  • 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:

My second biggest problem with Jacob stories (the first being he isn't Edward) is that mostly? The writers who love Jake are usually young or at least write immaturely.  So I get bored.  Fast. 

Truthfully, I actually like Latino guys.  Edward is so opposite my normal "hero/love interest" type.  So really? I should love Jacob.  But besides the fact he has the same name as my bratty 15 yr old nephew? I really hated that he was so manipulative in Eclipse in that whiny,guilty way that really annoys me.  It's really hard to separate that from any Jacob's in the fanfics.

When I was a strict canon girl, I couldn't stand Jacob. And it took me over a year of almost exclusive non-canon to even venture into the Jacob fics, I disliked him so much in the books...and not necessarily because of his manipulation in the books. My dislike was due to his age...trivial and shallow, yes but for some reason I couldn't get past the whole 'younger than Bella' aspect (it's always been a turn-off IRL so apparently that carried over into books/fics). And the age was a big part of why he was so damn whiny and manipulative IMO

I think it really made a difference (as Anchalee suggested) that I read a bunch of Paul/Bella fics before trying a Jacob fic. The two Jacob fics I've read so far,  he's already a wolf when it begins and there really isn't any of the guilt/manipulation/whining that he did in the books.

Now....Edward is a different story. He's usually the one doing what Jacob did in the fics lol.

And I'm with ya, I've always found men with darker hair/skin/eyes more attractive than blue/blond. It's another reason why I picture Jasper with dark hair when I'm reading a Jasper fic.

I know exactly what you mean by the young, immature writers with Jacob fics...I've only read two and both are written very very well. But I've come across quite a few young/immature writers with Paul fics and I almost always flounce.

Perhaps you should start with some Sam/Bella fics? Or Paul/Bella? Jared/Bella? Embry/Bella?  :P

I can't get into Seth/Bella stories...  :-\ That's cougarella on a whole different Level...

Jacob at least was obviously manipulative. Edward manipulated just as much, but not as obvious. And Bella was just a manipulative B*** as well.
I didn't care for either of them. And Jacob was the only one who got punished for his behaviour, imprinting on the spawn from hell...  :D

(Hm, sounds like I didn't like the books... well, I loved them, they were all Teenagers, they are allowed to be Little shits ;) )

You said it better than I did...all three of the main characters were manipulative, just in different ways.

I can't do Seth/Bella,either. I don't think that will change, just like I do don't Carlisle/Bella....the whole Daddy thing squicks me out and I can't get past it.

I haven't done any Sam or Jared fics yet. I have them all downloaded and waiting but haven't gotten there. I don't have any Quil or Embry fics though....for some reason those characters just don't interest me

Thanks! To be honest, it's not much of a thread, yet.  But the non-canon thread is so long... I like the thought of an extra wolfpack thread.  :)

Seth/Bella is somewhat weird. I read an OS last week with that pairing. There Seth imprinted on Bella but she left till he was at least 18.

There are some good Carlisle/Bella stories out there, but mainly the AH ones are readworthy. No Daddylisle though, just older man/younger girl. And since I like age gap stories... ;)

Part 5 already!! Our thread seems to go on for a lot longer than others I've seen around here. Some lock their threads at 100 or so pages. Could you imagine if we did that? Ella would be starting one every few weeks lol.

Present, ma'm! Was about to comment earlier but then i had to focus on work  ;D

Am on my lunch break, so:
1. thread 5!!!  :dance:
My OCD made me think this: couldn't we have reached page 300 before moving? Now thoughts of abs and gerard butler are entering my head...

2. I am glad we are all happy to discuss anything under the sun here, not just twifics. as the others said, can't contribute much as have been reading mostly real books now. though i did finish awesomesauce76's The Single game and liked it. I also rec you read this sweet HS fic.
Was about to start book 2 of Rock Chick but then i got sidetracked with beth Kerry's Because You Are Mine series. Enjoying it as well.

3. glad to see an alert today from FFN for redtini's how to live with a moviestar. Saw her note that she will no longer update it in ffn. I followed her blogspot last week and indicated my email but didn't get an alert for this. So went on over to fictionpad and followed it similar to how it is in FFN. Hope it works. the best part? I was able to download it from Fictionpad using Flag. yey!!! It works!!!!  :)

4. Welcome jackief1! Pls do give us your deets so we can get to know you better. just mosey on down to page 292 of thread4 to see a link to the spreadsheet on deets of the girls here.
Where are you from?
How tall are you?
What's your shoe size?

