  • 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:

I think they tried to do a call center comedy a couple years ago.  I don't think it lasted more than a month or two.  It wasn't that funny. 

I like watching the house hunting shows, the cooking competitions and the find the dress (bridal type) shows. Because I like looking at houses and bridal gowns.  And I wish I could cook.  Though I watch Hoarders as aversion therapy.  It makes me want to throw stuff out and clean the floor again.   *shudders*  oh wait, *shutters*  :D :D :D
 ;D

I seem to spend a lot of time watching reality TV shows. 

I like Master Chef, Gator Boys, Duck Dynasty, Counting Cars, Gold Diggers and The Deadliest Catch.  I also watch a lot of A League of Their Own.

These are usually on in the background whilst I am reading - Hubs likes them too.

I absolutely cannot stand Big Brother though.

I can't do reality show; no kind of reality shows...Oh wait? Does the Real Wives of Atlanta count? Because I love me some NeNe Leaks! That's the only one I watch and certainly nothing made in the UK! I like my 'madness' to take place as far away from home as possible (can't get any further than Atlanta!), that way I can shake my head, tut and say 'Yanks!'  :D :D :D  :P  :-*  jk!

Honestly Ella, I started reading this story and I laughed thinking 'is someone having a joke? Isn't this the same two characters from Twilight?', then when CG had a go at Anna for her car? I thought 'Oh, hell no! WTF is going on?! Has no one noticed that this is the same two characters from Twilight?' That is when I went online, I was all kind of pissed off on Ms Meyer's behalf  :D :D :D :D though I think her writing is kinda pants I still didn't want her to be plagiarised  :D :D :D  BTW I think Ms Meyer had recently had a nose job? It certainly isn't the honka honk it use to be...js



And it would seem she agrees with the Pretty (and me) that Twilight sucks (Long live twifics!)....You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login
So after she makes millions from it, she now hates it? Yeah, I'm thinking it may be true that she is over it, just like JK Rowling is over Harry Potter and trying to write something else. But I think if she had to do it again? She would still do it.

And really, where would Rob and Kristen be if they hadn't starred in the movie.  Neither has had much film success since.  When you really think about it. Having the money from Twilight allows them to do the low budget stuff they like also.   Yeah, fame sucks.  But if you want to be a famous actor/actress, it's a given.  Change careers if you don't like it.

Sorry, some of the "poor me" stuff annoys me.

And the books were badly written.  But then when she first wrote them? no one thought they were worth spending any more time editing them to make them better. I'm sure the publishers were actually shocked at how well the series did.   And the best part? We wouldn't have all this great fanfiction if the books were better written.  Because it is so easy to write better than Twilight.   ;D

okay, stepping off soapbox.   :P

Did you ever see the American version of Coupling? It was so horrible, and not even so horrible you could laugh at it. It was just terrible. I used to watch the Brit version when I worked in Hong Kong and loved it.
That was one of those I didn't watch.  I usually stick with Doctor Who and the mystery stuff on BBCA.  Okay, BBC's Being Human was also better than ours. 

But it could be those British accents.  Everything sounds better with a British accent.  :D :D :D

I like the house hunting shows, but I really like watching Ghost Hunters. (Hides in embarrassment) I love it when they determine plumbing problems as the culprit or that someone has their wiring set up badly and is causing EMF to make everyone feel 'weird'.

No, no, no.... No Big Brother.  I just find that show so annoying.  I like competitions where they actually have some kind of talent.  I do like Project Runway.  I wanted to be a designer when I was younger.  Unfortunately, the people in the industry are way too crazy for me.  And yes, just like that show.

I haven't really watched Duck Dynasty or the Gator Boys, but I've seen episodes of the others.  I actually like Master Chef.  Gordon Ramsey is actually sweet in that one.

You should watch the Orange County women then.  They are pretty far from home for you.  I watch them though the screaming gets annoying sometimes.  I can't watch New Jersey or Atlanta.  Those ladies(?) don't talk, they yell.  I get annoyed and want to tell them to sit down and shut up!

But then where would the fun be....

You are right about all the above (silly kids moaning about getting to do what the f u c k they like all day, every day, I certainly don't feel sorry for them, neither of their talent is particularity awe inspiring, a Pacino/De Niro the Pretty is not). But does the initial story have to be bad, for the fan fiction to be any good (having never read anything but twifics I'm asking this from real curiosity), what bout Hunger Game fanfics and Walking Dead etc?....

I watch this show called the Haunted Collecter.  He usually finds something causing the problems and then takes it away.  Suddenly there are no more problems with "ghosts"

But some of the episodes? Pretty scary.

Twi is the only fanfic I read, but I don't think the original has to be bad, just a world where authors think maybe there could be more (hopefully better) stories set in. Like all the Pride & Prejudice fanfics. I don't think the original there was bad...

No, no, no! Do not point out any more Wives for me...Atlanta is enough; every time I watch that show I feel like I lose several IQ points..But it's such car-crash TV I can't look away!

But some of the episodes? Pretty scary.

Sometimes the shows can be pretty freaky, which I like. I've seen Haunted Collector a couple of times and wondered if he's just trying to build his own funky collection  :D "Yes, this is the problem item, so I'm going to take it from you and set it up at my shop."   ;)

I've read a few other fanfics from other fandoms and most have been bad.  Now I haven't read much HP.  My thought is that if the writers are teens, the fics will probably not be very good.  They just don't normally have the life experience to write good fics.  The HP stuff that is M rated? I've mostly found it to be slash, which I don't read.  Yeah, no.  At least not HP slash.  I always think of them as kids.  Maybe non-fanfiction slash someday. 

Now if you like slash, I understand some of the Star Trek stuff is well written. But it is usually slash as well.

Picking up on the talent issue - the best thing I have seen KS in is Speak.  Watch with caution though. 
Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.

I thought she might have gone on to great things from this one.

Because the copyright is gone on P&P? Much of the good fanfiction is published for sale. My niece is a big P&P fanfic fan.  But she told me she buys it from Amazon. I tried to introduce her to Twilight fanfic.  I never heard anything back, so I don't know if she liked any of it.
