  • 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:

I have about 20 stories by an author called Zosie in my Calibre library. So today I decided to read one; I feel like shooting myself in the face. Twice. The story is called As if I Never Existed.

Edward leaves Bella after High School to go to NYU, and soon afterwards, she disappears. While he is living his new life, Bella has been kidnapped by serial girl collector, James, and kept isolated so she suffers Stockholm Syndrome and bonds with him.

It's AH, and it is soooo...wait, OK, last time I was too blunt about a fic FFG told me off so, all I'll say is, before starting this story get a dessert spoon, scoop both your eyes out with it, then read. Now I plan to get rid of every single story that reside in my Calibre by this....?...author?  But before I do I thought I'd reach out to you ladies to ask, have any of you read any of her story that might be worth saving? Don't be shy now, I promise not to hold it against you if I disagree  :D :D

Some of her stories are cute. I came upon her tiny 2 chapter shot, called Someone Like You and enjoyed it so I went through most of what she had. The majority of her stories are fluffy melodramas that nearly always throw in Bella and Edward being each others "One" so what she actually finishes will end on a happy note. Her author bio says that she's not an author, but someone writing silly stories and publishing them. Gotta give her props for sharing those silly stories with strangers.

She has 2 other pen names, and I happened to come across a fic she wrote called It's Murder on her account under the name ElleD'Amore, that she's currently posting to her Zosie account. I liked it for the first few chapters and then you could tell where she probably got bored with it, because it went from something resembling a romantic crime drama story to pure fluff and family time.

I found another author that seems similar jess2002, although out of the two I think Zosie has better spelling and grammar. Jess2002 had a story where James was a child molester and had adopted Edward and Bella and abused them both to the point where they were brainwashed and oh it was just a mess. I flounced.

Told you off!  I'm sure I was teasing you!  I love you demaris, even when you're blunt as a rusty, old knife (and even if you have obviously lost your mind since The Pretty no longer does it for you).  NOW, tell us what's wrong with the story!  Ella may want to read it.

 :-* I adore you too! I know you were teasing, and after I post a 'blunt' review I do feel bad, I do, for about 10 seconds; then I remember the wasted time I'll never get back and it clears the feeling right up:D

I read the Actorward one.  It was okay.  Not something I'd recommend unless you really need an Actorward fix.  :P

I also may have started Forgetting Edward.  It was okay, but I think I was looking for a Vampward fic and started a bunch of them until I found one I couldn't put down.  I always considered her writing okay, but not great.  And I haven't read that one, nor would I.  I don't usually do kidnap fics unless it's Edward doing the kidnapping....
LOL! I love all the crack fics everyone hates.  Not the psuedo-angst stuff.  LOL!   :D :D :D :D :D

But it's true, I read a lot of stuff I don't want to rec on here....

This story was just implausible, and the dialogue between the characters was ridiculous, and clunky and at times read like they were 6 year olds. Bella snapped out of 8 year of kidnapping as a nympho, and though James 'collected' girls, he never sexually abused her?! Its annoying because she had all the raw material for a good story just not the capacity to weave one together...

OK. Lets take it as a given that no matter what my personal viewpoint is of a story, I always appreciate an author putting themselves out there. I mean, after all, one can live without eyeballs, right?  :D

I'm following this one, I'm really liking it at the moment. But I have to admit I am only skimming this one, as I really wanna read it properly one it's complete.I use to try and give up something difficult to give up like sex, but that never works in my favour.  :P

I am skimming it and I doubt if I will read it when complete.  I don't usually mind a slow burn but I am getting a bit impatient with this one.

As for lent, I thought I might give up s.e.x but hubs is not keen.   :-* :-* :-* :-*

Apparently I should work on my listening skills.

"But then I got a whiff of a familiar scent, something masculine yet comforting.  I couldn't recall when I had heard it before but it was heavenly and I instantly relaxed."

Its from You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login by MK Marie.  It also has some questionable ages/professions and driving distances but I am trying to ignore those things,

So I finished this story, and the plot is decent (no lemons, didn't affect the story for me, but just letting you know) but the many many spag errors throughout have to be overlooked.  Some of it didn't even seem spell checked, Jaboc?  So I don't recommend it if you get annoyed by spelling errors, and otherwise I give it an average recommendation.

I've tried reading her stuff.  She has some interesting sounding stories, but her writing is juvenile to me.  And I think I tried one of her less, um, angsty? ones.  Because I don't do badly written angst.

Okay, I avoid angst pretty much anyway  ;D

Grrr Is there any way to make FFDL in the Calibre library NOT pull the favorites of the author when you pull all their fics?  I forgot about that lil' lovely quirk and just went to nab Kitkat681's stories only for her to have 451 favorites that Calibre is now trying to pull down on top of her 39 stories. I only want her stories.  I don't need or want her favorites.  HELP?

Hello there!  :-*

Anybody missed me? We had winter holidays and used the two weeks to run off to the warm sun of the Canary Islands  :)

It was so great, lots of beachtime, sunshine, no cooking for me... the kids had fun and me too...  :)

So, what did I miss?
Any babies been born?
New stories completed?
Embarassing stories shared?

Tell me!

I can definitely see that. Nothing is worse than something that has the potential to be an interesting plot with bad execution. That's why I refrain from writing  :P That and when I read something with way too much description. I don't need to read three paragraphs about someone's wardrobe.

You are welcome. This feature drove me crazy too. I ended up having over 11,000 stories in one year ( started using calibre on Feb 28 ,2013)  Now i have tons of stories that i will never read but did not want to delete just in case one day in the future i may need them.

It's that hoarder instinct.  While you wouldn't have downloaded them if it wasn't so easy, once you have them you can't let them go.  Many of us here suffer from that same syndrome.

22,000+ and counting.  It's easier to grab all than to grab certain ones. And though I won't read a number of them? You never know who might want them.

Though I wish there was a ratings don't want filter. I would prefer not to grab the K's.  Most of the K ratings seem like they are written by a high schooler. :P

Have you guys read Fantastical by Kristen Ashley?   I am swooning big time for this book (half way through now)!  The first book (Wildest Dreams) in the series was really good, but I'm liking this one even better.     They are all standalones, but loosely related.   Book 2, Golden Dynasty was good, but it wasn't as "pretty" as these other two.
