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

I would like to go on record that RP is only remotely attractive in the twilight movies.

Blasphemy! 

More for me now!  I actually liked him in Water for Elephants and this new one - he looks pretty hot!

But I totally get that we all have different tastes in what it cute.   

What brought this on? 

But all that make-up they put on him in the movies didn't make him prettier, thats sure... 

I've been getting caught up on this thread and I can't remember who was talking Talking about him being pretty It's all I had to contribute.

ETA: words

LOL! We do call him "The Pretty"   

To me Jackson Rathbone is pretty, way too short though. Horrible over actor, but I'd hit it.

The problem for me with Jackson is that the first time I saw him, he played a really pretty transvestite on Criminal Minds. Really pretty and totally psycho.  Did a good job. 

And really, basing his acting abilities on the Twilight movies is wrong.  The dialogue in those things was so bad.  I really hoped they would fix the problems with the book in the screenplay.  But really, she just made it worse.   

Yes! Just like that!

I love that episode!

Ian is my dream man. :sighs;

He is definitely hot!

 Lol, when it comes Shey Stahl you can use that gun as much as you like hun. I'm ashamed that I even bought any of her books, but I did manage to get a refund on them so it's not all bad. 
 I suggest you hide before demaris finds you. 

Okay, I read the letter. Or skimmed it. I never read Dusty and probably never will. Not my cup of tea.  And I'm totally against plagiarism.  But if what she said happened actually happened? This p*sses me off.  There are way too many bullies in this fandom. You don't make threats against a person's kids or family. Or tell them to kill themselves.  She copied stuff. She didn't kill anyone. Sue her for money. Or get your money back. The rest is wrong.

Okay then. * steps off soapbox* 

And I'm glad the lovely people here do not do this.   

I don't want to read The Letter. Do I have to read The Letter? Please don't make me read The Letter. *Fine! Off to read The Letter...*

Um, you don't have to read the letter if you don't want.

She basically states some BS about being out of town when the stuff hit the fan and that she didn't copy the stuff and that her editor left not because she plagiarized but because she got a non-approved proof-reader.  Yeah. 

Oh, and something about running it through some system that checks for plagiairization that probably doesn't look at fanfiction or other non-published work.  Give me a break.  I can see love scenes being similar.  It's hard to write something new.  But when you have so many similarities? Yeah, no.  Unless you are YellowGlue in disguise......

As far as I am aware no one threatened her family or her daughter, but then I suppose we don't the full extent of everything that happened over this.
We only know what was put out on the internet etc.
But if anyone did threaten her, her family or her daughter shame on them. 

Thank you Ella

I don't know Loopy some of those ladies in the Dusty Facebook group are CRAZY! I'd put nothing past them  . I'm not sure what to say about that Letter, I read the passages in her book that where 'similar' to Dusty and all I know is having read Dusty countless times they were not similar, they were the same! I'm not cray cray enough, or have enough time on hand to threaten individuals online but everyone knows that Facebook is the devil, I'm almost of a mind to think that sticking your sh!t out there on a social media site for public consumption is asking for trouble, why be surprised when trouble finds you? IMO.

Until yesterday, I didn't even know what Dusty is/was.

  Because, you know, I can't say "read Dusty or I'll kill ya' 

Bwahahahahahahaha 

Don't worry, I've never read it.  It's very angsty.  If you like angst and don't care that the ending is not really what you would think of as happy? Read it.

Otherwise, if you find angst annoying like me and need an HEA , avoid it at costs!  *runs and hides from Demaris*

Ella! I think of it as happy! It's a non-spoonfeed HEA  ....and you can't hide from me Mz Ella...

N.B Ooooo, look at those pecks....am I ever going to get used to seeing The Bend at the end of my posts?
