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

So, I thought I'd take a break from Holding On To you by ObessingOverEdward (which I have to say I'm finding mighty boring!) with this little, quick read, 10 chapter fic, after all, how bad could it be?....I now have to hide in the ladies bathroom away from my colleagues to repair the ravages my mascara has left on my face! Huge cry? Snotty, gulping, headache forming wail is more accurate. Thanks for that Anchalee    

Warning not good enough? Sorry? 

Warning not good enough? Sorry? 

Add a "do not read if you have to show your face to anyone within the time you start reading and half an hours after!"  . Its a good story though...so thanks for the rec   

Got this joke from a co-worker. Enjoy a Friday laugh on me...... 


The Washcloth
Ladies, this has to be read, laughed at and passed on. There is not a woman alive who won't crack up over this!

I was due for an appointment with the gynecologist later in the week. Early that morning, I received a call from the doctor's office to tell me that I had been rescheduled for 9:30 am . I had only just packed everyone off to work and school, and it was already around 8:45am . The trip to his office took about 35 minutes, so I didn't have any time to spare.

As most women do, I like to take a little extra effort over hygiene when making such visits, but this time I wasn't going to be able to make the full effort.  So, I rushed upstairs, threw off my pajamas, wet the washcloth that was sitting next to the sink, and gave myself a quick wash in 'that area' to make sure I was at least presentable. I threw the washcloth into the clothes basket, donned some clothes, hopped into the car and raced to my appointment.

I was in the waiting room for only a few minutes when I was called in. Knowing the procedure, as I'm sure you do, I hopped up onto the table, looked over at the other side of the room and pretended that I was in Paris or some other place a million miles away. I was a little surprised when the doctor said, 'My, we have made an extra effort this morning, haven't we?'

I didn't respond.

After the examination, I heaved a sigh of relief and went home. The rest of the day was normal ... some shopping, cleaning, cooking...

After school, when my 6-year-old daughter was playing, she called out from the bathroom, 'Mommy, where's my washcloth?'

I told her to get another one from the bathroom cabinet.

She replied, 'No, I need the one that was here by the sink - it had all my glitter and sparkles saved inside it.'

Never going back to that doctor.

Ever. 

I've only had two writers share the summary with me, but I did make a suggestion to another that she edit the summary. I've even pointed out errors in the profiles of my writers - you can probably all imagine me with my red pen!

One of my writers was dumped on over on ADF this week - actually, the attack was on the betas. She has 2 - me and another. I PMed the person that posted the criticism and she said that she hadn't even read the fic, but had issues a few years ago with things the other beta was linked to.

I tried to point out tactfully that her criticism could have been perceived as an attack on me, and she assured me that it wasn't - but never retracted her comments publicly.

The initial criticism came about from someone else highlighting a grammatical error is Charlie's speech ("Me and you ...") . Several other posters commented that it was exactly how Charlie would speak and she changed her post.

This second poster ... 

What story were they talking about? I want a list of ALL the fics you beta so that I can support.

Im getting so tired of reading fics that edward say  "Oh Bella, i only had sex with other women. You were the only one i made love".

I normally like this author, but this fic is pissing me off.


I Want My Life Back
Author: samekraemer  PM
Master Sergeant Edward Cullen achieved a very important goal…twenty years of active service to country. As one chapter ends, he's determined to achieve another important goal…to get back the people he left behind in its pursuit. AH/AH. EPOV. Canon couples, but not in the canon way. Rated M…language, adult situations, citrus.

No cheating, but....

Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.

[/spoiler]. And everything is so easy for edward.

I told the author that, in a more polite manner ( i hope).

I always wonder if the author would abide to stuff like that in her real life.

I would like to see Edward

Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.

Perhaps Edward should not have an while he is banging about the place, it might even the score a tad or not.

I skimmed her fic that Edward cheats on Bella with Angela. I felt that she was like that other author, damn forgot her name, that ALWAYS write about edward cheating on bella.
Im afraid to read her stuff.

Mamasutra?

YES!!!!

Yeah I am not a fan of her writting either.  But from what I understand her older fic's were not like that.

Mamasutra?

I used to read Mamasutra but not any longer.

Something to read when you need a huge cry...
