  • 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:

If your debit card has the logo of a major credit card on it Visa or MasterCard, you can select "Credit " instead of "Debit", then you don't have to enter a pin and the transaction is processed through the more secure credit card system.

That sounds like the debit credit cards here. You can use the card like a credit card and the payment just comes directly out of your bank account. Here in Canada I know of 2 banks that offer this, Royal Bank of Canada and TD Canada Trust. The hubby used to deal with RBC and they offered him this, I told him no way! I didn't like that it would come out of his regular bank account.


Anyone checked out Microsoft's Edge? Their newest internet program? I have been using, and I have to say that it isn't bad. I can highlight and copy on ff.net's site, and I really like the reading view option.

Nolebucgrl is pretty reliable so I've been reading the story as it updated weekly.  There's really not much angst in this fic. It's just following characters that we love into their HEA.  There's some sorrow, but there is always some sorrow in life.  You could have started reading this at any time and not been frustrated.
I was going to read it as a WIP but I'm reading (properly) about 20 atm and skimming close to 50 (plus following loads more), I kind of wanted to leave a few (this one especially) to read properly so I knew I had something decent to read in between all my crappy reads lately and sometimes I just need something easy to read in between all my angsty stuff.  :D ;) ;D

Wow, I didn't think that many stories were still updating.   :D

Though, truthfully, I've probably started reading about 20 or so most of which haven't updated in months.   :P

I tried to read The Counselor and I have started to read CSI Seattle.  I don't really like her writing style.  But I guess if you like Counselor's writing, you won't have a problem with Michaelmas54.  It is in third person and a little, well, I want to say dry.  It also has a lot of Britishism in it.  Which was fine for The Counselor, as it is based in England.  But annoying as heck for CSI Seattle. But I have a lot of trouble staying interested due to the style.

But others seem to like her style a lot.

Lol, I know what you mean it wasn't until I checked how many I needed to skim/read that I realised how many fics I follow though there are loads that haven't updated in weeks, months, or even years.  >:( :(

I honestly thought most Twific authors had jumped ship but apparently not, I blame peeps on here or authors recommending fics to add to my TBR list.  :D :D ;)

Starting a story?  Not a surprise. Finishing a story without publishing it?  Now that would be a surprise.  I wonder if she doesn't sell books except those that started out as fanfiction. 

I am not against publishing former fan fiction but she annoys me....if you can't tell.   :P

Yes, I hear you there. I was reading her Cullen's Crew when it was pulled and reposted a few times, then she announces that she was not posting any more chapters and publishing it. I will keep an eye on this story, but I won't be reading it unless it is completed.

I think she had a couple stories pulled for noncompliance with the TOS. But she would then pull it from all the sites. TWCS didn't care since they require readers to certify they are old enough.  But she did it with more than Cullen's Crew.  I would forgive one story. But I remember multiple stories being pulled and published.

What's funny is that I've bought a number of books that I read as completed fanfics just because the writing was good and I wanted to support the author.  And I haven't actually read the non-fanfics versions.  But Silverblossom to me is one of those who barely can write if it isn't a lemon. At least the stories I've read are that way. But maybe she has improved. I quit reading her stuff a while ago.

I don't normally complain because a lot of them are free. It's hard to pay for an editor if you aren't charging for the book. ;)

Yes, I remember her pulling everything and most of it ended up published from what I can remember. Even her completed fanfic stories. I remember Cullen's Crew because it was one of the last stories I had read as a WIP. In the other stories that I have read of hers, I didn't mind the writing, but I didn't like it enough to pay for it.

Not exactly talking about Silverblossoms, but in some instances, it has started to annoy me as well.
One of the rare few....

Silverblossoms hasnt changed that much.  I few months back she posted on facebook that Readers on Amazon were returning her books for lack of editing, really bad grammer.  She laughed at it along with her followers.  She had the audacity to say it was their fault and not hers. It had been going on Since she started publishing.

Can someone explain to me how it is the readers fault that her editing and grammar sucks??

I'm guessing the reviews say she has grammar and spelling problems.  And probably gave her 5 stars anyway because they are all her fan club.  I always find it interesting when you read the one  and two star ratings on free and cheap ebooks.  They always say they can't understand all the five star ratings.  And then you  look at the dates of the 5 star ratings and see that they all occurred the first day or two the book came out. 

But it isn't the readers fault.  :P

This actually doesn't surprise me.  She was one of those who purposefully would pull a story that was almost done and make people pay to read the ending.

I don't understand her "Cult" Following at all.  I had the unpleasent task of matching the fics with the books that was gross enough.  Who likes Lemons like that.  You need bleach handy and some strong antiboitics after you read those. 

All Amazon asked was for her to fix it and move on.

I'm with you on the cult following for her stuff. I don't quite get it.  Maybe someone who likes her stories can explain it?  ???

I admit that after the first lemon? I mostly skip the rest in most stories and books.  But she is one of those "writers" that thinks throwing a bunch of lemons together constitutes a story. Which is does if you read erotica.  But not normal fiction or romance. 

Erotica has it's place. I enjoy the OS's.   But I mostly avoid excessive lemons. To me, it usually doesn't add anything to the story.  But then I also realize that other do like that type of story.  Just like not everyone like the stuff I like.  ;D

I'm probably pickier.  I'm not big into overly angsty stories unless they are well done.  Though angst caused by drugs I usually avoid.  Because really? Are you ever going to have an HEA if there is addiction involved?

I usually like stuff with humor.  Or drama that has funny moments. And an HEA.  I can only read non-HEA's if they are OS's.  I read almost anything in a OS.  ;D
