  • 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:

RL books? I have 3 words for you, The Bronze Horseman, buy, borrow or pirate *coughAstrocough* now and READ!

It looks like it's a trilogy.  Have you read all three? (The Bronze Horseman, Tatiana and Alexander and The Summer Garden).  I'm wondering if the third book is actually concluded or if it's left open ended for anther book.

This sounds like me with EP.  I put it aside and found I could read other stuff.  I'll get back to it.  Only because everyone tells me I have to read it.

But really? I think it may be like reading Torn or Wisp in one go.  Just not a good thing.

So maybe take a break?  And come back?  Pretend it's a WIP?  I remember it was very popular as a WIP.   ;D
Ella if I leave this story I will NEVER come back, I have to persevere and hope FFG is right and it get better...674.2/1900 and counting...

Demaris you always have the best recommendations...   I bought the first book when it was on a hot deal a while back and I have never gotten around to reading them.  Aren't they centered around a really depressing war environment or something?   I am scared to invest so much time for it to end up non-HEA.  ;-)

The environment makes for the most heartfelt, unforgettable love story you'll read in a long time, trust me have I ever steered you wrong?  But here is what I want to know, if you worry about the end of a story ( HEA, Non HEA) before you even start doesn't it limit your immersion into the tale?

Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.
I LOVE these books...I have read a lot in books in my time but very few have touched me like these; I'm petrified because there is always talk of a film being made and the thought makes me feel nauseous.


EDIT: Shit, just writing that makes me want to go back and re-read these books again, shoot! And I only have This is Who I Am to try and hold my wondering attention, it stands no chance!.... :D

This is my last post before I start to annoy everyone but I thought I better let Astro (or anyone else who's interested) that I'm giving my hubby away for FREE!!  >:D
I went to the gym to today so me and him could have lunch together as the in-laws had Saxon and my daughter was with her Dad.
Anyway, I get there to find out that he bought a new guitar off of one of his clients.
Which is fine but then he starts to sing Mr Big - To Be With You in front of the whole gym to me.
He knows I hate that song. >:(
So I wanna give him away - it doesn't even have to be to a good home, just as long as I don't have to look at him for a while as I know he will at some point soon sing it again just to p*ss me off.  >:( ;D

Ha! That is one of my favourite drunk-around-a-campfire-sing-a-long songs!

I think every boy I have ever met knows how to play that! There must have been a class back in about 1991 that told boys it was a dead certainty to pull chicks if they learnt how to play it on a guitar!

This is the other one:

WAIT! HOLD UP! Loopy's Husband is a trainer?! How did I miss that? Or was this revealed while I was away? Hey, all that sister wife  :poo: is out the window I am NOT sharing! :sign0135: And I can 'take' Astro, :021:  let me tell ya!  Loop i'll keep him until you're back on your feet after the baby...I'll give him back post 6 week check, to help you 'lose' any baby weight (if you have any that is)

Loopy doesn't need 6 weeks to recover.

Maybe 6 minutes, if memory serves?  ;)

I should warn you, Yoga Queen, that boxing is my workout of choice.

Well - I would choose a workout my like RDMickey's but those aren't an option at the moment.

I think I'm just gonna let you ladies fight it out between yourselves and I know I shouldn't have favourites but if I had to put money on someone winning this fight it would Astro. :o

Sorry, but she's been without for a while.  :P
Love ya really Astro  :-*

Yep - I have fire in my belly!!!

I will pinch.

And bite.

And pull hair!

Do I remember you saying that this Aussieward is even better than Jack Henry from Beauty From Pain?

Wasn't me, but I remember searching for (and finding) Beauty From Pain after reading that rec.

Yes I've read all three books. Actually there was quite a gap between reading book2 and 3 as I didn't expect a third, I thought the story over...I stumbled on it by accident.

The difference is we don't have a choice. Hubs travels the world. He is home most weekends, but sometimes he is gone 2 weeks or so like heading to brazil in a month. Those times he gets home, it's pretty carnal. After the 3-4 times in a row, he will wip out those little pills the doctor gave him to try. He wiggles his eyebrows and I moan cause there will be no sleeping for me and my hips and my whoha will be talking to me for days. 

I knew I had always been flexible and did gymnastics growing up. When a physical therapist diagnosed me hypermobile a few years back, hubs likes to still see if I can get in some positions. I can even at my age, but my joints talk to me later.

So my life is work M-F (12-14 hr days) and come home to f*ck 2-3 days. Then the week is over. I am only getting to chat now cause hubs fell asleep in the recliner after barely letting me in house before stripping me.

Yes I consider myself lucky. Most get divorced these days, and hubs and I are probably closer now than in the past. Relationships are cyclical. There were times we weren't as close and now all the children are gone, we have time to re-explore each other. I can say reading ff has helped me a lot too over the years. I mean if you have never tried something, how do you know how it will effect you? Reading lets me know when I start twitching its time to try.  :)

Stop making the rest of us jealous!!!!!

Has anyone read This Is Who I AM by Pattyrose? I am really struggling; it's taking all my non-flounce skills to keep at it and I'm only 340.4 /1900. I'm hoping someone tells me to keep at it as it gets 'oh so, so much better' F*ing hell it's hard going. The writing is better then IBAIINE but who cares!

I love this fic - you're not into it by now hun, you're probably not going to enjoy it.
I even think Maddie (Bella's Daughter) is lovely and that's saying something as most kids in fics drive me nuts.  :)

OMG :omg: A Geordie Personal Trainer?!..Be still my beating heart! Does he have brothers? Sorry Ladies if you've all been on this roundabout before but, since I've been back, all you ladies have  done is talk about is fics, fics, fics! No one, and I mean no one mentioned that Loopy was married to a Northern personal trainer, you ladies have been hiding all the good stuff!   :D :D :D

A couple of pages back someone said men peak too early. After 24 years of marriage, I don't agree with that statement. I can remember when we got married and hubs was 23, he would be lucky to last 5 min and that's if I never even choked the chicken. Hell, he'd be done before I ever got up to bat. Now knocking on 50's door, the man exhausts me. He isn't satisfied unless I have at least 1 or 2 before we ever even start (no matter how long it takes). Then another 1 or 2 before he finishes. He actually loves to utilize toys too, so thank gawd he is not home during the week. I need my rest!

Hubs isn't a personal trainer but he lifts 3 times a week, and runs 2. My only workout..... Well.... is hubs.  :D
He usually tells me that he did his special abdominal exercises. The ones to make sure his thrusts and gyrating don't tire out.  :o

So for the younger crowd, don't give up hope. After 25 years, we have finally found most of the triggers that send us to defcon 5. But you both have to be vocal on what works and be willing to experiment. He lasts for quite awhile now and has the patience and tolerance to make sure I have many before he reaches his. Heck he asks about once a month if in all my reading have I read something I would like to try. Sometimes that answer is "come here boy and follow my lead"  :)

But noooooooo. There is no complaints here.

That may have have been tmi. But I think we passed that point over a year ago.  :-*
See RDM has a better sex life than me and hun, there's no such thing as TMI on here!!  :)

I think you're right hun - the hubby always plays this on the guitar but at least when he plays the drums or piano he makes up for it by playing something by INXS, Green Day, Foo Fighters, Ray Charles.  ;D