As for killing hubby, he is upset because he got leftovers for dinner.  I don't know why he is complaining, I bought him a boatload of candy from Costco!  He should probably be cooking for me!  Yeah, right!   :-\ :D :-\

We still love you Matron.  I personally have been reading all the Rock Chick books, the Unfinished Hero series, have now moved on to the Dream Man series.  Once I start Kristen Ashley I find it hard to stop.
I'm nearly finished with the first Rock Chick book and it definitely is a fun read...    Is it just me or is there not much S E X in this book?  It seems like its mostly fading to black.   Maybe I've been desensitized by all those fics?   :D

Sigh.  Part of me wants to find a great HP fanfic to read.  Then the other part that downloads everything? Starts freaking out.  I mean there are 650K - sorry - 661K Harry Potter stories out there.  That is 3 times the number of Twifics.  Yeah, I'm having trouble keeping up.

But go ahead and rec anything you like.  Although it says Twific Discussion, I think it's obvious that anything goes here.  ;D


Ella - have you not read any HP fanfic either?

I love the HP books...  almost in a reverent way.  I haven't even considered venturing into HP fanfiction because I don't want to read anything that will sway too far from the original books.  And I definitely do NOT want to read anything rated M.   This will forever be an innocent young adult story for me.   With all that being said...  do they have HP fanfic that is completely 100% canon that is rated YA with no lemons etc?   If you guys know of one that is a guaranteed good read that picks up after the series ended I'd give it a shot.  :)

I agree. i often hope that they were at least 21 and in college so that she is really legal (ie drink).
This is my one "concern" with Me and Mr. Cullen. B was just starting her senior year in HS when she got married to 31(?) yr old E. But i guess the story works bec of it... and it still hasn't updated in a while  :(

This is exactly why I stopped reading WIP's!  I can't stand starting a story and never get to an ending when the author stops writing...    >:(

Welcome hun!

Why that ungrateful little so and so! Don't worry, us girls here have sworn to bail each other out when (notice I didn't say if lol) necessary. Btw you might want to let him know that he'll most likely be eating leftovers more often now that you've fallen into our clutches. Also, you might fall behind in cleaning, laundry, feeding the kids/pets.......oh another thing to warn the newbies - if you value your pc/laptop/Tablet whatever the case may be its strongly advised not to drink anything while you're here. Many will vouch for that hehe

(Hm, sounds like I didn't like the books... well, I loved them, they were all Teenagers, they are allowed to be Little shits ;) )
But see, I totally got Edward's side.  You have a guy that is, on one hand 17 & in love for the first time. On the other hand, he is 108 and has seen and heard everything.  Also, he has his basis in a time when women were taken care of.  And he over thinks things and is a little emo.  He knows all the bad things that can happen to his love.  And his love not only attracts bad guys and dangerous things, she stupidly seeks them out as well.  So he is a little possessive and manipulative in trying to keep her, in his mind, safe. Bella gets this and works around it.  So in a way, she doesn't let him manipulate her.  So I guess that is why I don't really have a problem with it. 

And? If he were human and acting that way? Yeah, big problem. Because no normal 17 year old thinks anything bad will happen to them ever.

I do understand Jacob.  But after growing up Catholic, the guilt thing? Annoys the heck out of me.  And Bella lets him guilt her.  And whiny just annoys me anyway....   >:(

But really, for me? I just don't see Bella with anyone other than Edward.  And Edward with Bella.   And the movies really ruined the pack boys for me.  How those out of shape looking guys turn into wolves is beyond me.  Well, the movies ruined a lot for me.....  Probably why I stick with Bella and Edward as they were fixed in my head before the movies came out.   ;D

I downloaded a couple that I think Caro rec'd.  But most of the "good" one's I've heard about are either Dramione or Harry/Draco slash.  Since Draco is not my idea of a hero/love interest, I just can't see reading them.  And I'm not really into slash.  At least not as the main characters in a story.

I wouldn't mind an "after the battle" story, but I've never heard of one. And I know what you mean.  When starting Twilight fanfics, other than the rec'd stuff (My first was Quantum Fizzz's The Plan - all human, drabble), I was looking for after BD stories.  They were really hard to find.  At least good ones.

I haven't read HP fics yet, but I think I would want to start with Before Harry fics. There are a lot of fics about the James/Lily in Hogwarts, how they fell in love etc, their battles and struggles during the first war...

Those I would read, but I'm still looking for someone to rec the good ones  ;)

This I might try.  I also did a search on FFnet and found a few where Snape rescues Harry from the Dursleys.  They have a lot of reviews.  But nothing with James and Lily.....
