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

Not battle/war. He is a former soldier, she is a PI.

I really did like the first one, and had every intention of going straight on to the rest of the series, but was slightly derailed with so many other good things to read. I'm hoping to have it finished by the end of the year.

Did I imagine it or did someone say she is working on Part 4?

ETD: I think I just got ballsed up - I just got an email alert that SexyLexiCullen has a new story - You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login - Fourth Addition to the Storm Series.

I may be in the minority here but I'm not lookin forward to a 4th instalment. Flounced the 3rd a quarter of a way in and I'm happy to end the series on the 2nd one.

The Characters on the 3rd just made me go "WTF!" And not in a good way. If you guys could make me like an underage school girl who was "innocent" but would throw herself to a drunk older guy after one night of hanging out together, then when he refuses him she stalks him in his house and acted like a psycho ex-gf for no reason. Then pretended to go out with his older brother to make the first guy jealous but end up having sex with the older brother after one night and then they fall in love. And then suddenly the other brother was actually in love with her too and EVERYONE thinks so highly of this whiny brat because she's so 'innocent'.

Just argh!! No... Just no... I can understand that characters can change but when their motivations aren't backed up by their actions/words/characteristics it feels out of place.

So if this is like Canon twilight, after Victoria tries to kill Bella she suddenly changes the next day and becomes this super sweet and super hot Victoria that Edward falls in love in and then Bella becomes a slut that slept with Riley and Aro at the same time so we should all hate Bella now and like Victoria because that's what the author wants.

At the risk of seeming a total idiot, what does IE stand for?

Internet Explorer.

It's what all of us really cool tech experts call it.

I so remember when you were a techtard.  Now you are giving all sorts of tech advice.  So proud...

Now I feel like a total dumb-arse but hey its late and whatnot.  That is my story and I am sticking to it. 

I think it was only about 12 months ago that I might have asked what IE is!

Ella - still a techtard, I'm just learning all the fancy words.

Except for metadata - it still scares the bejeebus out of me!

I barely made it through Quiet Storm and probably only managed that because I'm incapable of flouncing - although I have "wandered off" on a few fics because RL got really hectic.  While I have the sequels in my stash, I'll be surprised if I ever read them.

I didn't pay attention to the part where it said it was slash.  I was half asleep.  And then it caught me.  It is actually a great story, there's no real lemons in it.  Just kissing and cuddling.  I mean you know they do the deed, but it is not described.  I just kind of ignored that it was slash.  A lot of it is in letters.

I just read this last night, it was pretty good, but I prefer more detail. Not sex detail, just in general, about the relationships and such.

Lippert's fics don't feel long when you're reading them. I think the first two were about 400 pages each, 500 for the third and the fourth book was an awesome 600. Like the original series, each book has its own story arc for the school year though there is a developing overall arc that makes me feel like I'm on pins and needles awaiting the rest of the books...(ugh, why can't he write faster and WHY did I start reading them before the series was complete?  ) But back to your question, yes, it's completely HP canon and follows their kids as they enter Hogwarts. James is Harry and Ginney's first-born son and the stories follow him, his cousins and their friends. Lots of magic and wizardry! No slash--actually no lemons at all. It starts off with them at 11-years old, so we'll see..

Oh wow...  sounds great! Can't wait to read them! Love that it's all canon so far!

I don't know much about these stories...  are you saying that ultimately its a Edward x Victoria story?  And not ExB?   Ahhhh! Definitely not my thing if so.

Ok, so I think there is some confusion here. Victoria isn't in the 3rd installment of Gravity as far as I can recall. This is an EXB story all the way. I will admit that I wasn't as crazy about the 3rd installment as I was for the first 2.

Hey, i just passed my 1,000th post! Not too chatty, i hope, after 1.5 years 

To pay tribute to this unbelievable achievement, decided to make a summary:


An Unconventional Friendship by Booked

There's a saying: People come into your life for a reason, a season, or a lifetime. Friendship that knows no faces, borders nor boundaries...only boobs, feet and height. Some don't understand how physical distance is overcome by friendship... Forging an inexplicably stronger connection thru a love for fanfiction, books, and Edward. Life experiences shared enriching each others lives... No judgments, just acceptance and support from all. A happy place to be, a friendship that could stand the test of time zones.
