  • 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 had my last baby at 43, with one pregnancy scare after that. Since the last one almost killed me with a stroke after he was born, that last pregnancy scare was really scary.
Wow, yes, that was not good.  I'm very glad you survived that.  My sister had her last kid around 40 and almost didn't make it either.  And none of us were there because my younger sister was getting married a few states away when she went into labor.

Yeah, I got married late, so no kids.  But being as how I had endometriosis, it was unlikely I would have actually had any without help.   ;D

WOW FFG, that is scary.  With my first child, my husband was asked by my dr who he wanted him to save me or the baby.  My husbands response was both but the dr explained that might no be an option and he had to make a decision.

Wow, you too? I had the same scare with my first. Well, as I was rushed to the ER, the Dr told my husband there was no hope for the child and they were gonna try and save me. Well my son will be 22 next week. The second son was a planned c-section. I can cook em fine, just can't have em.  ;)

Yeah it was scary,  He was 2 months early I had severe pre-eclampsia. After my son was born the head dr of the nicu told my husband that they did not expect my son to make the first 12 hours of life and that he was going to go tell me this info.  My husband threatened him and told him that if he told me that after what i just went thru he would rip his F'ing head off his shoulders and shove it up his a$$.  After the delivery it took them 48 hours to get my bp down to normal so i was in icu recovery had not seen my son yet and no clue what was going on since i was so out of it.  Needless to say he is now a normal, smart mouthed, back talking, stubborn, testosterone raging 10 year old boy and i would not change it for the world

bbluefox - honey, you have GOT to start using the thank you button.  You have 20 posts, almost all of them asking for help and you have given no thank yous to anyone.  It's easy to do.  Just click the thank you button in the upper right hand corner of the posts that help you out.  People here are working to help you, you can take a second to click the button to thank them for their efforts.
I really love how you police all those rude posters who never say thanks and only come back when they want more.  This is not to say there are that many of them.  But definitely enough to take the fun out of looking. 

Thanks!  :-*

And ficfangirl is soo right! I hate it when I look up a story, post my suggestion and never get a feedback if it's the right story or not. It's wasting energy, because others keep looking...

Nope, I don't normally.  A OS here and there.  So it is not in my Calibre library.  I have pretty much all completed, stated B\E and stories with reviews over about 900 or so.  But I also started grabbing all completed stuff over 1K words when I found out about the Calibre grab a whole page thing.  Before, that, only B/E and the whole gang stuff. 

I have way too many fics in my library.  No wonder it crashes LOL!  :D :D

Thanks!

oh Ella,  I am so jealous.  I wish my calibre was as organized as yours.  I have over 17k books and let me tell you i gave up trying to organize it.  What i can figure out is why Calibre catches some metadata and misses some.  Drives me crazy

*takes a deep breath and clears throat*
Good morning ladies!
I have a confession to make: I'm a lurker. Since about 6 months I'm a constant lurker in here. I read every post in #3 and I'm catching upd with #4 (at page 50 of the thread at the moment).

So, I have the strange feeling of knowing you, but nobody of you knows that I'm lurking, cracking up with you, lusting after Rob with you and grabbing your fic recs greedily on a daily basis.

Err...yeah...I'm a little nervous now about your reactions, but I try to concentrate on work and wait for the next post to come. Have a nice day/night!  :-*
Are there any questions left? Ask me!  :D

Welcome to the Far Side! You're not a lurker anymore. Whoohoo! I've got all the BDB and Lorelei James books safely hoarded but not yet touched. May have to move them up on my TBR. *sigh* Oh, and thanks for reminding me about Cutlass in your top picks. I keep meaning to read that since I really like TKegl's writing.

Anyway, after those incontinent moans I found yesterday, now I found a very skilled Edward:

"His tongue slips between my lips, and begins messaging mine."

So, morse code?  :D

Anchalee, you pick the best books to make fun of. I love it, so please keep sharing!

You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login
Re-read. I don't do that either. There are waaaaaaaayyyyy to many on my TBR list for that. I have re-read 2 in all my years. A one-shot (In the Flesh) and a drabble named Sin by Mamasutra.

I loved the DTE entry In the Flesh. If there was something to reread, then that would be a good one. Shame it was pulled from the contest, but glad to know it was Hoodfabulous who wrote it!


Limomx2 and D_D…I totally agree about Real Life of EA Masen…just seeing that you're reading it makes me chuckle. Humor is so hard to get right.

FFG and Limom, Glad things worked out with your kids. Ella, like you I've never been pregnant (did have a scare once like Booked just did). Now I'm almost 40 so it doesn't look like kids will ever be in the picture for me. Kind of depressed about that. No husband or prospects either. At least I still have my books and can always chat a little here to vent.

It will only get the metadata on ePubs.  So, what I did was convert my mobis to epubs, use ffdownloader's find URL from story, and tried to redownload them all.  Since a lot had been pulled, only a few worked. So I am missing a lot of data.  I did tell that one to pull the whole thing new rather than update chapters only.  I did it because the original mobi would not have been changed and I would get the metadata, though it would be missing chapters for all those stories where the writer left only the first chapter or two up. 

I also found Count Pages only works on Epubs.  And I have close to 800 with no metadata still.  I also haven't looked through all the PDFs I have loaded on my WIP library that I haven't verified are complete.  It is a lot of work and I usually only have time to do it when I watch TV at night.  So maybe about 20 at a time?  Though football season is starting, I can watch games and do it maybe.  Though I usually clean while I watch football.  Instant replay is the best!  :D :D :D

I got married at 41, we dated for about a year before moving in together.  But I really just lucked out, he moved in next door.  Of course, living near a military base there was always a good chance of meeting a nice guy.  Unlike when I worked in the fashion industry and all I met were gay guys.  LOL!  So there is still hope.   ;D

I agree with you Anchalee, the least someone can do is tell the suggestion poster whether you had it right or not...I'm too slow off the button to be much use over there, couple that with my Alzheimer's....

This is a strategy I have never thought of! Move near an army barrack! Ella you're a genius!! There are a number in the London area...I'm off to investigate, not moving because, let's face it...that's a bit drastic and London isn't that big, but frequenting the local bars around said barracks...PK this might be the answer to our single status.. especially as ....* peeps from behind sofa* I think I might have outgrown my Pretty crush *ducks!*
