  • 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:

Yes! That's the one.  I found it on Amazon yesterday.  I looked for it about a year ago and couldn't fine it.  But most of it is available on YouTube.  At least a lot of the good songs are.

I love this version of Cinderella.  I bought the CD for the music, but I don't think a DVD was available at the time. I'll have to go back and get the DVD.

There are some possibilities listed in the how to download thread (link in the first post on the search thread).  There are also some possibilities listed in the miscellaneous post of the Index. **something like grabmybook or blogtobook**

Good ol' FF Downloader in Calibre did the trick!  8)

2. Is there a way to pull it from this website into a format suitable for my iPad? Maybe a Calibre plug in?
(It's also on FFN, but incomplete - This version has all 15 chapters)

It is available again.  ;)

I tried to watch the version with Julie Andrews.  I love Julie Andrews normally,  but Lesley Ann Warren just did it better.  Um and Stuart Damon was so cute.  Heck I even used to watch General Hospital just to see him.  He aged well  :D

I saw an updated version of this on stage a few months ago.  I've always loved it.
They did a version with Brandy and Whitney Houston a few years ago. It was okay. 

But that must have been fun to see it live.  ;)

It was fun to see if live.  The costume changes were really cool and they did not take things too seriously!

Ella - my kind of girl - I used to watch General Hospital periodically over the years just to catch my Stuart Damon fix.   Then sometime in the 90's I started watching it regularly just to see both Stuart Damom and Anthony Geary.  I essentially stopped watching when they killed off Alan Quartermaine.   I was heartbroken.

My sister was the big soap opera fan. She watched them daily when we were kids. At least during the summer. She went crazy when Luke and Laura got married.  I thought Laura was an idiot. 

I'd watch for a few weeks at a time when they had a good story arc, but mostly I'd get bored.  I like dramas that have an episode that has an ending, with things that carry over.  And when the main focus was on characters I didn't like? Yeah, not so good.  But I was an ABC girl - All My Children, One Life to Live and General Hospital - if I was going to watch one.

I haven't actually watched one in years....  :P

Okay, if you don't count Grey's Anatomy......  :D :D :D :D :D

Wow, haven't watched soaps in years.....but I used to watch: General Hospital, The Young and the Restless, and Another World. Funny how society is critical, at least back then, of house wives that watched soaps, but there was nothing else on in the middle of the day.

Yea GH trust me you can go years without watching and know the storyline.  It used to be good with Luck and Laura , Felica and Frisco etc... but when they went with the mob story line killed it for me.

Has anyone else noticed that the PTS webpage keeps loading? I have this happening with PTS and TWCS stories. I tried to google this for a solution to stop this, as it is annoying, but so far haven't found anything that has helped.


Ok, figured it out. It was an extension that was recently added to Chrome. I disabled it, and problem gone.

My grandma used to watch Days of our Lives and my sister and I used to watch it in the summers when we were little, and then we picked it up again on and off until college, it was amazing how many of the stories you could still follow after not watching for a long while.  But then again people would come back from the dead or have evil twins and that would be really confusing (this was pre-wikipedia when you could just google for an episode synopsis). 

In university the girls in my house also watched Passions since it started the year we were freshmen, but that got weird really quick with the supernatural (and I liked supernatural).

I also watched General Hospital some, but when I was watching Lucky was a teenager already. 

Haven't seen any US soap operas in a while.  When I was first learning German I watched one called "Lena- Liebe meines Lebens" (Lena-Love of my Life), since I would come on 3 times a day at different times (from the Austria, Swiss and German broadcast channels) and I could put the subtitles on to help listen and read the words.  My husband always joked that I was learning words like "betrayal and deceit" instead of useful vocabulary.

LOL! That's funny. Even though it's true.

Yeah, I could probably turn a soap on now and figure it out.  Though I think most of the ones I used to watch are gone now.  Days of Our Lives may be the only one left.  I remember Passions. I didn't get to watch it much. I had to work my way through college. But they had a TV in the break room and the soaps were usually on when I went in there.

Yeah, I sure couldn't watch soaps daily in college between class, work and crew practice especially after freshman year when classes got harder, but it was a nice way to veg without having to think from time to time and someone in the house could catch you up on who was back stabbing who.

OMG I was pretty much raised on soaps. My mom always had them on when I was growing up. Of course, we only had two channels at the time, and they both played soaps, so you just get hooked. I've watched pretty much every major soap that has been popular in the US from the 80s til now, except for All My Children, I never got into it. I'd say my General Hospital addiction has gone on the longest, from the 90s til around 6 months ago. I just got sick of the fake Luke story, and now they are dragging out the Jake/Jason story.

I also grew up watching soaps - in our house it was As The World Turns and Guiding Light.  My mother a couple of years ago claimed she never watched soaps when we were kids because she didn't have time.  At that point, I simply asked how we all became addicted to As  The World Turns and Guiding Light.   She had no comeback.   When I went to college, the one soap I watched once in a while was The Doctors with Dr. Althea - can't remember the last name.  It was the only soap watched in my dorm at the same time As The World Turns was on.   Someone else was usually there with the tv on and you watched what was already on - especially if it was a group which meant majority ruled.   At some point during my varied soap watching, I've also seen Another World, Another World Somerset (with Sam and Lahoma), Peyton Place, Dark Shadows, and several others that I can't even remember the name of right now.   The neighbor across the street watched Edge of Night.   My father when he retired got hooked on Days Of Our Lives for awhile which drove my mother crazy because he'd turn on the tv, eat breakfast and then he'd get up and go do something puttering around and then come back and watch, go an putter and then sit back down again.  She couldn't turn off the tv because then he'd complain and get annoyed with her.  One of the guys at work years ago had a small portable tv on his desk and on his lunch hour he'd watch The Young and the Restless.   Matron - before I forget to ask - did General Hospital actually kill off Luke when Anthony Geary retired or did he just go off on one of his wanderings?   I was going to watch in June and July before he left and then didn't.   I was too busy watching Bonanza reruns.

He just left again.  Nothing to really set it apart from all the other trips he took over the years.

So they can get another actor, say Luke had an accident and needed plastic surgery, and have him just show up again?  I love that about soaps.   ;D
