  • 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 flounced The Mighty Storm (dude is in a band, right?) about 25% of the way through (I...um...may have changed it to a twific via Word). It may have been a victim of wrong fic/book, wrong time, I don't know but I was bored with it.
So when you change it to a twific, is it Bella/Edward or Bella/Jasper?  ;D

Yep, lead singer of a band...   she was his friend from childhood and one of them had moved away when they were kids.    It was my first rockstar book so I'm guessing that's why I liked it so much!     Did you do a copy/paste with the names?   :D

Sigh, yes. I would copy/paste the fic into word and then find/replace for the names. I've not done it for a while and only did a handful of fics.

I admit this to no one else but you guys.

Agreed, and I should have remembered that and moved in calibre first...but I wasn't thinking and just moved it all willy nilly

And then? When I realized what I did and tried to move the folder back to the original location, Calibre won't recognize that anymore.

Yesterday I uninstalled the software, wanting to just make a clean start and start fresh but.....after I uninstalled and then reinstalled, all of my info for my other library was there and I still couldn't import. So I created a new library, new location, told calibre where to look and added all files that way but now....it's saying there are 3100 duplicates found. So now I'm thinking that Calibre is somehow seeing all of my books and therefore my additions are all dups, but I cannot see them?

I swear to god, the Tech gods are just trying to make me lose my mind. Because at this point, I just have no idea what to do. Uninstalling didn't work...nothing has.

ETA: I cancelled the dup add and now everything is there! I seem to have an extra 200 fics so I'll need to run a dup check and then really go through everything later to be sure but MAYBE I've fixed the issue

I feel for you, lucylu and Hather!!!! I really hope you can get it sorted out and leave in peace again with Calibre! It's no fun having it against you!  :(

Do I remember you guys mentioning that you hang out on Facebook too?   When the site was down the other day I was wondering if there was a backup plan for our "book club" in case the site went down for an extended amount of time.       :D


 
The site was down? I must have missed that! And thanks for that because I always get all panicky that they block the site at work due to my addiction.

You know me, I love non canon fics.  :)

But sometimes I wonder what the authors are thinking.
Look at that charming summary:

Is it a story to cry or laugh about?

 :D :D :D :D :D

I won't link it. It's a WIP and not updated for 2 years, so... just no.



Wow, I had to read the summary three times alone. Confusing!!!!

You know, Kimkimkim, we could probably do a secret group on FB with the link posted here as a backup

I wouldn't want an open group, as then we might get the crazy lad-*coughb1tchescough* they seem to pick up over there.   One of the reasons I like it here more is because the ladies are so much nicer and, well,grown up.  We can have a disagreement without it getting nasty.  I.e. which is better - clean cut Rob or bearded wonder?

Something to think about.  ;)

Have any of you read the followup books for On Dublin Street or The Mighty Storm.   How about the most recent Lux book?   I've got all 3 of those and have been thinking I should start one of them since I liked the ones that went before them A LOT, but I can't seem to bring myself away from my fics lately...

FB is the devil and for some reason it seems to attract a large percentage of demon FF readers...Last Christmas I made the mistake of thinking a 'group' I found there would be like this, all reasonable human beings able to discuss their love/opinion of FF in a calm, friendly manner.  Jesus! How wrong can one person be! Without pulling punches? They were a bunch of cruel, bullying beetches.  >:(   And cray cray too!  :D

I usually only hang out at the tech support thread and jklly's thread.  She banned a couple ladies for causing problems and deleted whole conversations. It was great.  :)

I of course missed it all. Except the banning part.  :P

Sounds like a good idea to me.  Count me in

I'd be in too! I like secret groups! It's like looking through a window with those weird panes. You can see all the others, but they can't see you. I had a group with a few dear friends on FB while certain pics of a certain actress of a certain director came up. Oh that was such a great time!!!! Seeing the shitstorm and staying in the sanctuary with like-minded people. *sigh* Good old times!  ;)

But mostly I miss all the drama on FB. My RL is too busy to be there very often especially with those bloody time zones. So I have to catch up on the drama when the triggers are sleeping. That's quite boring so I ignore it and go there for the people I really want to meet and talk to.  8)

I'm a 'member' of a TON of facebook groups for fic....but I don't go there often and I rarely post anything.

Except for the non-canon group...they are low drama and mostly for pimping fics, so I lurk a bit there.

I'm not on Twitter but a friend of mind says that's notorious for fanfic drama....as is facebook, it seems. Which I don't really understand...what are they fighting/bullying about? Plot lines? Opinions on fav fics?



I try to stay away from that silly drama. I'm 33 years old, I don't want to be 'around' people who act like they are still in high school.

But...not gonna lie, it can be, at times, entertaining. In small doses. Just a little. But I never 'see' it happen because I'm never there.

I agree with you about staying away from Drama, with that said I can't see that happening if we make it a private group just for us ( not that you said otherwise Lucy  ;)).  I mean, since i have been a member of this wonderful group of ladies I can not recall one ounce of "Drama".  We get along great and respect each others opinions and views.  :-*

I get enough drama over on Goodreads with "real" authors and their fans/family/friends acting like fools, I do NOT need it in fanfic groups too, lol!

Don't we have a group on goodreads already?  I thought I signed up with goodreads because of it, even though it's not active.  If I'm remembering correctly, it could be our back up if the site goes down.

I took the plunge back into Kristen Ashley.  I purposely put it off because the last time I did it, I had to read about 8 of her books before I could make myself stop.  Once I start reading one of her books, I don't want to do anything else until I've finished.  Then I want to read another.  But, as some of her characters say, got sh!t to do!

Which ones are you reading now? She is a bit like crack, isn't she? I need to read the latest Chaos book, but I really liked the last Rock Chick book. My favorite is still Sweet Dreams *sigh* Tate! And Motorcycle Man.

I just finished Creed.  Knight is one of my very favorites, so I need to catch up on the Unfinished Heroes series.  I thoroughly enjoyed all of the Rock Chick books.  I've read the other books in the Dream Man series, but I haven't made it to Motorcycle Man yet.  Her books are like crack (or so I assume, since I've never tried crack), and I just can't stop myself once I start.  I have too much to do this week to do this to myself, but her books have been calling my name all summer, and I just...let...myself...take...a...little...peek. And I was a goner!
