a funny fic so much.  You made my day!

Darn, I just realized I totally forgot to post the link this morning! I was still in a haze!

Um, I put it in my WIPs library before I tried to read the first one.  I think I got to the second or third chapter before I found something else to read.  I don't think I flounced....  but it was really close....   

However, I was going to rec that you never ever ever read it........ 

So, I haven't heard much about these stories. I do have the author on alert and never downloaded as it was a WIP. But, was going to snag it b.c I thought wow! nearly 14,000 reviews for the two stories? Must be good, right?  I haven't looked at the reviews yet. But, it sounds like I'm mistaken?

OK let me get this straight. You ladies are downloading 600 chapter of, no angst, no lemons, T rated, and, according to the author  'pointless detail' ? So here is my question. WHY?!  Does anyone have a shiv I can run across my wrists? 

Has anyone read this? Other than the first couple of chapters?  Seriously? No angst? No lemons? Pointless details? I do see it is actually rated M. But,  I'm confused as to why if there is no angst or lemons in it. Language?

I'm thinking that the amount of chapters & words is going to scare me off of this story after all.

Frustrated with myself that an incomplete fic found its way onto my ereader!!

It was a converted pdf to epub, so I thought the low page count just meant it was a short story, nope.  I googled the author and she had posted more on fanfiction from what I had, but it still isn't done.  Wasn't the best writing but a different plot so I want to see where it goes and now I am stuck waiting, I guess I just need to find a different fic to take my mind off my frustration.

I hate it when I do that. What is worse for me is a while back I converted my entire WIP library to mobi (since calibre/ffndl downloads as ePub) and didn't realize until way too late that if you convert a WIP the converted version will be stuck at what was posted at that moment. It doesn't get updated as the ePub does. So I never know if one fic is going to be loaded to my Kindle and be complete ePub in the library but an incomplete Mobi until I try to open it up and see it isn't finished.  Now days I try to keep track of which fics are completing off of my WIP list and re-convert them then.  But, now and again one slips by and I don't find it until I am away from my laptop/library and without wifi so I can't do anything about it then but go on to another story. So frustrating.

Awww, shucks, I'm blushing right to the roots of my hair  Glad I gave you some giggles and sorry you had to wipe down your computer screen.

You know that Calibre/ffdl can download in mobi, don't you? I don't want to be rude, just hoping to help if I can.

LOL Um no, I didn't know that. I've just gone off the default. How can I change it?  Is it just in the plug-in configuration?

If I change it to Mobi instead of the ePub will I still be able to use the ePubMerge plug in?

No, all the good stuff only works with ePub

I think I'll keep it as ePub if I don't get all my cool metadata that way. Because I FLOVE having all the cool metadata. After I have all the current WIPs that are half mobi and all ePub then I'll probably do the same thing, just let Calibre convert when I send it to my Kindle. That way I won't mess up like that again.

you can always sort them by the Complete column then remove all the mobis from the WIPs by hilighting all the WIPs then select remove all of a type of book and select mobi.
