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

It's pissing because that damn fic can't have more than about 4-5 chapters left to it!! Well, that and because it was one of only a handful of fics that caught me out before my total WIP ban.

See? That is why she's my David Koresh! You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login

David Koresh, really? OK then ......

OMG, I'd completely forgot about TUIB, that is such a good fic it's really a shame she never finished it.
And don't even get me started on A Taste of Honey or Hot Bubblegum by Soapy Mayhem.

A Taste of Honey by Soapy Mayhem is great! I wish the author would finish it. I also wish Within Reach would be finished. I also like Hello Beautiful.

Absolutely. I've even been enticing KimKim to drink the koolaid, little by little; a sip of Dusty, a taste of Slippin and I think I might have cracked it....*whispers* How else do you account for the fact that she's now an angthoor and doesn't even know it.

Now I get it.

Ella - there is no really good reason for you to go to the Twilighted forums. Except for the Find A Fic forum and my thread Do We Know Where This Story Went in the Other Forum (the reason it ended up in Other is because at the time I was only planning on keeping track of Rob fics. That didn't last long - I ended up doing all the categories), the forums are basically dead. The fanfic section seems to have developed some life however in the past two or three months between new fics and old fics that are starting to update again.

I had quit looking at Twilighted for a long time because it seemed primarily geared towards Jacob and wolf pack fans, neither of which grab me. I know there are other stories there. But at the time, I only had the standalone FFDL and most of the stories were also available on ffnet.

Now with calibre and ffdl plugin, I'm hitting it more.

I have never managed to get on with Twilighted and rarely use it.

I only go over there if an author mentions they have a non-edited (by FFN standard) story on there....I use to use it with Flag. but yeah now with Calibre FFDL it's just as easy as FFN. I don't read anything online but if I did their 'screen' would do my head in.

I never associate Yellowglue with anything fluffy, might just be me though. Let us know how your friend gets on with Pennyward. Just thinking about him makes me want to re-read the FaN again.

You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login

Funny you should say that because neither do I, but I think KimKim might mean her lyrical, poetical style... I wouldn't say YellowGlue is Twific 101, but sometimes its good to throw someone in the deep end and see how they stay afloat!

Yep, Demaris is right... I probably should have used a better word! I just meant fluffy as in bee-yoo-tee-ful! Like I could just read her chapters over and over because her words are just so pretty!

You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login

I am sure you are correct personally I find Yellowglues style rather challenging because it always demands deeper thought. I admit when she liked my interpretation of her words I felt all proud and clever like.

And yes, this exactly... I like that her writing requires deeper thought. She's amazing!

What are you slippin' me next! I need a fix in a major way. Nothing is affecting me like Dusty/Slippin... I'm just kinda "meh" about my reads since then. I usually like just about everything I read, but since reading Yellowglue I've been giving out the 3 star ratings like they're going out of style. Please tell me you have something else "lyrical and poetical" up your sleeve that I can drool over.

Oh and thanks to everybody that suggested Fridays at Noon! I had already sent her Deviant by Planetblue but I sent Fridays At Noon too and told her to pick which one she wanted to read. If you guys haven't read Deviant you should ASAP. Seems like it's a hidden gem that doesn't get talked about as much as some of the others. I thought it was every bit as good as FaN, WWF and all those... and a nice length (*snicker*) too.

Both of those are on my TBR list. Good to hear that they are worth reading.

WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! WARNING!

A May to December Romance is not complete and I doubt it ever will be - another author that got us hooked with regular updates and then abandoned us.

I wish A May to December Romance would be finished.

I sent a PM to the author, so hopefully I get some kind of response. I will keep you all posted.

It's almost impossible to reproduce what YG does, and she hasn't written that many full length fics....As I said if you can stomach the subject matter Light and Wine has her stamped all over it. But knowing you liked Jellicoe Road then maybe The Mirror by Adorablecullen and Sleepers, Awake by Feisty Y. Beden. In Places No One Will Find by carrie.wilson be warned this is not HEA in the traditional sense

Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.

