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

I don't know, perhaps there is something wrong with me but I find that I now skim through smexy scenes in ff.  Frankly there are so many administrations‎, shafts, nubs, o's , crevices and emissions I can read before it sends me into a coma.  This is especially true if their are getting their arse whipped while crawling on the floor with something stuffed up their bottom, licking feet.  I think I am suffering from p**n overload.

LOL! I know exactly what you mean.  I'm enjoying High Fidelity partially because 70% through and still no lemons.  They are getting to know each other

Pretty Dark initially

Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.

there is a bit of a whodunit element to the fic and a pretty great twist at the end which carries on into Hungry Light. Nice lemons, not overdone, a bit of angst but again just the right amount. All in all Kiya kicks arse!

I have read Stranger and liked it but liked Grasping more.  Of the list above the only one I've read is AWTFA which is in my top ten fics, and because AWTFA Edward is a British Liverpudlian, he makes my top 5 favourite Edwards....

Thank you!!  So, AWTFA ranks higher for you than Grasping Darkness?     I think you just picked my next fic!   I'm so indecisive! I appreciate when you ladies weigh in on my choices!

Mmmm? It's a close call, but yes, I think so....But they do have quite a bit in common, both have a whodunit element, both have a similar 'twist' at the end (which I've come to realise I like in my Vampfics) both Bellas are pretty feisty and not just stumbling ninnies...You won't go wrong reading AWTFA.

EDIT BTW finished Pattyrose's first fic It Will Be As If I Never Existed (if ever a fic needed an acronym this one is it!  )  Again this is Vamp, alternative ending from New Moon onward (Edward comes back Bella is with Jacob yada, yada, yada) I struggled to read it in the most part, it seemed a bit 'childish' in places and if this Bella cried one more time I'd drain her dry myself! Then suddenly the final 3 chapters were great, the writing was completely different; I had to check a couple of time that I was still reading the same fic! Still, onwards I'm determined to read all of PR's stories and work my way up to The Cullen Legacy.

is anybody familiar with this fic:
Bella is almost dirt poor with twins aboy and a girl. They bump into Esme I think and she's shocked to see the eyes of the kids which are the same shade as hers and the little boy who looks exactly like Edward when he was little. It breaks her heart to see the way they live when she follows them home and vows to get to the bottom of things

thanks

Now I'm curious, I'd like to know which fics complete your top Edward list. After I read your post I tried to complete a list and just failed. It's like I'd have to have categories and then make a favorite E list for each. Badassward, mafiaward, ceoward, docward, actorward, just to name a few, I like them all.

How do I find links to all these contests?  I got the ones above. 

I just don't really like PDF if I can help it.

I have saved the ones that I have so far as epub. I think that's the file type I'll be using from now on - thanks to you and your wicked Calibre skills!

I'm glad that you're enjoying it - everyone seemed so against it when I started reading it, but I really did love it.

Favourite Edward? The one with bronze hair and green eyes. 

My current faves are Aussieward from You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login and Constructionward from You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login. I like realistic, working class Edwards - ones that don't have kazillions of dollars in the bank, actually have to work...and are good with their hands.  I also really like Dilfward from You are not allowed to view links.

Hiya.  Do you know about the Twidatabase. It's a great place to find different kinds of Wards.   You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login

They definitely both have issues. But it takes a while for things to come out, especially for Edward.  And it is a slow burn.  Really slow. Considering it is 200K words.

I will say that for the most part, I really enjoyed it.  There were a couple chapters that were a little harder to deal with than others.  But it is not overly angsty.  As it they have real problems and not a bunch of stuff that keeps happening to them for no reason. My only complaint is the ending.

So yeah, it felt a little unfinished at the end for me. Although neither of them will get over their problems any time soon, an epilogue with a future take would have been nice.  Kind of a, yeah, things are working out for us, sort of thing.

But a good read and there is an indication of an HEA. 

Now I'm reading a semi drabble fic -

I swear, I usually read author's notes, but these are longer than the chapters.....  It is all human.  For some reason I was thinking this was a vampward.  I must be getting it mixed up with another.....

Ohhh...I loved Constructionward in Air. but then I do like Rochelle Allison, her Starry Eyed Inside is one of my favourites, not top 10 but definitely up there in the top 20...And if I'm honest I think it came down a few points after I read her be rather nasty to someone on my one and very short foray into the rather ugly world of Twific Facebook  *shudders  I still get nightmares....

Oh, you hit my favorite working class Edward--the daddyward from ItzMegan73's A Rough Start. Great fic! Loved it, and I absolutely adore the little boy in it. The pair from LyricalKris' The Boy At Table Seven is great also. I think the funniest w.c. DILFward was from Vancouver-Canuck-Girl - The Real Life of E A Masen.

Air's Constructionward was so endearing. I think my fav RA fic though is Brighter as I loved Edward as the bar owner in St. Croix.
