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

WELCOME BACK!!! You have been gone so long! I'm on staycation, which translates as lots of reading, especially on this thread, so there's lots I can catch you up on...

I think everyone who read them likes Puddle Jumping by 107yearoldvirgin, The Boy At Table Seven by LyricalKris, The Practicum by TheFicChick, Dear Bella by Lellabeth, Comp Sem 101 by bornonhalloween, and FF95's Edward Cullen, Dick for Hire. If you have not yet read High Fidelity by IReen H, you should. Hopefully there will be a sequel.

There's been talk also about
Starrynytex's Boy in the Red Sweater
Whatever works by Soft Ragoo
planetblue's Deviant (and some on Barefoot in Texas)
Hoodfabulous' Breakaway Bella
purelyamuse's Never Said I Didn't
kharizzmatik's Hide and Seek
the Cullen Legacy by pattyrose
MaryElizabeth23's fic "Pickup Truck"

Rochelle Allison's light and fluffy fics (especially Brighter, Appease, Venture) were discovered by some.

Contest reading is bountiful, esp the Dirty Talkin' Edward contest and TLS Angst contest.

Last Tango in Forks was based loosely on the film Last Tango in Paris and its butter scene was memorable in a squicky way. Video clip was provided. (You probably don't want to see it).

Asking about the fic Dusty will bring out strong opinions (there is a futuretake coming up for FfLL).

I'm struggling through the Lolashoes trilogy, and Ella, when not answering Calibre questions, is struggling through EP.

We all agree Taylor Lautner would be a horrible Christian Grey. Ian creepy eyes is aka Ian Somerhalder. Regardless, we all still talk about FSoG/MotU (and it is apparently the most popular book requested at Guantanamo Bay).

Reading a meadow scene in twific nowadays makes many of us batty. Having copies with banners, if they're available, is better than not especially if The Pretty One is represented. Most of us have NO system in organizing our TBR. Lemons can actually get boring when reading not in WIP format.

A few of us deal with ADD in different ways, e.g. some of us clean and most of us don't. The Fold or scrunch question isn't about sh!tty sheets. Icy Pole will now always remind me of Vampward, but apparently they are popsicles in other countries. A milquetoast is a person who is timid or submissive. A surprising number of ladies are not interested in a n a l, which has been dubbed nal.

Ficfanfirl went to some great sounding concerts and shook hands with Gavin DeGraw. RDMickey went on a fantastic vacation posting fabulous pics, but no Rob P0rn for awhile and Demaris (who I'm just meeting) has returned from the French Pyrenees. Congratulations are in order for Loopy who has lots of news, including a bump and being a thread buster. Right now, though, she needs well wishes as she's in the hospital. (She also took Kellan away for a time, but has him safely in place again).

And PTS news...When posting pics, make sure you are not hot linking and that their width is no more than 450. Also, we're supposed to lock our links.

As some fics have been removed or moved and this just means that if you post a locked link it will take you to the post even if this happens.


Not much, huh?

That is am impressive list and I have read most of them.  You might enjoy Pieces of You by drotuno which has just completed  You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login

Ok so I know we previously disccussed who we would like to play Christian Grey in the upcoming Movie FSoG movie. 

I also know that many of us really are not fond of Ian Somerhalder.  I saw this picture of him and for some reason it just said bad boy to me.  Could be the all black, or the leather looking pants and books,  who know but.......

Ian may have creepy eyes, but I think he would be perfect for Christian Grey.

I was discussing this with a colleague and she suggested Alex Pettyfer - seems like he could work to me. 

I haven't put up any pics as I can't without mucking it up!

Check him out.

I liked Pettyfer in I Am Number 4 and that beauty in the beast film, but I still like Ian for this!

Here's some more candy.

If only he could act!

Is it a necessity in this film?  I'm sure his talents would be needed in other areas!   

I haven't seen him in anything but, he sure looks pretty.

If only he could act!

  My thoughts exactly..

Holy sh!t. I might have to retract my previous statement saying that I don't find him that hot. He's certainly not my usual type (e.g. Johnny Depp), but I've always understood why others have found him attractive, but here he is just wow.
(Also, if you click the picture it will enlarge if it's an attachment).

I've thought he was hot since someone posted on one of the threads a link to a part of a picture he was in.  It was HOOOOOOTTTTT!

So, yeah, he'd make a perfect Christian Grey.....

I guess it also depends on what they do with the screenplay. I'd hate Ian to get trapped in a bad film. Whichever way they go, I hope the leading couple has chemistry. We've all seen this happen to Rob. (I doubt I'm the only one who thought he and SAF lacked on screen).

Yeah, I thought Rob acted like he was attracted to SAF, but she always acted like the shy virgin.  When we know in the book Bella always initiated the kissing.  Or at least always got carried away. It was something that always bothered me. 

Heck, Reese had better chemistry with Rob than SAF did.
