Thanks for the link Loopy. I hadn't read The Guardian article. Best line...."I’m not entirely sure what brooding is, other than a chicken sitting on her eggs. So I’m not entirely sure why that’s considered an attractive trait.”LOL! When you put it that way.... no not attractive at all. I need to find something new to read. Which is funny because I found a couple stories over the weekend that looked good but I don't remember what they were. I did add them to my TBR list on Calibre. The one that has about 1500 stories on it.
So I'm reading this story I found on Twilight Archives called 100 years later. It is supposed to be about the Cullens, including Bella, Nessie and Jake, returning to Forks after 100 years. It is amazing. Nothing has changed hardly. Um, except there are "trolleys" in the grocery store instead of carts. And baseball games last one inning LOL! But she talks about their cars. Alice now has a purple Lamborghini because her yellow Porsche got boring. But it is still in the garage. After 100 years. Though I guess Rose could change out the engine. I have never seen a car last 100 years. Especially not the way they drive. This story doesn't seem to have much of a plot either. Oh well. I'll continue it until I find something better. It is amusing in its perfectness.
I'm guessing that having the same cars after 100 years isn't some sort of social commentary on our dependence on oil to run our cars and the sabotage the oil industry does against other types of cars? Or some sort of post apocalyptic story where they only have what was around before the catastrophe and have to keep them running with what they have?
Have your read any of MandyLeigh87 her fics are ok. ThisIsReallyHapping her fics to. Though my pet peeve is authors who are not from the US writing a fic based in Forks but using Trollies, boots, jumpers etc. Oh and we get a new holiday Boxing day. They really need to get American Beta's. IF I have to google shit i flounce.
Yeah I was reading some fic the other day that gave them Boxing Day and I had to laugh, the differences between the US and other English speaking countries are fairly well known and published, any non US writer who sets their story in the US should just glance over a list before they start writing. Although I did learn a new US/Australian English difference a few months ago - Capsicum Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.
LOL! No, I think she just doesn't have any imagination. And is probably not smart enough to realize things will change. I think she just wanted to write a what happens after BD, which is how this was originally rec'd to me, but knew that if she wanted to put them in Forks, it would have to be 100 years later. I've moved on. I found on of the stories I was going to read. Miss Conception and Mis (ter) Understanding by samekraemer.
Is it just me or is everyone feeling that Fics have gotten just Blah nothing really good popping up when you want something to read.
Ya, I noticed that there isn't as much new coming out, but I still have tons on my TBR list so no worries for me to run out anytime soon. Anyone else having issues with the smileys? I click it but nothing happens.
So, I just saw this. Gotta ask, who will be getting the new book?Twilight Is Getting a Special Re-Release With New Content for Its 10th Anniversary!You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login
I'll be waiting to see what this bonus material is. Any bets on it being the Midnight Sun draft she had on her website once upon a time?
Ella - the site is Bonanza Brand and their fics are really good. They also have links to other sites that have both Bonanza and other westerns if you are interested. Really nice people on the forums.You are not allowed to view links. Register or LoginIf you want recs on authors (and which Cartwright you are most interested in) I can recommend authors.
