  • Hi! I'm Ellachanted and I'm a fanfic-oholic.
Thread #7 - We are crazy talkers here! Join in the fun!

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 can tell you hun after literally just finished re-reading (for the umpteenth time) both the FF and published versions that the sex isn't explicit at all in Dusty. I love that you've put it on you Mum's Kindle, I've tried to get my Mum to read it many times and her latest excuses is that the tattoos of the quotes I got from Dusty (got them last week) have put her off slightly.  :P ;D

I think you've shown your love for Dusty even more explicitly than Demaris.  I wonder what she'll think of your Dusty tattoos.

Lol, I'm glad that these weren't my first tattoos as they hurt the worse as they're on my groins.  ^-^ ^-^
So I might of gone slightly above and beyond showing my love for Dusty.  :D

It's the pleasure/pain principle at work when I get tatts and the hubby wasn't too happy that we should wait about 10-14 days before using that area again, but that didn't last more than 3 days (that was more than long enough to wait :P)  - no pain, no gain.  :D

Can't say it surprises me that you chose not to wait.  Well, keep it clean.  You wouldn't want an infection.

I had a look to see what Amazon was selling for there Prime Day and like you hun, didn't find much of interest.
But that's a bargain for the Bluray/DVD of FSoG - hopefully you don't forget to watch it hun as it's a lot better than the trailers made it look.  ;)
I will probably watch it after all my studying is done.... 

I was originally going to wait until they were all done - or at least 1 and 2 - because I really like Part 2 the best. And there is an ending to the second part in a way.

On my daily sales thing for Kindle books, Shay Savage's Offsides is available for 99 cents.  (USD)

The trouble is that it ends of a cliffhanger and we have to wait until 2017 for FSD.  :( :pulling

See? To me? This was stupid. The longer they drag it out, the older the actors get. And things happen. Think of Mark Hamill's car accident. He went from really cute in the first Star Wars to kind of ugly in the next.  No competition at all for Harrison Ford. Or Chewey.  :D :D :D :D

Dakota is known to have drinking and drug problems.  Well, I guess it will be what it will be.  ;)

She is?  She seemed so sweet on the talk shows when they were doing press.

This is what I have heard.  She has gone to rehab.  It was a while ago.  If a while ago can be when she was 17.

When you think about her parents? They both have had alcohol and/or drug problems.  They say addiction does run in your genes.

It makes little sense as FSF comes out in 2018, so the last two are less than a year apart (I think it's a day less than a year as, FSD is out on the 10th Feb and FSF is out on the 9th Feb).
I would of thought they might of released it a bit like Twilight or The Hunger Games - a film a year(ish) but considering that quite a few of the crew have quit due to problems with EL James etc, I'm sure that didn't help the release date.

I didn't know Dakota had drink/drug problem but it doesn't completely surprise me either.

I just remembered that they talked about it when casting her.  I guess it was a worry.

Which, of course, doesn't mean she isn't a nice person.  Just maybe not so reliable? :-\

Yeah, I've heard all sorts of negative things about EL James.  How much is trying to keep the story close to what made it good and how much is just ego, I don't know.  I do know I got really p*ssed off when I watched Sum of All Fears with Ben Affleck.  I didn't so much have a problem with him playing the part, but at the time? He was too young so they changed the whole story to fit.  He should have been married with kids.  There was a bunch of other things too, but that was the one I really remember. I think his boss had died in the prior book, but he was alive in the movie. 

And don't get me started on the changes to Twilight..... LOL!

So that is why I wonder how much is keeping the story close to the book, which is what a book lover wants and still making it watchable.  I'm kind of good with that.  ;D

Because I think the HP movies were close to the books, but they were really hard to follow.  I read the books long before I saw the last 4 movies, and I had a hard time following because I didn't remember the story.  :P :o :D :D

ok that's good.  I couldn't remember anything super graphic.  The story will have her tore up like it did me so I probably shouldn't leave it on there. Lol

Awesome that you got a tattoo.  Which line did you use?

Keypad - was it you who was reading Still Alice?  I found the following on my homepage news a few minutes ago.  Thought I'd share.



Families hit by rare early Alzheimer's push for research

By LAURAN NEERGAARD  -  The Associated Press

WASHINGTON (AP) — The rarest form of Alzheimer's ravages generations as families pass down gene mutations that trigger the disease in people in their 30s, 40s or 50s.

Now, ahead of a major Alzheimer's research meeting, dozens of these families met face to face for the first time, and asked government and drug company officials why it's taking so long to find a good treatment.

Alzheimer's usually strikes older adults, and the toll is growing as the population ages.

But these rare, gene-affected families hold crucial clues to fighting the brain-destroying disease in everyone.

Alzheimer's brain damage begins decades before symptoms begin. Scientists now think the best hope may be taking experimental drugs early to stall, if not prevent, that damage.

Gene carriers destined to get sick are part of one major study.

There's quite a few changes between the book and the film but it's watchable enough if you don't really try and compare them - easier said than done.  ;D

Lol, I know what you mean about the changes on Twilight, actually there was so many in all the films that I'm pretty sure that no bothered to read or even skimmed the books to check details.

Lol, I'm always trying to get my Mum to read stories that had me a wreck during/afterwards and beyond (or in the case of Dusty before I've even started reading it) but she hardly ever falls for it.  :P

Cos of where my tatts are they aren't at the top of my quotes list (but I still love them) but for lack of room ( :P) I went with:
Love is fucked up, but love is all there is.

Just got back from seeing Magic Mike XXL.  That film is hilarious!  I don't think I've laughed so much since It's Complicated with Meryl Streep.  No one here even mentioned the tip of the hat to Twilight in the movie!  It's definitely better than the first one.  The first one was almost painful to watch anytime they were doing anything other than dancing.  This one has a few painful moments, but overall it's really funny.

Ella, Thank you for the advice using calibre.... I can now read some stories that I've had for a while but their format was soooo bad I could bare it!
When you work out the 'L' thing - and I know you will - let us know.   :-*
