  • 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:

Guess I'd need that label, lol! I have two calibre libraries. My real book library is linked with dropbox, so it all goes straight there, and my Twific goes into google drive. I pull it into Calibre with the ff downloader, and it's SO easy.. TOO easy!

See!  It's statements like that.  They suck you in and before you know it, you're grabbing everything off ffn with Calibre.  Then you have to start on TWCS and Twilighted!  It's dangerous!  People should be warned before they catch the fatal Calibre disease!

LOL!  Yes! Are you a reader, a hoarder, or both?

I am both. I use Calibre, Fanfiction Downloader, and Flagfic. I may have been banned in a nice way from storymaster.  :57:

Ella - You know I'm both.  But I've become much worse on the hoarding front since you infected me with Calibre disease.

*snerk* I even went so far as to buy the Calibre Companion app for my tablet, so that everything in my calibre is right on my tablet at the press the screen. still learning my way around that one.

I never did drugs, but I definitely feel like a pusher um, I mean enabler. ....yeah, enabler when it comes to calibre.  It's so easy to get pages and pages of stories.  Sigh. 

And now I have a real ebook library, WIPs, completed fics, and a TWCS so I can have both ffnet's version and TWCS version.  ;)

OH NO!  Don't tell me any more!  I'm still organizing as it is.

Well, that last library might be a little bit my fault...but all I did was ask a question!

I got this for my tablet but it doesn't seem to want to connect to my Calibre library.  And I don't really have time to play with it. Plus mostly I read on my kindle.

I'm really trying to fight off the urge to hoard!   I've got like 40 fics on my TBR list and I know they are all good ones because of all the awesome recs here!  I keep telling myself that I must read at least half of the list before I add anymore.  LOL   Hmm, maybe instead I should just promise myself to keep it at 50 or less?    Notice how it keeps getting longer?  ;-)

My problem is I started feeling guilty about all the real books I wasn't reading. My twific list read was growing, but my real books list on GR wasn't, so first I took a fic break, then I added a bunch of my read fics to GR, lol!

No, it is a good thing.  I liked having both versions of stories.  My Kindle prefers the ffnet versions without the pictures.  But I really like having the pictures from TWCS for my tablet. 

Now I'm a little worried I may have over-written some things.  Oh, well.  I think I have a fairly recent backup.  I'll just have to create mobi's of completed stuff before updating again.  It won't over-write the mobi's  ;D

it will start slowly....next thing you know, stories you want to read are disappearing from ffnet and TWCS.  People give you PDF's but you can't get them to be readable on your Kindle.  Next thing you know, you have 8+ GBs of stories (over 20,000 at last count) in your Calibre library.  (we won't mention the 27 GBs I have in the old fanfic folder before I discovered Calibre's lovely abilities.....) :-[ ::)

I will note that the ePubs take up much smaller space on my hard drive than do the PDFs.   :NeenerNeener:

Real books?  What are Real books??

That concept is foreign to me.  You mean there are books where the hero isn't named Edward? And doesn't have a faint resemblance to Robert Pattinson?  Really??

Sigh, I have a few mysteries that I've bought in the last year or two....still waiting for me to read.  I pick them up try to get into them.  And never get past the first few pages.  And these are by my favorite authors.  It is crazy.   :banghead: :banghead:

I still only downloaded calibre on my laptop but have yet to put anything in it!  Right now I have my 1000+ stories saved in iBooks as pdfs and epubs. 

If I DL the Calibre app can I upload the stories I already have to Calibre?

Yes.  But the real beauty is when you get it all set up so that it pulls things like chapters, pages, ratings, summaries, etc...  All nice and automatic.  I still need to add whether I read it already or not and whether it is on my TBR list or not.  I also have a Type of Edward and Type of Bella column.  But it is slow work getting all those done.  I don't think iBooks lets you do that.

I'm reading this discussion with my fingers in my ears singing lalalaalalllallaa!

Ignorance is bliss - and saves a fortune on hard drives!

The sad thing is my hubby put Calibre on my pc - just like Ficfangirl's for no reason but to tempt me.  I will not eat the apple!   :P

Based on what you have told us it sounds like a match made in Heaven!

Your Hubby might want to put it away in public in future though before you can't talk your way out of it!   :D

I love the stories of your sexcapades though.  Keep em coming - literally!

Hey, little girl, how'd you like some candy, um Calibre.  LOL!  Yeah, I get not trying it.  I had it on my computer for over a year before trying it with fanfiction.  But then, the original version? Didn't download all the good stuff. 

Mostly I used it to remove the DRM from my Kindle books. Though I don't think Amazon will disappear anytime soon? There are a number of companies that have & the books are now unreadable because the programs to read them are gone or don't work with the new computers. I paid a lot for my books & I should be able to read them forever.  Just like a real book.   ;D

Haha - you are giving off the creepy vibe from the other side of the World - I have warned my kids about stranger danger!   ;)

If I had paid for something I would feel the same.  I have an attic full of books I read as a child which I wouldn't part with - I have let my children read them but, stand like a hawk over them in case they damage them in some way!  Kids nowadays have no respect.
