  • 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:

Does anybody know if I can force the Calibre FFDL plug-in to collect stories from my list of favorites on ff.net? I'm too lazy to insert over 1000 separate urls. I can't get it to work.

sorry, but not possible  :'(

What I do, is using a firefox addon called Multi Links. There you can put a red box around as much links as you want and it copies or opens them (you have to choose that first) and then I paste them in the ffdl. One more step but just as easy!  :)

I don't know if such an addon is available for the other browsers...

I read this, and I liked. I just want to know why people make Bella so young? She's 18 in this story and it bothers me why cant they make her old enough to drink alcohol. :-\

18 is the legal drinking age here in Australia.

I doubt very few kids even wait until then before they have their first drink. Unfortunately we have a serious teen binge drinking culture.

Here in the US it's 21, but this story deals with mafia, not much but come on why couldn't she make her a college student, she made a HS student.

Ella, i hope she will still post updates for How To Live With a Moviestar in ffn. I don't know if blogs will give email alerts? HTLWAM is one of the 3 WIPs i'm following and i don't want to miss updates.  ???

All of her stories are on the writers coffee shop

There are a few more coming out next year alternate POV and a recurring side character Axton...

Will look for a Famousward or CEOward after these. Hope i find something good

Am sorry but i just have to pimp this series again. I looooooooooooved it. Am about to start book 4 and the first 3 were just awesome *sigh* A bit angsty, as you will already know by the prologue of each book, but damn i like the way she writes. My heart was twingeing as i read the books.  :)

The only thing i don't like is her use of "beside of" instead of just "beside"... “I fell down beside of him”...“He looked relieved and sat down on the bed beside of me.”...and a few typos/proper use of "to" and "too" but other than that, loved it...now on to read book 4  >:D

After much deliberation I opened the envelope we were sent home with on Tuesday - last night, which contained the sex of bump, as I couldn't put up with the hubby winding me up about it.
I was a bit of an emotional wreck for most of the night and quite a bit of today as I found out we're having a GIRL!!! :)

Loopy Loo! Congrats girlfriend *much waving of head from side to side* May she have her mother's sense of adventure...

Don't shoot me, but I think RDJ has the best butt on that page.  Hiddleston looks good too, but it's an odd angle. Oh and  Hemsworth! Our baby moves too fast, and the pic is kinda dark.:(

Fassbender has no ass. It's sad, really, he has pancake butt.

Honestly, I couldn't chose. I'd be happy grabbing onto any of those butts...Fassbender looks better naked from the front...

"And how awful about how 107yearoldvirgin has been treated. I do not understand that kind of pettiness and immaturity in any age....in adults especially. I'm so thankful and grateful to authors for sharing their stories that I just could not imagine acting the way that apparently some have acted towards her (and other authors, I'm sure). I just don't understand. Didn't everyone get their fill of dealing with teasing and bullies while in school? It's pathetic, really."

I just wanted to pop in and thank everyone who was so kind about ... well ... everything. I continually send people to this site for fics that they can't find, and I always tell them what a great group of people you are.  :-*

Has anyone else had ffn remove stories from their favorites list?  I'm not talking about stories that ffn or authors have pulled.  I mean stories that are still on ffn, were flagged by me as a favorite, then was dropped off my list (not removed by me).

That is very impressive.  I actually joined the community of idiots running the Reportable offense group to see what fics they were going after.  My inbox since last night has well over 300 fics newly listed by these gits.  Many of the supposedly offensive fics make no sense at all -  for instance, they have listed You are not allowed to view links.

My holiday job was to clean out my favourites and bookmarks and flag all of the completed fics that I have been following over the last few months. I spent much of this week undertaking this mammoth task - and even made a donation to Flagfic!  ^-^

I finished this little task on Thursday night and when I woke up on Friday morning, the ff.net cull had commenced.

How many completed fics have I flagged this week?

435

Yes - I admit - I might have an addiction problem.  :(

And that doesn't count all of the contest anthologies that I created, not to mention the compilations that I made of all of the one-shots that I had bookmarked to read!

I don't keep anything in FFN 'favourites', for exactly this reason. After that last 'cull' I just flag every damn thing that completes as soon as it does; if they cull an WIP I don't feel so bad because the likelihood is I've not even started it so I won't miss it.

18 is the legal drinking age here in Australia.

I doubt very few kids even wait until then before they have their first drink. Unfortunately we have a serious teen binge drinking culture.

The drinking age in the UK is 18 also, and ditto for the binge drinking problem. I doubt that if the legal age of drinking was older it would make any different...If you can get blown-up in Iraq at 18 then having had a legal drink beforehand shouldn't be too much to ask.....JS.

Yes, as long as they keep it up she'll keep posting.  She mostly posts every Friday but she left for London so I don't know if we are off for a week or not.  :)

You can also get update notices on TWCS if you sign up for them.  ;)

It is against the TOS to put a chapter that is only an author's note.  Yeah.  This is why it's stupid.

Is anyone else following Lost Son? It's now 95 chapters of non-drabble and...well, I don't think she has any intention of finishing it. Her A/N says she's see it as a soap opera which considering Coronation Street ( Think Days of Our Lives with less make-up) has been going now for what 60 years makes me very very scared. Are any of you ladies following it as WIP, is good? My WIPhobia means I've not even glanced at it..

Haven't been following that one but it reminds me of the saga I'm still reading--People Like Us by justginger. I've been reading it online, but with the meltdown at FFN I decided to flag it thinking I'm near the end--only about 10 chapters left. Well, I have 700 pages to go! These chapters are loooong. She even apologized once for a chapter only being 20,000 words! A few days ago I decided to only read a chapter a day and break it up by reading RL books, which I'm enjoying.

Yeah, we've had this discussion many times when it comes to this group.  My thought has always been they aren't getting any so they don't want you to read about those who are. And they are just asses with no lives.  :P

So I download everything I hear about & like. Or really, everything Edward & Bella with others as they come up. Because some of the earlier writers didn't specify characters.  And pretty much only English.  Because though I would love to read in another language, I don't know any well enough. :(

So.... Someone tried to steal my Holy Water at church.

You know... You take your bottle and fill it in there... There is a place you can leave it and you get after the service.

Bonus: this crazy lady asked me for bus money about a month ago. I didnt really believe her, but i felt weird denying her at church.

Her excuse for trying to steal my bottle ( plastic common one) ... Was that it was in the wrong place, she was putting somewhere more visible.  Yeah right....

I bet that has been a well worn convo.  As for them not getting any, I think you are correct.  If I had the time or energy I might be tempted to create phoney accounts just inform them of their unrealised need.   :D :D :D

I download all my fav fics too, not only E&Bs but non cannon's and then there is the HP fandom.  As you can imagine my ff library is a fair size.  ;D

Hubs, who had buggered off early this morning to go play with his friends, just called to say he's bought dinner and will be home within the hour.  Naturally, I have now forgiven him for leaving me on own all day.  ;)

I love it when mine is gone for the day at the weekend - especially when he takes the kids with him!

I ignore all the chores put a movie on and catch up on here and with my reading.

Unfortunately, this does not happen as often as I would like.
