  • Hi! I'm Ellachanted and I'm a fanfic-oholic.
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    :googlyeyes:

LOL! Maybe "crunchy" is an auto correct error. Or a translation error. I always forget that a lot of Twific readers have another primary language. ;)

I always wished I could speak/read a second language. :(

It's not all it's cracked up to be. It's cool at first but when you have to put your words in the wrong order and conjugate verbs in 6 different ways and learn 52 tenses, it's not so fun. And don't get me started on masculine and feminine nouns and articles. Guh.....  :banghead:

Just started on another Nora Roberts novel and find my worlds colliding again. Meeting a character named Douglas Edward Cullen. I just can't escape Twilight! I Googled and this is apparently old news, and you all have probably already posted about it, but still. It's new to me!!

Yeah - its a great book - I didn't read it until after I got hooked on Edward Cullen from Twilight and it gave me a giggle.  I have a soft spot in my heart for Douglas' grandfather the bookseller - I think his name is Roger.   If memory serves this is Birthright with Callie who discovers that she wasn't legally adopted - when she was two or three she got stolen from the line to see Santa Clause when she was with her original mother.

Thank God! As I said I peeped but it's good to know it hasn't been spoilt; I trust you Loop, if you say its better then....I might wait til October 23rd to read it once Delinquents comes out, maybe? If I can resist, which is doubtful... :P

If you can resist waiting till October is a good idea - I kinda wish I did, as now I'm (impatiently) waiting for delinquents.  :(  :-*

Thanks!  Yikes, I can't imagine having read it the first time with only access to the first half of the book!  I think it would have killed me.
I should of known better as I knew they had split Dusty into 2 books, so it was obvious that it would stopped about 1/2 way through what it originally was.  :-[ :-[

I'm one of the few....never read Dusty. Will the book stay true to the fic? I tried reading the fic but was too heart wrenching...I know, I'm a wuss.

On another note....anyone seen the movie Don Jon? I thought of Booked as it featured snippets of her fave. p0rn star in action.

Loving reading all the backstories...  there hasn't been enough Edward yet for my tastes, so I'm hoping he'll take center stage soon. :)

Yeah, in the end it's a E/B story so you'll get your Edward fix aplenty....

Does anyone know why Tufano79 is reposting Starlet on FFN? Didn't she swear of the site and it's already up to 25 chapter on TWCS? Did I miss something? Again?

Demaris - the title of the book that Supercreep is reading by Nora Roberts is called Birthright.  I mentioned it in my reply to her.

I have her on author alert and she's reposting all her stories but the two that got pulled. It's a little annoying. I should have taken her off. But she should be done soon.

I am/was a wuss too but I'm glad that I suffered through Dusty.  It's truly an amazing story.    I had been so scared to read it because of all the talk of the ending.   Ultimately though I was satisfied with the ending.       You should check it out.   But be warned that it only continues to get more heart wrenching.

When five-thousand-year-old human bones are found at a construction site in the small town of Woodsboro, the news draws archaeologist Callie Dunbrook out of her sabbatical and into a whirlwind of adventure, danger, and romance.

 While overseeing the dig, she must try to make sense of a cloud of death and misfortune that hangs over the project-fueling rumors that the site is cursed. And she must cope with the presence of her irritating—but irresistible—ex-husband, Jake. Furthermore, when a stranger claims to know a secret about her privileged Boston childhood, she is forced to question her own past as well.


Demaris - the above is the blurb from Birthright (the book with Douglas Edward Cullen).



Supercreep - have you  read either Sacred Sins or Brazen Virtue by Nora?   Brazen is the sequel to Sacred if you haven't already discovered that.

Hey has anyone read the All Souls Trilogy by Deborah Harkness? I was thinking of buying the ebook for the first one in the series A Discovery of Witches. Looks like it was on the NY Times Best Seller List. Anyone who has read it, what did you think of it? Has anyone read anything else she has written?

Not yet! I just finished Birthright, and omg did it start to drag towards the last third of the book. Really not all that uncommon, but there were quite a few names from the Twilight books that were present in Birthright. Edward Cullen, Jessica, Kate, Alice, Tyler, Jacob, Marcus, Carlysle. Strange.

As I make my way through her novels I can see the pattern in how she plots out each book, and how she seems to have sort of a blueprint that she sticks to. Nora Roberts is really good at drawing out suspense, but the endings usually fall flat next it all of the drama beforehand. I love that she writes so many strong female leads, too! I started with Black Hills, and then tried to read something a little bit lighter. Got bored and found myself reading The Witness, now I'm making my way through everything.

That's from her blog:

After almost a year of boycotting Fanfiction.net, I'm slowly adding my stories back to the site. No changes will be made to the stories (in regards to editing for content or whatnot). So many people have asked why I don't post on FFn and personally, it was because I was pissed off that they removed two stories without warning. Now, I will not be adding the two stories that were removed onto FFn. You can find A Ilha do Amor and A Prescription for Love on AO3, TWCS and Fiction Pad. (Links below)
...
 I didn't come to this decision lightly, but I will pull my stories if I'm targeted again by the MODs of FFn. Additionally, all of my one-shots are on TWCS, AO3 and FicPad and will not be added to FFn, either. My main site for posting will be FicPad. They are an amazing site and Jon and the crew have done wonders with it.

Thank you for following me, even while I'm being indecisive and a pain in the ass.

Hmmmm, never heard of Don Jon... Will look for it  :)

BTW, my family is safe after the typhoon hit this morning. Had no power for 27 hours but we are one of the luckier ones as it has already been restored. My mom and sister's family about 1km away from us still has no electricity. Not much rain so fewer flooded areas were reported this time. But the winds were very strong, lots of electric posts, telephone lines and trees fell.

Today was the first time after 2 years that i read a paperback, was conserving the battery of my ipad in case there wouldn't be electricity at night. This made me miss the feel of holding an actual printed book, but it made me realize i am old bec the font size is now hard for me to read. Much easier for me now to read on tablets as i can adjust the font size.  ;D

Oh, and 1 eureka moment for me. Had to use my PC as i had to do something for work that requires a minikey. Since the landline was down, i had no internet. I tried to see if my iphone's wifi can work. Followed the hotspot direction and I plugged my phone directly to the PC,  selected the LAN connection via cellular phone and to my amazement, it actually worked! It's during these times i truly appreciate my iphone  :)

So glad that all is well with you and yours. As far as the eyesight goes...once you hit forty, it's all over.
Good for your tech skills, I have no clue what you did but it shows you at least have a clue..me..none.

Don Jon is a movie that came out earlier this year. It stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Scarlett Johansson, Julianne Moore and Tony Danza. Levitt is obsessed with p0rn hence the snippets. I liked it...it's funny.

Take care..

I am desperately looking for something good to read - fanfiction - and I really know I am in trouble when I continue to read a 3 year old completed story even though it has the same spelling mistakes over and over, I am guessing autocorrect...

Where for were (over and over and over)
Were for where
This is my favorite - minuet for minute  :D

There are others, but those are the real head bangers .  :banghead:

Story is too wordy too, but there has been a real drought of completed fanfics or even updates lately and I am not in the mood to keep rereading my favorites or starting a paper book.  I just want a nice romantic drama.

I think I need a new distraction.  :'(

I have!!! I've read A Discovery of Witches (the rest hadn't yet been published at the time) and I loved it, gave it four stars, might even have a review on my GR page, maybe?  Ohhhhh, thanks for reminding me!  :-* They're next after I finish/up-to-date with InDeath. Though I'll have to re-read Discovery, its been that long since I did....
