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

Hi guys 

Looking for recs

Wondering if you know of fics where Bella is plus sized. I read Fourteen and loved it and just realised this was the first time she didn't have a thin/beautiful/perfect body. I wanted to kill Edward at first but loved how different the fic was from all I've read. So, recs?

Have a lovely evening

Have you tried Comp Sem 101 by bornonhalloween?  Bella starts out as plus sized.

And there was one called Let's Get Physical that seems to have been pulled so I can't find a link.  It will be in the index here, but I don't remember the author. 

Let's Get Physical was written by lalina and it is, indeed, in the Index.

I knew you would know the author 

I actually thought it might be lalina, but it didn't sound right

Calibre and FFDL work much better for me now after the updates. I've been able to update about 200 stories at once in relatively short time. That was impossible for me in the last months. So I'm quite happy at the moment. I stay from updating all my 1500 WIPs in my library though and update only those with new chapters. I go to ff.net where I have all my WIPs saved in my favorites and I sort the list after "Sort by Story Update Date". I highlight then the ones updated since my last Calibre download and copy the links into the FFDL plug-in. I chose Add new... and Update always if story exists. Works great for me.

I tried to get into Love in my box by cosmoandmarvar over the weekend but failed greatly. I had to flounce. Maybe I wasn't in the right mood, but I found everything too overdrawn and forced.
I'm not normal!  This story has over 8000 reviews and I don't like it...I only managed 5 or 6 chapters before I had to quit. I get the impression I should simply stay away from funny stories. There are only so few that don't feel forced to me.  The last great one was Cougarofrob's O/S, but I can't remember any great funny multi-chapter fic. I flounced The Real Life of EA Masen too. 

I decided to read something quick after that and went right to "Where We Fell" by Amber L. Johnson (aka 107yearoldvirgin) and it is so so so so beautiful! I'd describe it as only a little angsty, but I'm really no measure when it comes to angst. The more the better. It has a wonderful HEA. I had to shed a tear or two and absolutely loved tearing up! A quick read, but it didn't feel rushed.

I'm starting now 
Summer of Salt
By: lola-pops 
The heat wave lingers. Sweet, savory and slick. Jasper, Rose and I wade through the humid days, content in our relative isolation. We spend June through August at our family lake property, and this summer is like any other. Until it's not.

And I hope this meets my need for angst. We'll see...  Someone rec'ed it over at FB so I thought to give it a try before I continue with the Cut & Run Series. There's a new book coming out in March and I still have to read book 5 - 7.
I still alternate between real books and fics and I do fine with this system. This way I work on my TBR-list of fics, but don't get stuck in reader's block. I never want to experience reader's block again!!!! 

On another note: Any Black Dagger Brotherhood lovers here? I'm sooo looking forward to the next book! The King comes out April 1st. This is the one series where I run and read as soon as a new book comes out.

I really liked Summer of Salt, I think...it was one of the first FFs I read. If I remember right there is ample angst but I was less of a Wh0re back then...so now it might actually seem quiet fluffy..*shrug* I'm of no use...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LOOPY!! [/b]

Love me some Aaron Paul....Hope you have a great time!

Thanks hun. 
Me too hun - I got really excited watching Top Gear last night. 
It's my type of film, so I'm sure I'll have great time drooling over the cars and of course Aaron.
