  • 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:

Caro, I mostly work from home and go to online school.  Only kids are the four legged kind. My husband is always trying to get me to leave the house.  But every time I do I spend money on stuff I really don't need.  So I'm getting bad about never leaving the house.  But it would suck if I were stuck at home alone with whining kids. My whiney cats are bad enough LOL!  :P

Demaris I totally agree about the inability of some writers to finish.  Catastrophia, I semi understand.  She has finished many stories.  This was just a plot bunny she wanted to get out that she really didn't have time for since she was publishing Breach.  The others?  Yeah, I started a couple of them before realizing they weren't complete and were probably never going to be. So I flounced.  Not worth my time.  ;)

But very frustrating nonetheless. :banghead:

I have no cats or kids but do have two crazy dogs.  I'm home because I'm on long term sick leave.  I have been home for two years now and only get out for hospital or doctor’s appointments.  It’s not as bad as it sounds but I have lost all confidence when it comes to leaving my home.  All I can say is thank God for the internet; I would have gone completely batty if not for that.   :)

When checking out a new author I check to see if they have finished any of their works.  I have been stung too many times by authors who start stories but never end them, it’s so annoying.    >:(

yep, I can't read too long on a computer, e-ink is better for my eyes...

BTW in case you haven't gone over to 152, THANK YOU so much for saving my sanity with finding that story. I spent all of Thursday night searching through 4K stories to located that one with no joy! How much do you want to bet I'll read it now and it's crap!  :D

Ahhhh, OK re AO3, still don't like it though... Semi-graphic sex?! Departure was a sweet story about a woman who met a solider in an airport, wasn't it?  ??? These loonies are just...I have no words, again. Oh. Wait, I have; f*ck off! Idiotic Arseholes. I think I might just mosey on over to FFN and deliver that message personally....
Well, I call it semi-graphic sex when they have anything other than "fade to black"  If the bed moves? Probably against the TOS. The M rating? Is really a PG-13 rating from what I understand.  I'd say if you could show it on the TV, it'd be fine. But you Brits get to see a whole lot more than us Americans LOL!

Let me know how your foray goes.  My one email to the Admin there got me a link to the TOS to which at least 75% of the stories I've read don't comply. I shut my mouth after that, not wanting them to look too closely at my favs.  I also downloaded them all right away. ;)

They should find another way than deleting stories.

They delete stories with thousands of reviews without blinking, it should make them think though... With so many adult readers the should get an adult rating! There are ways to make it safe.

The German fanfic site has the AVL rating. This is for stories more mature than M (BDSM, etc) and you can only read it between 11pm and 5am or if you submit some age verification. No big deal.

Their answer was to open an "adult" fic site. I went there once.  Not really my cup of tea for general reading.  Most of the other sites just post warnings or have you put in a birth date to read. Like that will stop teens from lying.  I don't really want to read erotica, I just want a good story.  And hey, if there's fun stuff going on? All the better. :)

Just a little something I wanted to share.

My 6 year old son is a defender in a local football (soccer) team.  They play every Sunday morning at an extremely ungodly hour, miles away from home.  I just went upstairs to the loo and noticed that his light was on. 
When I went in to check he was sat up reading a match of the day mag.  I asked him what he thought he was doing and he said it helped him be a better footballer. 
It is 12.40am!

Kick off is only a few hours away. 

On that note - Night All.   :-*

I like to read. Sometimes these Twilight fanfictions are better than that original book.

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

Hmmm - you just described me in a nutshell. Not getting any, no life - at least I get some joy out of reading fanfic and chatting with you ladies, and don't feel the need to go in aimless censorship witch hunts!

My issue with this is not (entirely) that fics are being pulled - they are in breach of TOS - but that this group has taken it upon themselves to be judge, jury and executioner. It should be the responsibility of ff.net to police - not some vigilanty group.

Obviously, I feel very strongly about what children are exposed to - in literature, on the web, on tv and in movies, in music - but I don't think it's my responsibility to police it.

You should see my internal eye-roll when parents at school "defend" why their child is not progressing - kids up all night watching tv and movies or on the playstation/x-box, kids never going outside because of electronic games.

I don't have kids (refer to above - not getting any, no life) but can't parents say no? Can't they take the tv/x-box out of the kids' rooms?

We all know how easy it is for a kid to fudge their age if they wanted to read fanfic (I am still convinced that Demaris is a 56-year-old man!  :D) so no matter what precautions are in place, kids will read stuff that is not G-rated. But I think that I'd prefer my kids to be reading stuff than watching actual p0rn or playing games where killing hookers is encouraged.

Maybe I'm naive, but reading just seems a little more ... wholesome (?).

Mind you, if I did have an actual kid, I'd have conversations with them and know what was going on in their lives and discuss stuff with them and at least try to guide them into more appropriate reading materials.

This is my point exactly - your little man is actively engaged in something physical. He is interested and enthusiastic and has goals. OK - he should be asleep, but you checked on him, had a discussion with him, and I bet you made him put the mag away and turn the light off!

I sympathise in advance though - he'll be a cranky little boy in need of a nap tomorrow afternoon, especially if the game doesn't go his way.

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.

Again, this is my life. I guess the grass isn't always greener.

Cara - so sorry that your health is keeping you from things. I can only imagine how this is for you. I have been down just because I still can't go out with friends, and that's mostly my own doing because I don't want to risk eating or drinking anything that might set off my temperamental tummy.

I'm going through my FFN 'alerts' to see if any of my stories have completed and I've not flagged them.....Just in case. You know what makes me laugh? It's when an author takes the time to do a long-arsed character breakdown at the beginning of the story, what quirks they might have, and why these will impact on the story and then 'abandons' the fic after 6 chapters! It's like an elaborately decorated cake that once you bite into it tastes like  :poo:!

6 chapters? It drives me crazy when they have, like 30 chapters and have invested 2 or 3 years, and then ...

And the grand-daddy of them all, the one that guts me every time I do a 'clear-out/check'? Bitter Sweet Symphony by I'mwiththevampires08 This was the first story I read where I came to a screeching halt and found out that some authors are a Wham Bang Thank You Ma'am kind of lover....they leave you hanging with no chance of orgasm; I know, I know I should delete this from my alerts but...its hard to let go of your first.

Yep - I'd give my right nut - and my left - for this one to finish. It is another fic that I blame for my WIPhobia!

I finished Finding My Thunder this morning (and there is a new chapter of Me and Mom waiting for me!). What talent Counselor has! I am so glad that I have all of her fics to read! Me and Mom was my first of hers, and FMT was the first complete fic - she is an amazing story teller! Thank you to everyone who read and recommended! I'm going to ration the goodness and not OD so will be splitting the goodness with some real books.
