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

First, did you restart calibre after installing the plugin? You won't see it before that. 
If you already restarted calibre, it should be there...

And with what are you reading? If you have a kindle, it only reads mobi so you have to convert it.

Yeah I eventually figured it out, and it turns out it's not that hard. I use a kindle fire so I need mobi files.

Thank You

Thanks she did, and I will take you up on that If I get stuck.

No problem.  Glad it worked out.


Okay for Fictionpad users using Calibre's FFDL - here is the format for the personal.ini - copy/paste and change:

[fictionpad.com]
## Some sites require login (or login for some rated stories) The
## program can prompt you, or you can save it in config.  In
## commandline version, this should go in your personal.ini, not
## defaults.ini.
username:YourName
password:yourpassword

I used the format you gave for fictionpad and it worked.  (Runs up to you and squishes you.

Glad it worked 

I just read the first chapter ..... and I'm just thinking wtf, so the girl doesn't have money to buy food or pay rent but she has money to go to Spain?

Well, she has her priorities straight 

And no... and

Looks better now with a little editing:

I much prefer yours at we don't need anything but Rob in the pic. 

Loopy that spoiler was nuts! 

I'm waiting for PT to finish before I go anywhere near it....

Lol, that's what I get for using the bloody touchscreen on the laptop instead of the touchpad. 
I wish I had waited for her to complete it as I'm addicted to it and she takes for ever to update it
The first 5/6 chapters it was every other Wednesday since then it can be ages in between.
She took a month to post the last chapter and that was 3 weeks ago!! 

Gah!  Am I the only one here who read Allegiant?  (Divergent #3)     I'm dying over here.  Nobody to talk to about it.   

I'm gonna re-read the other books first to refresh myself on the series as it's been a while and I love the series so I don't mind. 

Sorry!  I swear I think I know what I'm doing at tinypic! 
 

Don't worry about it hun - it's no biggie really, just don't want FFG to come back to us crashing the thread.
If we do we'll blame Astro (love ya really hun  ). 

I'm still waiting to be flamed for my post, I've just congratulated an author for saying they're thinking of moving and telling all their author friends to do the same..

I really should be working, its after midnight here and I am no where close to being done with something that needs to be reviewed by others tomorrow, but I've gone back to the fanfiction blog to see what the crazies over there thought of your post.  Man they get me so frustrated!! It is fine with them if someone copy and pastes their work, but not fine if a "parasite" like flagfic makes it easier for the reader to do it.  What is the difference!!!  Just because they didn't know about it, how are you going to know if a reader copy and pastes?

In my frustration with this issue I actually went over to ADF to see what they were saying about it.  And fangirled a little when I saw Lissa Bryan posting there about the issue, not going to get me to visit there more often though.
 

I guess I should check also.  But i still can not get TWCS to send me updates on my favorite stories.  Only new stories posted by fav authors.

To get TWCS to give you updates on fav stories and not just new, you need to add the story itself to your fav list. Just adding the author will only give you when they add a new fic.

Oh Lord! Someone called me 'hostile'  OK I'm not going over there again, I've responded, which I shouldn't have, but now I am not straying from the safety of this wonderfully, sane thread!  God I just hate stupidity!

Ok, I'm in the market for something new to read.  After reading Allegiant (Divergent #3) I guess I need light on the angst and heavy on the schmexy!  So, some questions...

Does Comp Sem 101 have plenty of lemons? I've heard nothing but positive things about this one...  funny, sweet, schmexy.

Tropic of Virgo ---  Is he famous in a band or is he a high school kid?

The Blessing and the Curse ---  Is this great?  It's not vampward, right? Lemony?  I'm not really sure what its about but I've heard it recommended here a lot.

There is a Light ---  he's famous in this one, right?   Did everybody love this one?

Virgins and Villains, Sexy Silk, The Man Who Can't Be Moved  ---  Are these all REALLY good or are they just another "he's famous, she's not and she thinks she's not good enough for him"?  I've read that kind of story so many times I'm tired of it, but when its done right it's great!  I'd like to read another Famousward but the last couple I've read haven't been that great.  Just ok.

The Blessing and the Curse is good. Not really much for lemons, but the drama is great. E is not a vamp, but has that dark brooding going for him. It is one of my favs.

Virgins & Villians is also really good and I enjoyed the companion piece to this that was in Edward's POV.
