They're both nearly as bad as shutter/shudder.
Hi just joined and I know I know I should post it on the recommendations board and I have with no luck! I love twific but seriously getting tired of the same personalities different stories. So I need recommendations for a Bella that's confident and DIFFERENT Alice and Rose characters. Even bashing those 2 would be wonderful. If you have any suggestions please help!
Hey everyone!We are all familiar with fanfiction, right?But what about when the original author writes a fanfic from her other book?I was really enjoying Sara Dessens books. So im reading the second in a row ( ive read her other books before, but im not sure if it was in a row).Anyway, its the same book!! Different plot, but basically the same stuff and behaviour in both books.I would be loving these books if i hadnt realized this. They are cute and swoony, some minor angst.How do you get away with this? Too many smiliraties in those books. Ive read Saint Anything (realeased this week) and now im reading Along For The Ride.
Wow, I didn't know that a published author could get away with that. Why would a publisher even agree or want to publish it?
Im guessing the Publisher didnt realize. Maybe she has a new editor?Along for the ride was published in 2009. Im guessing the author is counting no one would read both books in the same week and notice the similarities.Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.
She did it because it was a successful format. And she may have not realized it was quite so similar. I used to read tons of Harlequins. Betty Neel was a favorite. Her stories were primarily nurse/poor girl in bad circumstances/shy girl bullied by family members meets handsome Dutch doctor who falls in love with her immediately but gives her time to realize she is in love with him. Now if she actually used the same wording? Hmm. Can you plagiarize yourself?

yeah, i get sticking to a format.but it reads like an echo. Im going to check Betty Neel! thanx
It's hard to answer this one. Part of fanfic is that the characters have a certain personality that may be exaggerated (crazy shopaholic Alice) My favorites tend to have Rose as a best friend. But there was one with Victoria as the best friend. You are not allowed to view links. Register or LoginThis has an Evil Alice. And a fat Edward. You are not allowed to view links.

That's the tricky part isn't it? I mean in trying to contruct my characters, Alice (to tak your example) is almost the hardest one to develop because without her ability who or what is she nd is she tolerable? The shopaholic thing is understandable, but the power that most people give her? eh.....
I've read a few where Bella comes in and says why the heck are we allowing Alice to run our lives?Of course, in those stories, Alice is usually overdone. She makes everyone do everything she wants because she s"sees them doing it. She picks the clothes, the places they go, when they hunt, and everyone just goes along because it is easier than fighting her.

I FLOVED IT!!!! I wanted to pound my head against the wall, throw my kindle out the window, and various other aggressive outbursts... But I ate it all up, every word!
Anybody who saw the theatrical release watch the unrated version of Fifty Shades of Gray? If so, is there much of a difference between the two versions?
I've decided to read my first MM romance... I really love the forbidden love kind of stories so I'm thinking maybe I'd like one of the MM books. Do you guys have one that you recommend trying first? Preferably without a lot of angst (since it will be my first one, I need to ease in! LOL) and also prefer one that does NOT involve fireman/cops/soldiers.I'm considering starting with The Backup Boyfriend by Jaymes.You are not allowed to view links.
