Thread #6 - 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

This is when I appreciate my job all the more, as I get to work at home most of the time. The only traffic is the cat fight on the stairs.  Though when I do have to go out,  the traffic is not fun.  Though not that bad.  An hour to go 20 miles. 

By the way, The Last Tango - twific version is not a cheater fic.  The movie was a cheater movie. I know Bella didn't have a boyfriend at the beginning. I want to say Edward is a widower?  But definitely not humor.  Have you tried any Staceleo stories? She has some good humor.  There's one with an Actorward and a Baseballward. Mayorward is probably next on my list when I need a comedy.

Thanks! I've read her Curve Ball and i recall i liked that one. I started reading Olivia Cunning's Sinners at the Altar after doing the long-hard-swipe-through-ibooks-and-choose-from-the-books-within-the-section-it-stops

Loved the Sinners! This should help dispel my bad mood 

Will take a look if i have other staceleo works in my ipad and line that up next instead. 

Note: Ella, you have a .opf of Decoy of Reality in your drive. Any chance you would have an epub version? Thanks! 

Huwhaaaat?! "The girl has a boyfriend"... A cheaterfic!!! Arrrgggghhh. Though they are cheating with each other...
    

Am definitely rethinking reading this. Work is angsty enough (that's why i haven't read a fic or book in 2 days!    ). Plus the hellish traffic the past few days (ave. of 2 fckng hours to travel 19 goddamned kms one way!!!) has not put me in a good mood.   

Days like these, i tend to hate the government, the stupid motorcycles, the damned buses, the fckng jeepneys and all the moronic drivers in this country!!!! 

Sorry to vent

Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.

Obviously, i need a humorous or light fic next... 

When I get in that kind of mood, I usually go for a fic that's super light, I've read before and doesn't make me think too much. Parenting Skills 101 and Shadow Guardian by vjgm are good one. And since we were just talking about fluffers, "The Art of Getting Fluffed" by choc and sparrow is a super funny one.

Oops! I'm really screwing up on this.   I will say again, I only got to maybe the second chapter and I really don't remember much of anything about it except for the lemons.   *walks away and hides*

Not to worry, Ella.  When those of us who have read Last Tango in Forks talk, just say "Yes, dear." 

I don't read that many one shots, but I've been trying not to get sucked too deeply into anything since I have too much work to do, so I've been reading a few of the one shots from the latest Doctorward contest.  They're pretty good.

I'm glad you are enjoying Vikings. Travis Fimmel definitely has the most gorgeous eyes! The story gets better with each episode, and season 2 even more so.

Please give Game of Thrones another try. I started it last year when I couldn't get away from the talk. It definitely took hubby and I about 3 or 4 episodes to really understand who everyone was and what was going on. We then binge-watched ALL 2.8 seasons and ordered HBO so we wouldn't miss the most anticipated episode last year.  Needless to say, we can't wait for this Sunday's all new episode of season 4. One last thing...Peter Dinklage is awesome! 

Just got a friend hooked on GOT. He keeps calling me after every few episodes he watches to say " I dont know if I hate you or I love you " He just finished the 3.9 episode.... a real dilly!

Thank you Ella, I didn't know how to access stuff once I clicked on the link. Is it awful that I got mega excited because my stories are saved in there? Lol 

Sorry, I have to nitpick here.  In Last Tango, Bella and Jacob are involved.  She gets engaged while she's meeting up with Edward in the  apartment.  Edward is a widower, though.

F**K! I really have to re-read this story....Ella I wouldn't worry, I claim to have read the whole thing and I don't remember sh!t about it! Is the apartment upstairs from a dance school? At least tell me I have that right?!

I'm with you Ella..I'm not sure I could ever do full time in an office again, I work from home 3-4 days a week and today I 'worked' from Selfridge's shoe department, got a lot done, let me tell you 

I got my GBF hooked on The Real Housewives of Atlanta, cos, ya know, I'm classy that way....Oh and Scandal, which, I suppose, in the course of true friendship cancels out the previous misdemeanour.

I have to go on record and say that this is driving me nuts:
I COULD care less instead of I COULDN'T care less.
It's driving me nuts, I've read countless books and fics that use the first phrase when it should be the second. 

Rant over. 

One word i hate: irregardless

Whenever i hear people saying it with the emphasis on the "i", i just cringe. "I-rregardless of blah blah blah". Specialy here where English is a second language, the way people looove to just have the opportunity to say it during meetings, with a serious, self-important-i-am-smart look in their face...just...noooo, moron!

OK buuuuut, it depends now how it used....I think writers are now using it to 'double emphasis' the lack of caring, does that make sense? "As if I could care less about that arsehole" I already care as little as is allowed and so.......it's a style thing, I think, maybe?......Yeah. No. I'm trying to find allowances but years of the English as a study subject, plus I can hear my own common sense is  saying 'bollocks!" You're right Loopy Girl

If I may, just one more...would of......nails on the chalkboard.

That's almost heresy demaris.   Are you still on Loyalty or have you progressed to Witness and Pepper one of Roarke's old girlfriends?   Never mind - Pepper Franklin is from Imitation - after 45 plus books, the characters start to blend in as to who was in what book.  Thank god for the InDeath wiki.   Pepper is very likable by the way.