(for which this poor author got flamed off of FFN, which just pisses me off) but, you know me, don't give a

about HEA and it's really well written. Mark of Beauty by danieller.one.two.three I'm not a huge vampward fan but this is one of my favourite next to AWTFA, it's not as well written as AWTFA, but I like this story's concept. Spirit to Flesh by Littlewings2, A Quiet Fire by Magnolia822. Did you read Youth Without Age by Goldenmeadow? So well written I can't stand it! I know I recc'd it but I can't remember if you read it already or not. I enjoyed all of these; PM me if you need me to break them down further.

Hi ladies!
I'm glad to be back, but unfortunately there's not enough time to catch up and read everything you wrote in my absence.
My PC broke 3 weeks ago and for a few days I was really afraid of losing a big part of my fics. I had a back-up from April, but I added a lot of fics and ebooks to my Calibre library in the meantime. So that would have meant a lot of work.
But now I have a new PC, Calibre is installes and running how I like it and my brother installed my old drive into the new computer. All my fics and books are back. First thing to do was of course a back-up.

I really hate when authors abandon fics. I'm still waiting for AngstGodess to return and finish Company Loves Misery. Every few months I check those old fics, but of course there aren't updates. I would receive e-mails anyway, but somehow I never lose hope.

I'm reading Abbracciare Il Cantante by bratty-vamp at the moment. Very old fic...vampward... I like it a lot. Should be in the index. And I could recommend it for a fanfic-beginner as it's rather twilight-ish. A short summary: Edward is a canon vampire, but left Forks after the first biology class with Bella because he was to scared that he might kill her. He enrolls in college three years after the first encounter and meets Bella there again. They become friends and I'm curious where she goes with the story. I'm 100 pages in (of 300 pages) and Bella still doesn't know that Edward is a vampire. It's all EPOV.

Or I would recommend Edward Cullen, Dick For Hire. One of my first fics and still one of my absolute all-time-favorites. Edward is such an ass, but at the same time so hot and adorable.
It's pulled, but in the Index under FL95 aka FictionLover95.

Though F@N is also a really good beginner fic, imho.

I wouldn't recommend YellowGlue to be honest. I said it before: for me YellowGlue is more a poet than a novelist. Totally great writing, but hard to digest. Maybe it's my not being native English speaker though. But if I imagine reading YellowGlue in the very beginning...I think I would have stepped away from fanfiction.
Same goes for goldenmeadow...excellent and poetic writing...beautiful words, but maybe for later when someone is hooked anyway.

I read the whole Lux series by Jennifer L. Armentrout lately and absolutely loved it! Any fans here? I'm looking forward to August when the next book comes out! At first, I needed to get a little used to read about aliens, because I had no idea what those books were about, but I was hooked very fast.

And another great series ended these days: The Rough Riders by Lorelei James. Any fans here either? It's about a huge family of cowboys - though not all of them are cowboys - rodeos and each book is another love story. I devoured every book and I plan a complete re-read when I'm through. I'm still saving books 14-16 for bad times when nothing can hold my interest. Lorelei never disappointed me so far.

I'm sure there are a ton of SPAG errors in my post. Sorry for that. I'm a little out of practice.

I have Abbracciare Il Cantante and Dick for Hire...will try to move it up my list...not feeling like reading fanfic just right now though.

Haven't read any YellowGlue (don't shoot me Demaris!), am afraid to

But the comments that their writing is "lyrical", "like poetry", "hard to digest", the more am inclined to pass

I used to love reading espionage books Forsythe, Ludlum, et al but it made me think too hard.

so i stopped and just stuck with romance, fluff reads where am not required to think too much, but feel. That is wonderful escapism for me.

I started Lux series but realized it's not "complete" so i stopped

am waiting for it to finish before i read it.

Have read a few of those rough riders and remember enjoying it, *sigh* off to add a few more books to my ever growing library $:-\$

That makes 3 of us in a row who haven't read Yellowglue. I was feeling somewhat out of the loop and deprived because I hadn't but now - maybe we ought to start a support group for those of us who haven't read her?

I suppose this goes without saying, but I haven't read her or many other well known author's stories.
