Yes, I think you could. She didn't start posting WWS until something like chapter 11. By that time your friend may want to read it.

I enjoyed reading them both together, but I had already read quite a few fics by then. It would be nice for her to have the option in case she wants it.

For those of you that read Words With Friends...   Do you think you can read it without reading Words with Strangers at the same time?  I think that you can, but it's been a while and I can't remember if you'd really miss out on much?  I feel like WWS was mostly just extra stuff and WWF would still be great without it.  Thoughts?

I'm a little iffy on whether I would rec reading melanieintn's Planet Twilight. Can anyone who is abducted against their will truly find love with someone they have no real choice in mating with? That's not the question the author deals with in this story, but it was mine as a reader. The heroine (abductee Bella) thinks she has found her soul mate in Edward (the alien), so the story is about their coming together in a new community that lacks females. In this way it reads very much like a mail-order bride story where females set off to a new frontier to discover a peaceful way of life, far from the bustle of the city. There are biological sci-fi elements which further tie B/E together, which makes the premise less disturbing and the lemons flourish.

[/spoiler] The plot putters out in the middle for far too long with only events and lemons to keep one interested. Almost flounced when the author started asking for reviewers to tell her what to write about. (I HATE THAT!) But I can't flounce so here you have it. If you can get beyond the abductee thing, it has a nice HEA.

I just want to say thanks to Astro and Ella for their discussion about the forgotten Rockward story.

Without them, I wouldn't have realised I hadn't read Maybe by 107yearoldvirgin and I am loving it so far!

Thanks guys.   

I can't wait to read that one!   I started read the first chapter of The Screamers.   Have a question:

Damaged Edward, damaged Bella. Two sides of the same scarred coin. When one side is up, the other is down. Language and lots of it. Lemons eventually. It's a slow burn, slow and painful. Mature. Lots of random pop culture references. AH, AU, ExB.

So far, I am really loving it - and it's very angsty and I think it's going to get even angstier!

I finished You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login a few days ago. I know some of you have listed it as a favourite, but I wouldn't go so high. It was a light, fluffy read but I felt that it actually dragged once the lemons kicked in and then it just become a little silly, with too little plot, too much horniness and A/Ns that were longer (and occasionally a better read!) than the chapters!

There were elements that I really enjoyed - Edward's dorkiness and total obliviousness of social norms was kinda cute - but I won't be reading it again.
