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

Ooops, sorry to be slacking Anch but RL is quite hectic. I did make an effort to ask the newbies sometime in Jan. But i got no reply from them .... So, let's try this again:


   to our newbies and not so newbies

Pls let me welcome you to our thread by asking the following questions
Where are you from?
How tall are you?
What is your shoe size?
What is your bra size? 

Don't worry, majority of us here have already shared this, and more as you will find out reading the past threads.

Hope you guys stick around and join the fun. 

Dasbaiyo, i was sorely tempted to ask you the size of that unique body part that makes you a male,  but that would be way too intrusive already.  So, my additional question to the only guy i know in this thread is:
Are you single?
We have a lot of lovely single ladies here  But, this is not really a dating site (might feel incestous, bec after sharing our inner selves here, we are like family). I look forward to hearing your thoughts about the topics we randomly discuss around here. Will be good to see a man's perpective, not only of those females here who are single/married, with/without kids.  . Hey, have you ever heard of the Diva Cup? 

I currently reside in the San Francisco Bay Area.
I'm about 5'7" / 170 cm (and yes I know that's very short, I'm Asian.)
Shoe size: Mens 7.5
Bra size: ---

Yes, I'm single.
Diva cup: assuming it's the receptacle I'm thinking of, yes I have.

wrt angst, I can definitely handle angst.  All of my WIPs are angsty to different degrees.  But I do like to have a HEA in the multichapter stories that I read. O/Ss don't matter as much.

I think Esme's look stayed fairly consistent too, but she kind of faded into the background in the movies. The hair was the worst in the movies, my lawd. Jasper's wigs just got worse and worse, and I think it kinda sucked that the woman that played Rosalie dyed her hair in the first one, then refused for the rest. Couldn't they have found someone who was already blonde, so that wouldn't have been an issue?

Personally, I LOVED Alice's hair in the second movie, and have used that picture as a go to for my stylist more than once. But by the last films, it was fairly flat and dull, not Alice like at all.

"Esme's" hair went dark in a couple of them.  I guess she didn't wear her wig all the time. And? The actress looked much better with Esme's hair color than her own.  Her own made her look old and tired. 

I could never figure out why they didn't get a real blond to play Carlisle, Rose and Jasper.  Because really? No one knew them.  So it made no sense to me.  There are tons of blond actors and actresses that would have done just as good a job as they did. Without the wigs....

But I did think Ashley Green made a great Alice.  She had the perfect perkiness.

Cool, another Asian! By your name, thought you might be Japanese or Filipino like me? Ddoe is originally from Malaysia.

Sorry.  Taiwanese American.

Oh I could see Thad doing it! He's always looked young for his age.

  And can be sweet and charming or strong and commanding - that's why I pictured him when I was reading.

Malaysian Chinese. When I was younger ( and slim), I spent a few months in HongKong and when I go shopping in a store run by  Filipinos, they always speak Tagalog to me. I was told that I look Filipino. After I put on weight, I was told that i don't look Filipino anymore.

I am Filipino with some Chinese blood. People mistake me for Chinese or Japanese. When i went to those countries, i am also mistaken as them so they also try to speak to me in their language . Malaysians, Indonesians and Filipinos look alike. We share some common words in our language as well. 

Guess the caucasians suffer the same fate. At least they will first be spoken to in English so they will likely understand. Only when they speak and we hear their accents do we figure out they're not Americans but Brits, Aussies, French, Germans... Oooh, but the Italians and Spaniards with their complexions, you immediately know they are Europeans

Ah it seems like just yesterday there was drama over the casting choices. Both Kristen and Nikki were cast based off of previous work with the first director. I never really had a problem with the cast as much as the awful makeup. Eyes described as gold (which still kills me) in the book were orange on film. I dunno. When I pictured gold eyes I was assuming they'd be closer to hazel.

But everything bad about the films is what helped make them so campy and silly

I agree, Ashley Green was probably the best casting in that series. To me, Kellen wasn't nearly big enough for how Emmett was described, Nikki Reed (is that right?) wasn't NEARLY as gorgeous as Rose was described, and K Stew looked just right, but can't act, or couldn't in those movies.

I also preferred the first Victoria, even though she never really got to say much.

Why couldn't they cast blondes to play blondes?

Those awful wigs

just finished reading the cullen legacy by pattyrose......loved it....heartbreakingly beautiful story....can anyone recommend stories like this or about mates like those written by princess rachael and Mezzanottex3.....some are complete by her some not but theyre are very intense....worth a try..
i would love some reccommendations......

Okay, I think I might have figured it out.  I was downloading CayStar's Contest Entries. And I think what happened is she must have changed the title (It used to be called Three Little Words) and put all her contest entries in it instead of starting a new story to put them in.  I only figured this out as I went into Calibre and changed it to show the latest updated fics and Three Little Words came up. Everything still looks like it should be Three Little words, all the metadata for it and all. But the word count is now much higher and it has 3 chapters. So I went in and clicked on the last page to see what the last sentence is and low & behold it is the last sentence of Contest Entries, "Due Process".

Sadly, I tried to update the Calibre metadata to match that of FFN but it won't change for me. So I guess I'll have to do it manually?
