  • Hi! I'm Ellachanted and I'm a fanfic-oholic.
Thread #4 - We are crazy talkers here!

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:

You ladies certainly are interesting.  ;)

I've started to read Controlled Burn and it's taking a bit longer than I had imagined to get to E/B developing, etc.

I'm wondering if any of you share in my predicament of incessantly comparing a fic to a favorite and never truly being satisfied. I feel this way with Wide Awake and High Anxiety. They were the first fics I have read and the only ones to have really stayed with me. Everything else since they has just been a notch above eh.

Anyone else feel this way? Am I reading he wrong fics? Is there such a thing as the "Bible" of fanfiction that some get close to but never quite reach?

Am I rambling?


Yes.

So here's a set pic of Rob from today!

Yes, happens a lot to me.  I usually start a few different ones & if they aren't grabbing me, I usually put them aside.  Unless they are just bad.  Then I flounce.  But if I can tell I would like it if I didn't just finish a great story, it goes back on the TBR list.  Then I reread something I know is good. At least until I get bored.  But usually by that time? I find something I like.

Short  stories of around 30K to 50K words are also good.  If you read a bunch of short stories and one-shots, it kind of clears the brain a bit.   ;D

What if Edward Cullen weren't a 109-year-old-vampire...what if he were 'born' yesterday? When Bella Swan's truck breaks down in the forest one rainy afternoon, a fateful meeting between the two will alter the course of both of their lives forever. AU, OOC

I enjoyed this.  It was a different take on Edward is a vampire.

I'm trying to find one that I loved.  Maybe someone can remember it?  Bella goes to Chicago on business and disappears.  Edward follows looking for her It's been 4 or 5 years at the start of the story and Edward is dating again when he sees Bella at a dinner his girlfriend - I think it was Victoria? - dragged him to.  Bella has amnesia and is engaged to Jake now.   It was a really good story and may have been pulled which is why I can't find it in a search of Calibre.

Is he a little heavier than usual or is it just the camera angle on his face?  That expression makes me think he's either about to get into mischief or he already has.

Camera angle, I think.

He's looking trim in the waist, but buff in the pecs and arms in this one - and adorkable!



But something about this one has captivated my attention:

There are two that spring to mind, and quite fittingly, I can't remember the title or author,  :-[  but the other ladies here are really good at deciphering my rambles so someone might fill in the blanks.

The first one isn't actually amnesia, it's more early onset Alzheimer's or a brain injury, I think. I also think it's a o/s, or just a very short fic, but it is just beautiful.

Bella works in a cafe/bakery and every morning Edward comes in and buys a coffee from her - he thinks she is beautiful, but looks really sad. It turns out that they are married, and he is in some sort of care facility and her life is just on hold because she can't move on. I've read it a few times and every time it just breaks my heart.

Limomx2 remembered it!

The other was read years ago (2009/2010?), and it was very popular at the time. Edward and Bella have just gotten engaged and she is travelling home from somewhere on a train - I'm not sure if E was on the train too. Anyway, there is an accident and the train crashes and, B is never found - everyone presumes she is dead and burnt up in the wreck, except for Edward. She was found and nursed back to health by Jacob, and because she has lost her memory, she has no recollection of her former life.

Here are two more that a quick search found - haven't read either, so would love to know what you think.

Bella Cullen has the perfect life. She's married to the love of her life and she's surrounded by her best friends and her family who've always been there for her. What happens when all of that changes in a flash?

Bella is left to tutor Edward when he loses his memory. Can she put behind all the memories for the boy who no longer even recognises her? Some memories are meant to overcome the sense of time, can Edward regain who he once was?

I do find myself getting disillusioned every so often, usually after reading a spate of average - or below average (or just plain crappy!) - fics, but then I will read something that just blows me away, and I am astounded that something so good is fanfiction!

I consider going back and re-reading "the FF bibles" every so often - WA, HA, Emancipation Proclamation, Clipped Winds and Inked Armour, but I worry that they just won't live up to the memory.

Most recently, the fics that I have really enjoyed have been You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login by Thimbles, You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login by IReen H and, of course, You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login by Lellabeth.

I liked Memoria in Aeterna by americnxidiot. AH - Angst/Romance - Bella wakes up in a hospital with no memory of how she got there. You can get it at You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login.

I really liked Don't Forget To Remember Me by Oliviamk1218 that was pulled to publish as Kahlen Aymes titled The Future of Our Past (The Remembrance Trilogy). The original fanfic is listed in the PTS index.

There was also that great short story where Bella gets in an accident (because her boobs are so spectacular) coming home and keeps asking her doctor (Edward) if he's God. Sweet and funny. Can't remember the name or author.

Yes.

When this happens to me, I browse my P2P folder. It's not a sure thing by any means, but I figure if it was pulled to publish, then there's a greater likelihood that the story will be good. Or I look on this thread and see what the book club recommends.   ;)

After 15 years of marriage, Bella finds herself all alone on her side of the bed. She wonders if her marriage has simply worn thin from the hands of time. Though, nothing is as it seems inside her tangled web.
